MARKIII-RUST is completely free to play — every feature, every event, every piece of content is accessible without spending a penny. But if you want to support the server and get some quality-of-life boosts in return, VIP packages are available through our Tebex store.
This guide breaks down what each tier offers so you can decide if VIP is right for you and which package fits your playstyle.
What VIP Gives You
VIP perks fall into a few categories: kits, quality-of-life improvements, and XP boosts. None of these give you access to content that free players can't reach — they accelerate your progression and smooth out the gameplay experience.
Daily Kits: Better gear, resources, and supplies on a shorter cooldown
Extra Homes: More /sethome teleport points for faster map navigation
Queue Priority: Skip the queue on wipe day when the server is full
XP Boosts: Faster profession and master level progression
Backpack Upgrades: Extra inventory rows for longer farming sessions
Chat Perks: Coloured name, VIP tag, and chat badge
VIP vs Free Play
The most important thing to understand is that VIP doesn't gate any content. Free players can access every raidable base, every event, every profession, every weapon. The Playtime Ranks system also gives free players many VIP-equivalent perks over time — VIP just gets you there faster.
Think of VIP as a time-saver, not a paywall. A free player with 100 hours will have comparable perks to a new VIP player. The VIP player gets those perks on day one, which matters most in the early days of a wipe when efficiency is king.
Which Tier Should You Pick?
Casual Players
If you play a few hours a week, the basic VIP tier gives you the biggest bang for your buck. The daily kit alone saves you 30+ minutes of early-wipe farming, and the extra homes make getting around the map painless. You don't need the higher tiers unless you're playing heavily.
Regular Players
Mid-tier VIP is the sweet spot for players who are on most days. The XP boost accelerates your profession levelling noticeably, and the backpack upgrade is a game-changer for long farming or raiding sessions. The better kit also means you're competitive faster after each wipe.
Dedicated Players
Top-tier VIP is for players who are on daily and want every advantage the server offers. Maximum homes, maximum backpack size, the best daily kit, and the highest XP multiplier. If you're racing for master levels or competing on leaderboards, this tier gives you the edge.
How to Purchase
All VIP packages are available at store.markiii-rust.co.uk. The store is powered by Tebex, which handles payment securely. After purchase, your VIP perks activate automatically the next time you join the server (usually within a few minutes).
VIP packages are monthly subscriptions or one-time purchases depending on the tier. Check the store for current pricing and any active promotions — we regularly run sales around wipe days and holidays.
Supporting the Server
Beyond the perks, VIP purchases directly fund the server. Hosting two regions (EU and US), maintaining custom plugins, and keeping the infrastructure running costs real money. Every VIP purchase helps keep MARKIII-RUST online and actively developed for the whole community.
If you enjoy the server but aren't interested in VIP perks, you can also support through one-time donations or by purchasing cosmetic items in the store. Every bit helps.
