Clans

Revision as of 14:57, 28 November 2017

Clans are player managed organizations that exist within the game client. Players can join a clan at no cost - however, they must apply or be invited. If a player so chooses, he or she can start a clan for 2,000 doubloons. Though there is no requirement to be in a clan, membership carries benefits. Besides allowing for faster communication through the clan-chat interface, members benefit from in-game perks provided by developing structures within the clan's Naval Base. These structures are built using Oil (), which is a clan-specific resource earned by members for simply playing the game. Additionally, membership in a clan allows for players to partake in the Clan Battles game mode.

Organization

Clans are structured in hierarchal order:

Position	Permissions
Commander	Can build structures on the clan Naval Base, see the amount of Oil () obtained by clan members who hid their statistics, edit the clan name, tag, and description, modify the positions of clan members, send invites and accept applications to the clan, remove players from the clan, disband the clan.
Deputy Commander	Permission equal to the Commander, except disbanding the clan.
Recruiter	Can send invites and accept applications to clan, exclude players from clan.
Line Officer	No permissions.

Guides

Choosing the clan's name and tag.

Starting a Clan

• To begin the process of starting a clan, click the "Clans" button while on the port screen.
• Upon opening the "clans" page, navigate to the left side of the screen. A short list of options will be available. Click "Create Clan."
• Here, players can create a clan. First, players will need to choose their clan tag. Enter the desired clan tag in the box. If the clan tag is unavailable or prohibited, a small notification will appear. If nothing appears, the clan tag is available. Next, type the full name of the clan. Once satisfied, click "Create Clan." Keep in mind that starting a clan requires doubloons. The normal cost to start a clan is 2,500 doubloons.

Member management options available to clan leadership.

Managing Clan Members

• Managing a clan in World of Warships is relatively simple. While on the clan's Naval Base, scroll down to view the members of the clan.
• Click on the check box next to the member who is to be managed.
• Upon selection, three options will become available. "Modify Position" will allow a commander to promote or demote clan members to different roles. "Delegate Authority" will promote the selected member to commander, relinquishing the player's command. "Exclude" will remove the selected player from the clan.

Clan management options allow players to edit the parameters of their clan.
