How do I make money on VMR?

What is the ‘theme’? Where can I see what/when the theme is/changes.

  • A VMR Theme is a specific set of items that will have value. These are the items you collect/farm/produce to sell for the week in order to place in Top 5.
  • The theme will always be posted on the News, Announcements & Server Information

Why can’t I build?
