Hq.png
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 1,000Doubloons. 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 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 hierarchically:

Rank Permissions
Commander Can build structures on the clan Naval Base, see the amount of OilOil obtained by clan members with hidden statistics, edit the clan name, tag, and description, modify the rank of clan members, send invites and accept applications, remove members, disband the clan, etc. Can form divisions for Clan Battles.
Deputy Commander Same as the Commander, except cannot remove other Deputy Commanders or disband the clan.
Recruiter Can send invitations and accept applications to the clan. Can form divisions for Clan Battles.
Commissioned Officer No permissions.
Line Officer No permissions.
Midshipman No permissions.

The naval base

Main article: Naval Base

Clan benefits

For most players, the primary attraction of a clan is the benefits that its members gain from development of the clan's naval base. As the naval base grows, there are increasing bonuses to member experience and earned resources, and discounts on ships.

A less widely used but no less important benefit is the ability to participate in Clan Battles.

Clan Rating

The Clan Rating icon shows the clan's standing in the current clan battles season. In the case that there is no clan battles season currently, it will display the clan's final standing from the most recent clan battles season.

Clan Members

Like the Naval Base, the clan's member list is publicly available.

From a member entry, anyone can send a port chat message or, unless the player has hidden his, view the member's profile. <left-click> on the member entry for options.

Both the clan's and each member's historical battle performance statistics by battle mode are also available, unless, again, the player has chosen to hide his. OilOil contribution is not available to non-members.

——————————————————————————————————————————————

On the Port Main Bar, the right-most option is either "Clan" if you are not in a clan, or your clan's hack if you are.

Clan pages when you're not in a clan Clanless_main_bar_snip_2.png

The following pages are seen by a player who is not a clan member.

  • Locate the player using the Chat Interface (orange icon lower left corner of the Port screen).
  • <right-click> on the player line and select 'Invite to Clan'.
  • The invitation is entered on your clan's Requests page, pending his acceptance.

  • Invitations do time out.
  • If he accepts, he is inducted immediately and no further action is required, except perhaps an introduction.[4]

A player cannot be invited if he already belongs to a clan.

Managing a clan

Member management options available to clan leadership.

Managing a clan in World of Warships is relatively simple. In your member list:

  • 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.

Managing the Clan's Description, Name, Tag, and Rules

  • While on the clan's Naval Base page, navigate to the clan's name with the banner next to it.
  • Click on the clan's name with the banner next to it. A pop-down menu will appear with multiple management options. Choose the desired option to edit the parameter.
  • A Description can be added or changed at any time. Rules can be viewed but not changed. Changing the Tag or Name costs Doubloons 2500.

Clan resources

Clan Treasury

The clan's oilOil stores and other resources are held in the clan treasury. See the Naval Base article for details.

Leaving a Clan

A clan member is free to leave at any time. There are consequences: to join another clan he will have to go through the application process; and to start receiving clan benefits he will have to earn a certain amount of Oil Oil.

After leaving a clan, a player may not join a clan for 72 hours.

To leave:

  • Navigate to the clan's Naval Base.
  • Click on the clan's name with the banner next to it. A pop-down menu will appear. Click "Leave Clan".

Clan_leave_menu.png

  • The following confirmation page appears:


Clan_leave_confirm.png

Clan Battles & Naval Battles

Main article: Clan Battles

Members of a clan may wish to view their recent performance during Clan Battles. This page lists the clan's past battles. From here, clicking on a battle will display further information about that battle including the players and what ships they were playing, the map, and how many points were won or lost.

Notes

  1. 1.0 1.1 Access Level 17 is still required to participate in Clan Battles.
  2. Creating a clan nominally costs Doubloons 2500, but the 'sale' appears to be perpetual. Be sure you're satisfied with the clan tag and name, though, because that does cost Doubloons 2500 to change.
  3. There is no notification on the invitee's Port screen; he must inspect his clan page to see it.
  4. The well-known introduction to new members of the Lone Wolves clans (solo player clans) is,
    "Welcome to the Lone Wolves. It will be nice not getting to know you."
