PvP

The PVP Mine (High Risk, High Reward)

The PVP Mine is a single shared mine where PvP is always on. The blocks here are far more valuable than any normal mine:

A single trip can earn you a fortune - but anyone can attack you while you mine. If you die in the PVP Mine you drop 20% of your Denarius, 20% of your Auctoritas, and 10% of your Civitas on the spot, and the killer gets rewarded.

How to get there

• Use /menu or look for the PVP Mine warp at spawn.
• There is a 10-block safe zone around the entrance - past it, PvP is fair game.

Combat Tagging

When you hit another player (or they hit you), you become combat tagged for a short time.

• While combat-tagged, you cannot teleport, use /home, or run to a safe zone.
• The point is to stop people from attacking and then instantly escaping.
• A timer shows on your screen. Wait it out before trying to leave.

Kill Rewards and Bounties

Kill rewards

When you kill another player, you earn rewards:

• +100 Auctoritas tokens and $500 Denarius per kill.
• Plus +$5 per trophy the victim was carrying - veterans pay better.
• The victim loses 10 trophies (their Denarius and Auctoritas are also hit by the PVP Mine death penalty above).

Milestone bonuses

Reach kill milestones for bonus rewards:

Bounties

Place a bounty on another player with /bounty. Anyone who kills the target claims the bounty. Great for rivalries and PVP events.

• Open /bounty to see active bounties.
• Place one with /bounty <player> <amount>.
• Top bounty hunters can make serious money.

/pvpmode - Choose Your Combat Style

Different players like different combat feels. Imperium lets each player choose between two styles:

How to switch

• /pvpmode - See your current mode.
• /pvpmode 1.8 - Switch to no-cooldown combat.
• /pvpmode 1.9 - Switch to cooldown combat.
• /pvpmode toggle - Flip between the two.

Your choice is saved and reapplied every time you log in, respawn, or change worlds. Set it once and forget it.

Killstreaks

Chain kills without dying to build a killstreak. The higher your streak, the more attention you draw - and the better your rewards.

• Use /killstreak to see your current and best streaks.
• Long streaks may trigger server-wide announcements.

Safe Zones

Not everywhere is dangerous. Safe zones are areas where PVP is disabled and you cannot be attacked.

• Spawn (Rome) is always a safe zone.
• Most public mines are safe.
• The PVP Mine is the main place where PVP is on.

If you are being chased, run to a safe zone - but remember, combat tagging blocks teleporting. You have to walk out.

Tips for PvP

1. Bring a PVP kit. Type /kit and claim the Arena Kit - free Prot 4 / Sharp 5 diamond gear with no cooldown. You will not lose your mining gear this way.
2. Travel light. Do not bring your best pickaxe to the PVP mine unless you are willing to risk it.
3. Watch your back. Other players will wait until your inventory is full of valuable ores to attack.
4. Use abilities. Combat abilities like War Cry (+25% damage) and Shield Bash (knockback) can turn a fight.
5. Team up. Go with friends or legion-mates. Numbers win fights.
6. Set your /pvpmode to whatever feels best for you. Most veterans prefer 1.8 for fast clicking.
