Look, let's be honest. Welcome to Meca Ranking, your ultimate destination for everything Sol: enchant, where we break down server-wide Nine consumption, tax stats, and level rankings. Lately, the Nine consumption of top-tier players has skyrocketed into the hundreds of millions, but this week we actually saw someone smash through the 13.9 billion Nine mark. Absolute madness, right? KookminTree has dug into the data across all servers to see how everyone else is holding up.

The player Kaswangno1, who obliterated the 13.9 billion Nine consumption milestone

Recent updates rolled out a bunch of new progression systems like constellations and conversion mechanics that eat up Nine to buff character stats. The constellation system, in particular, grants massive defensive boosts as you push the numbers up. Coupled with the fierce competition in the Sky Island world battlefield, quite a few high-ranking players heavily invested Nine into constellations simply to stay alive in massive brawls.

And the result? Kaswangno1 from the Lindel 3 server, who has comfortably maintained the number one spot in the all-server Nine consumption ranking week after week, hit a staggering 13,984,790,000 Nine. This is genuinely the first time anyone has ever crossed the 10 billion mark in history. We are honestly quite curious to see how much gets burned by the time the upcoming divine being selection rolls around.

Apart from that absolute unit, the average Nine consumption for top players has risen across the board. Dongil from the Lindel 1 server burned 6.3 billion, Not from the Kalteon 1 server used 6 billion, Guta from the Lindel 3 server spent 5.3 billion, Ulsanwang from the Richard 3 server hit 4.8 billion, Enthic healer from the Lindel 3 server recorded 4.4 billion, and Tiwa from the Erne 1 server logged 4.3 billion, neatly rounding out the upper ranks. The introduction of the world exchange, which let players snap up Nine Cores from other worlds, clearly played a massive role in driving up these averages.

Server-by-server Nine consumption rankings with relatively less bloodshed

The selection of the divine being for the fifth seasonal server is just a day away. Unlike previous cycles, this round saw very few heated server rivalries. Barring a few exceptions, the reigning number-one Nine consumer in most servers dominated the charts by a mile. Unless someone pulls off a miraculous heist of hundreds of millions at the eleventh hour, they look set to comfortably claim the server deity title.

That said, the few servers that actually look like they are heading for a proper scrap include Regina 2 (Mongdung-i Guild's Geumgogechu versus Race Guild's Son-isa-nim), Regina 5 (Drake Guild's Gidaejima versus Chap-chu-chap-chap-chu-u Guild's Manyeobin), Lindel 4 (Romantic A Guild's Romanticashe versus Chicken Guild's Nacent), Lindel 5 (Captain Guild's Jaebeom-hyeong versus Comma Guild's Wolha), and Erne 4 (Geondeol Guild's Kkaebi-unni versus Utopia Guild's Sipchun).

Who took the crown for Nine consumption in each world group?

So, how do the world group standings look? According to the data, Not took first place in Kalteon server 1, Kaswangno1 led Lindel server 3, Antom claimed the top spot in Jeobras server 2, Mujeolja conquered Helrond server 1, Tiwa secured Erne server 1, Ulsanwang dominated Richard server 3, and Johta stood tallest in Regina server 1. On average, the Lindel world remains the most fiercely contested money pit, boasting a jaw-dropping top-ten average Nine consumption of 3.185 billion.

How about the all-server tax rankings?

Moving on to the tax coffers across all servers, the Lindel 3 server accumulated the most staggering amount by far, stacking up a whopping 1,002,967 succession rewards and 250,741 consecutive succession reward diamonds. Kaswangno1 of the Sin-deullin Guild, currently sitting comfortably at the top of the all-server Nine consumption ladder, is expected to pocket this massive haul.

Among regular servers that aren't dominated by streamers, Erne 1 boasted the highest accumulated succession rewards, pulling in 562,821 standard succession rewards and 349,085 consecutive ones. Barring any dramatic upsets, Tiwa of the Yeokrin Guild—who is currently leading the Erne world with 4.3 billion consumed Nine—will likely walk away with this treasure.

Let us take a look at the all-server level rankings.

Next up, let us check out the level standings across Sol: enchant. This week saw three players finally hit the elusive level 65 milestone. The trailblazers are Coin from the Chamgyoyuk Guild on Lindel 1, along with Mulso-wang and Jo-daepyo from the Legend Guild on Lindel 2, all boasting truly absurd amounts of accumulated experience.

The average level of top rankers is steadily climbing day by day. This week we welcomed 13 players who hit level 64, 43 players reaching level 63, and an astonishing 110 players crossing the level 62 threshold. The addition of the Sky Island world battlefield, arguably the most efficient hunting ground around, has seriously accelerated the leveling pace for the upper echelon.

What about the class distribution of top rankers?

Switching gears, let us examine the class distribution among the elite players of Sol: enchant. Out of the 59 rankers who cracked level 63 or higher across all servers, Knights take up a dominant 50.8% of the pie. Rangers follow closely at 32.2%, while Mages sit at 16.9%. Many in the community have pointed out that the deeper you push into the late game, the harder it gets for Mages to find a reliable spot in both hunting grounds and PvP skirmishes.

Sol: enchant player poll

Here are the results from last week's Sol: enchant Meca Ranking poll. The question was, 'What do you think of the world content Sky Island?' A massive 76.84% voted that it is 'so good that you just have to grind there for 10 hours every week.' However, since it is a world dungeon packed to the brim with players, 22.11% admitted that while it is great, 'getting constantly jumped in open PK makes it an absolute nightmare.'

Now, it is time to unveil this week's poll topic. It has been quite a while since the Nine Core crafting level restriction was adjusted. While a good chunk of players seem content with how things are, some voices are calling for the crafting level cap to be raised once more. So, do you think the Nine Core crafting level restrictions need a tweak? Cast your vote, and we will reveal the results right here next week.
