General information about clans

A clan consists of a Clan Leader and a number of clan members. New clans can accept up to 10 members. As they develop and level up, they can grow to 220 members.

Creating a clan

Any character above level 10 can create a clan. Upon reaching level 10 or higher, he/she can go to the NPC responsible for creating clans. A clan name can be up to 16 letters and digits and can't contain spaces or special characters.

Leaving a clan

A clan member can leave the clan, but will get certain penalties:

• If the clan leader wants to expel a player from the clan, he opens the Clan Window (Clan Window), selects the tab Actions > Clan, selects the player's name and clicks "Dismiss". A player expelled from the clan must wait one calendar day before joining another clan, but can create a new clan immediately. After expelling a clan member, the clan must wait one day before accepting new members.
• If a player wants to leave the clan, they can open the Clan Window (Clan Window), select the tab Actions > Clan and click "Leave". After a player leaves the clan themselves, he/she can't join another clan for one calendar day, but can create a new clan immediately. The clan leader can accept new members without a time penalty.

If the clan leader leaves the clan, the clan is automatically disbanded and gets penalties.

Transferring Clan Leader rights

The clan leader can transfer leadership to other clan members. The leader must submit a request to transfer leadership to the NPC responsible for clan-related actions. The new clan leader will take on the new role within the set activation time. (The transfer of clan leadership must happen even if the connection to the server is unexpectedly lost.) The transfer can be canceled at any time before the set activation time expires.

Disbanding a clan

The clan leader can disband the clan without the members' prior consent. Disbanding is done the same way as creating, through the corresponding NPC.

Disbanding a clan takes seven calendar days. The use of clan skills is limited during this period, but the clan chat and bulletin board can still be used. A clan can't be disbanded if it's involved in a clan war. Clan members who leave the clan during these seven days also can't join new clans for one calendar day, but as soon as the clan is disbanded, the remaining players can join clans immediately.

A clan leader who disbanded their clan gets an XP penalty equal to the penalty of one death and can't create a new clan for the next ten days. In addition, all clan skills and the reputation it earned will be lost.

Clan levels

Clan levels are gained step by step. When a clan gains a level, it also gets a new level of clan skills. With these skills the clan gets various capabilities for managing and strengthening the clan, including registering clan members, expelling, disbanding, transferring leadership and using the warehouse. The higher the clan level, the stronger the clan becomes.

Here is the list of requirements for each clan level:

Clan level	SP	Adena	Required items	Reputation points	Minimum number of clan members
1	20 000	650 000	-	0	1 or more
2	100 000	2 500 000			1 or more
3	350 000	0	Blood Mark (Blood Mark)		1 or more
4	1 000 000	0	Alliance Manifesto (Alliance Manifesto)		1 or more
5	2 500 000	0	Seal of Aspiration (Seal of Aspiration)		1 or more
6	0	0	-	10 000	30 or more
7	0	0	-	20 000	80 or more
8	0	0	-	40 000	120 or more

10	0	0	5 Blood Pledges	40 000	140 or more
11	0	0	Ownership Territory Battles	75 000	170 or more

Talk to Sir Kristof Rodemai in Town of Giran to get information about the Alliance Manifesto, and to Sir Gustaf Athebaldt in Town of Oren to learn more about the Seal of Aspiration. Other clan quests also become available as the clan level grows.

Royal Guard and Order of Knights

When the clan level starts rising through reputation points, the clan leader can start creating sub-units called Royal Guards and Orders of Knights.

Royal Guards

When the clan reaches level 6, Royal Guard. can be created. After creating Royal Guard, one of the clan members must be appointed as captain. Up to two Royal Guard. units can be created. The maximum number of Royal Guard members is 30.

Order of Knights

When the clan reaches level 7, Order of Knights. can be created. After creating Order of Knights, one of the clan members must be appointed as captain. Up to two Order of Knights units can be created for each Royal Guard. The maximum number of Order of Knights members is 10.

Disbanding

Created Royal Guard and Order of Knights can't be disbanded until the clan itself is disbanded.

If a unit's captain leaves the clan, the unit remains, but the captain's place becomes vacant. In this case the clan leader must appoint a new captain.

A unit captain is reassigned with the help of the NPC responsible for clan-related actions.

Organizational structure

The organizational structure of the units is as follows:

Clan
Royal Guard A		Royal Guard B		Academy
Order of Knights A-1	Order of Knights A-2	Order of Knights B-1	Order of Knights B-2

Rights within the clan

• The sub-unit's name must be the same as the clan's.
• The crest and insignia must be the same as the clan's.
• Sub-units can use the same clan and alliance chats as the clan.
• Sub-units use the same clan hall, castle and bulletin board as the clan. (However, if the clan leader changes the privileges, this privilege may be removed).

Sub-units can take part in clan wars and sieges on the same terms as the clan.

Academy

The Academy system makes the game easier for new players, besides providing a way to grow and strengthen the clan in the long term.

Clans of level 5 and higher can create an Academy.

Any character of level 39 or lower who hasn't joined a clan yet and hasn't gotten the second class can join an Academy. The maximum number of Academy members is 20. The clan leader can create an Academy with the help of the NPC responsible for clan-related actions (High Priest, Grand Master, etc.).

Bonuses and penalties for Academy members

When an Academy member completes the second class quest, they receive a commemorative item. The senior NPC of the Academy member's class hands it over automatically when the second class quest is completed.

The character is then automatically removed from the Academy and gets no penalty when joining the same clan.

Rights of Academy members

An Academy member's clan name is the same as the main clan roster's, but it's shown in yellow.

Academy members can use the clan and alliance chats.

By default, Academy members can use the clan hall and castle owned by the clan, like any other clan member. However, the clan leader can change this setting so that Academy members can't use them.

Academy members can use the clan warehouse and the clan bulletin board just like other clan members. However, the clan leader can change this setting so that Academy members can't use them.

Academy members can't use the privileges listed below:

• Joining the clan or being expelled from the clan
• Managing and changing: the clan name and crest, the top leadership, clan levels; administering the bulletin board
• Clan wars, the right to expel from the clan, assigning privileges
• Auctions, tax management, siege/defense registration, mercenary management

During a clan war or siege, Academy members:

• Get an XP penalty even when killed by enemy clan members during a clan war
• Can't see the enemy mark above the names of hostile clan members
• Have nothing to do with clan wars and sieges.

Sponsors

The names of Academy members who have sponsors are shown in yellow, while the names of other Academy members without sponsors are shown in white.

Clan members with top-leadership privileges can appoint other clan members as sponsors of Academy members.

Academy members and sponsors will see system messages about each other logging in. Clan members with top-leadership privileges can end the relationship between Academy members and their sponsors.

Academy-related quests

Academy members can get a D-grade armor set from a quest in which regular clan members can help.

Only Academy members and graduates can wear the armor set obtained from this quest.

If you're removed from the Academy after getting this armor set, it won't be unequipped automatically. However, once the set is taken off, it can't be put on again.

Player ranks

Player ranks depend on the clan's social status and activity.

• Ranks are applied according to the status of the character's clan, the clan level and the position in the clan
• Players can see their rank in the character status window. A player can see the selected character's rank in the target window when selecting another player.
• Heroes and Nobles can get special ranks depending on their clan's status.
