## How TalonMC Survival SMP works

### How land claims work
Survival is grief protected with GriefPrevention. Grab a Claim Wand with /claimwand or from the free Starter kit, left-click one corner, right-click the opposite corner, then shift + right-click to create the claim. Shift + left-click switches to subclaim.
[Land Claims: How to Claim Land and Trust Friends →](https://www.talonmc.net/survival/land-claims/)

### How jobs work
Open /jobs to join or quit jobs for free. You start with 3 job slots and unlock a 4th, 5th and 6th at Survival Levels 10, 20 and 30. Quitting a job keeps your level.
[TalonMC Survival Jobs: All 14 Jobs and What They Pay →](https://www.talonmc.net/survival/jobs/)

### Survival Levels
/levelup shows 100 Survival Levels. Each one has requirements: money (spent when you level up) plus lifetime votes, completed quests and job levels (which are only checked, not spent). Levels go in order and every level gives a Level crate.
[Survival Levels 1 to 100 and Their Rewards →](https://www.talonmc.net/survival/levels/)

### Deadzone explained
Deadzone is TalonMC Survival's extraction mode, in its own world. Type /dz and join to drop in at a spot away from the center and other players. Loot crates, fight Thugs, Cops and bosses, then stand on an Extraction Pad to bank everything you found.
[Deadzone: The Minecraft Extraction Mode on TalonMC →](https://www.talonmc.net/survival/deadzone/)

### Trading cards explained
Trading Cards are a collection game with 198 Minecraft-themed cards in 6 sets. Every card comes in 4 prints (Common, Rare, Legendary, Mythical), so there are 792 prints to collect. Every pull goes into your binder automatically.
[Minecraft Trading Cards: All 6 Sets and 4 Prints →](https://www.talonmc.net/survival/trading-cards/)

### Daily Missions Board
/missions opens a daily board with 40 missions: 5 in each of 8 categories (Mine World, Mining, Fishing, Deadzone, Combat, Farming, Exploration, Collector). Each category has two Tier I, two Tier II and one Tier III mission, and each mission has several steps.
[Daily Missions Board: 40 Missions Every Day →](https://www.talonmc.net/survival/missions/)

### Legendary Spawners
Legendary Spawners are TalonMC's custom spawners, in tiers 1 to 5. Higher tiers spawn more mobs, faster, with bigger drop multipliers, and tiers 3 and up stack mobs into one entity (up to 2,500).
[Legendary Spawners: All 5 Tiers →](https://www.talonmc.net/survival/spawners/)

### Angling (custom fishing)
Angling replaces vanilla fishing. Cast, wait for the boss bar to show REEL!, then right-click inside the window; too early or too late loses the catch, and a perfect reel pays a bonus. Your Angling Level (max 100) speeds up bites and improves rare fish, sea.
[Custom Fishing: All 51 Fish, Sea Creatures and Trophies →](https://www.talonmc.net/survival/fishing/)

### Making money on Survival
Jobs are the steady income: pick jobs that match how you play, and check /jobs for the current 48-hour boosts. Miner pays the most per action and scales with ore value; Deadzone jobs Enforcer and Scavenger pay well from level 1.

### PvP rules

PvP on TalonMC Survival is opt-in. It is off by default, and a hit only lands when both players have PvP enabled with /pvp. There is no PvP in the Deadzone or the Mine World.
Keep inventory is on by default. If you turn it off with /keepinventory, you drop your items on death.

### Worlds

The End is unlocked by the community: /end shows the goals and lets you donate money toward them.

## SMP vs survival server: what is the difference?

SMP means survival multiplayer. Some people use it for small whitelisted friend servers, others for any public survival server. TalonMC Survival is a public SMP: anyone can join, the world is shared, claims keep your builds safe, and keep inventory means a death does not cost you your gear.
