*if you are an experienced player reading this will be a waste of your time, this is all basic stuff*
Hello. My name is gn4rly. You may have seen me around kit in the past few days, or know me if you played MC-Central, which I was very active on for several years. My past igns are NebKrik, HillarySmells, Skuw, and 5cythe. Anyways, I checked out invaded lands for the first time a few days ago, and have been playing it a lot since then, discovering that it is much better than MCC. In a few days, I have had relative success on the server, at the time of writing this guide I have amassed some sharp IVs, prot 3, prot4, and about 100k. Obviously this is nothing much compared to what a lot of active donors have but I thought it was decent for a new non-donator. I thought I would throw some advice and tips out there that will help other new players on invaded. Here it is, and feel free to shit on me in the comments if you disagree with anything I said.
General tips:
Selling items. This is one of the main ways which you can profit on the server. If you are persistent you should be able to sell mostly anything given a decent amount of time. Try and buy items cheaply and sell them for higher, or just sell gear you get in Pvp. I posted a price guide recently which you can go check out if you are wondering what you should sell items for.
I might add more to this later if I think of anything else. Hope you enjoyed the read and maybe at least 1 person was able to benefit from these tips.

General tips:
- Vote, vote, vote! Try and be on around the same time every day so you can vote every 24 hours. You will get valuable rewards to use in combat or to sell.
- Do your kits as often as possible. You can get 2 sets of p1 every day and 8m spds every 4 hours. You can also stack up gapples.
- Make friends with donators! They can help you in pvp and maybe if you ask nicely, they’ll help you out with some stuff. Make sure not to be an annoying beggar though.
- Events! Winning events can unlock valuable rewards out of the event crate, don’t be discouraged if you don’t win events right away, they’re more tricky.
- Typing challenge! A lot of people don’t bother doing this, but by winning the typing challenge you can get an easy $100 every 5 minutes.
- Drop parties. Often stacked players will quit or need space and have drop parties. Make sure you take full advantage of this, you can get really game changing gear.
- Challenges at player warps may also be able to make you some money.
- When you spawn into the server you will want to begin by PvPing in /kit pvp, which is p2 Iron and gapples. Try and pick off other low health irons, or look for diamond armor on the ground. If you find some, put it in your /pv 1 or go to spawn asap. You’ll want to save your diamond armor in your ender chest or /pv 1 until you are more experienced on the server.
- Once you have played for a day or so, you might be ready to PvP in better gear. I have found that the best setup for me to PvP in is prot 1 diamond with an extra set in my inventory, punch I or II, and sharp 3. You may also want a rod if you are proficient. Bring speed and regen pots. I also bring one gapple just in case. You can enchant sharp III from /warp shop and get punch I from /kit archer. Once you jump, try and find players in diamond who don’t know what they’re doing, and kill them. You can get a lot of prot1 pretty easily this way. Sharp III/ punch II might be a bit harder to find. Don’t target Irons unless they are low HP, they will pop your armor. However, target /kit archer because they will have 8m speed which is very handy.
- Farm diamonds and sell their gear. Rinse, repeat, get money.
- One more thing is that I would never pvp with s4 or s5 as a non-donator because you will get 3 or 4v1ed. Just save it or sell it.
- One thing I like to think about when PvPing is my return on investment. If I just spent 3k on a s3 and punch II, and I die without killing anyone, I’ve just lost 3k. However, if I kill someone with a s3 punch II, I’m now even on my investment, so if I die, I technically didn’t lose anything because I have more gear to fall back on. If I were to get multiple more s3s or other valuable items because I bought the s3 and punch II, I think of that as a positive investment.
