Raid Bases

NPC-defended bases to crack open, in PVE and PVP flavors.

Tiers marked on the map PVE raids lock to your team Buy a private raid with /buyraid

Raid types on the map

Difficulty, and whether a raid is PVE or PVP, show by icon and color on your in-game map (G). Entering a PVP raid triggers an on-screen warning, and the raid bubble around a PVP base is darker than a PVE one.

EasyPVE

Can spawn naturally on the map.

MediumPVE

Can spawn naturally on the map.

HardPVE

Can spawn naturally on the map.

ExpertPVE

Can spawn naturally on the map.

NightmarePVE

Does not spawn naturally. You buy a personal locked raid with /buyraid.

Abandoned / PlayerPVP

Pink map icon. Former player bases turned into raid content (see Player raid bases).

Admin eventPVP

Very light blue / teal map icon. Special server-run raids.

Colors and labels follow roughly this scheme; exact wording may vary slightly in game.

Not every tier is out on a fresh wipe

PVE locks and PVP

Natural PVE raids

Lock to the first player to destroy part of the building or kill an NPC. Hovering the map icon can show the raider's name. Anyone not on that team is ejected from the raid area.

Bought PVE raids

Spawn already locked to the buyer and their team. Nobody else can enter.

PVP raids

Free-for-all. Normal PVP rules apply (see the server rules and the PVP tab in /info).

If you walk away from a naturally spawning PVE raid for too long, it can unlock and go public again so someone else can lock it. You may still be on cooldown and unable to start another raid until that one finishes or despawns. Do not abandon a raid lightly.

Completing an NPC raid

Every tier completes the same way: destroy the Tool Cupboard, or loot all of the loot containers.

Your share of the loot to qualify for rewards

Easy, Medium
Any
Hard
50%
Expert
60%
Nightmare
75%

Of the base's loot value. Easy and Medium have no minimum: any participation counts.

Despawn timer

Starts when the raid completes (a few minutes). Keep damaging the raid building blocks and it resets, so the base does not vanish early.

Rewards are split

Among participants. You only get credit if you actively take part in the raid.

RP, cooldowns and /buyraid

Use /buyraid to buy a personal locked raid that only you and your team can run. It costs RP and puts you on a cooldown before you can start the same tier again.

Easy250RP10 min
Medium750RP20 min
Hard1,500RP45 min
Expert5,000RP2 hours
Nightmare15,000RP4 hours

The time under each price is the cooldown. It starts once you have been rewarded for the raid, not at purchase. Nobody else can enter a bought raid until it is over.

Need to cancel a purchase? Use /rbe despawn near the base for a 75% RP refund. You cannot despawn once you have damaged the base or looted anything (killing NPCs does not count as starting it).

Leaderboards and chat titles

Leaderboards

/rb ladder for the current wipe, /rb lifetime for all time.

[Top Raider]

Each wipe, the top raider from the previous wipe can get this custom chat title.

[Nightmare]

Earned by completing your first Nightmare raid: destroy the TC and collect at least 75% of the base's total loot (the same threshold Nightmare raids use for rewards).

Player raid bases

Player raid content appears in two ways: abandoned bases (you stopped playing) or converting a base you still own. Both are always PVP.

Abandoned bases

  • What keeps a base safe: the player who placed each piece, plus everyone authorized on the tool cupboard. If any one of them is still inside their timer, the whole base is safe. Clans and teams play no part.
  • What counts as activity: being connected. Logging in resets your clock (so do logging out or going to sleep). Building, upgrading or opening the TC do not count.
  • The timer runs from each player's last time seen online, using the longest timer their rank gives. The player with the latest expiry decides.
  • A base with no tool cupboard is never purged.
  • There is no warning beforehand, and no grace period after a wipe.

VIP, VIP Gold Monthly6days Biweekly4days
Veteran, Veteran Gold Monthly7days Biweekly5days
Champion, Top Voter, Top Donator, Wraith Monthly10days Biweekly7days

Days you can be away before your inactive base is purged and goes abandoned. The timers follow each server's wipe cycle.

When the timer runs out

A real base becomes a raid

A Raidable Bases event with the map marker Abandoned Player Base, announced in Discord. The loot left in the boxes stays for the raiders. Always PVP.

A tiny shack is simply removed

Very small bases are cleared away instead of becoming a raid.

Converting your base

  • You need a Runestone from the /s store. The Runestone costs RP to buy, but using it to convert your base is free.
  • Use only one Tool Cupboard and no high external walls in the design you convert.
  • No other TC or sleeping bag may be nearby in any direction of yours.
  • Include multiple empty boxes so loot can spawn. More complex bases can roll more loot.
  • Stand next to your TC, look at it, and run /ar raidme, then confirm through the warnings.
  • A cooldown applies between conversions, and there is a cap on how many player raid bases can exist at once, so put real effort into the build.
  • Converted bases behave like other PVP raids. Neighboring bases outside the raid bubble are not converted.
  • Anything deployed or built inside the bubble during the fight can be destroyed and will despawn when the raid ends.
  • Backpacks drop if you take part in combat.
  • After you leave the bubble, you can still be attacked for about 120 seconds.
  • When every box has been opened or the TC is destroyed, the base despawns after about 5 minutes.
  • A raid timer resets when a building piece is destroyed: the base will not vanish while it is actively being raided.
Defending pays. If your converted base survives without being cleared out and you are online when it despawns, you get an RP reward for defending it. The longer it holds, the more you earn. Staying online to defend is worth it.
