Requirements

  • Character level 30+
  • 5,000 gold founding fee (non-refundable)
  • 3 founding members ready to join immediately (including you)
  • A unique clan name and 3-character tag

Step 1: Check Name Availability

Before announcing your clan publicly, verify the name: Social → Clans → Search. Both the clan name and tag must be unique. Names cannot be changed after founding — research first.

Step 2: Choose Your Clan Type

  • Combat Clan: +10% clan war score, access to War Hall upgrades first. Best for PvP-focused groups.
  • Trade Clan: +10% gold from clan activities, access to Market Hall upgrades first. Best for casual/economy-focused groups.
  • Balanced: No specialization bonus. Can access all upgrades equally. Best for mixed-activity clans.

Clan type can be changed once every 90 days (costs 10,000 gold).

Step 3: Found the Clan

Social → Clans → Create New Clan. Fill in name, tag, description, and type. Pay the 5,000 gold fee. Invite your 3 founding members within 24 hours — clans with fewer than 3 members after 24 hours are automatically dissolved.

Step 4: The First 7 Days

The first week determines your clan's trajectory:

  1. Day 1: Set up clan rules in the Message of the Day (MOTD). Define your goals clearly — war-focused, casual, endgame PvE.
  2. Day 2–3: Post on the in-game Clan Board and the official Discord. Target 10–15 members in the first week.
  3. Day 4: Upgrade the Clan Hall to Tier 2 (costs 20,000 gold, pooled from members). This unlocks the daily clan quest that provides XP and gold to all members.
  4. Day 5–6: Assign officer roles. Every clan needs a Recruiter (handles applications), Treasurer (manages bank), and War Commander (coordinates events).
  5. Day 7: Enter your first Clan War to establish faction presence. Win or lose, the participation matters for visibility.

Clan Hall Upgrades Priority

🏰 Recommended Upgrade Order

  1. Tier 2 Hall (unlocks daily clan quest)
  2. Guild XP Banner (all member XP +15%)
  3. Clan Bank Vault (increases shared bank capacity)
  4. War Room (enables Clan War participation)
  5. Crafting Wing (clan-exclusive crafting recipes)

Common Founding Mistakes

  • Founding alone with no committed founding members — clans without momentum in week 1 rarely recover
  • Choosing a name that's similar to an existing prominent clan — causes confusion and potential disputes
  • Not setting expectations clearly in the MOTD — members who join without knowing the clan's focus typically leave within 2 weeks
  • Spending the clan bank on upgrades before having enough active members to make the upgrades worthwhile
