Clans

Revision as of 23:00, 10 January 2020

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 2,500

. 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.
Executive Officer	Has the same permissions as the Commander, with the exception that they cannot remove the Commander or other Executive Officers from the clan.
Recruiter	Can send invites and accept applications to the clan. Can enter Clan Battles.
Commissioned Officer	Can enter Clan Battles. (?)
Line Officer	No permissions. (?)
Midshipman	No permissions.

Guides

Choosing the clan's name and tag.

Starting a Clan

Creating a clan normally costs 2,500 Doubloons; that amount must be present in the account. You may not create a clan within 72 hours of leaving another clan.

Click the "Clans" button on the main bar of the Port screen.
On the left side of the screen that opens click "Create Clan."
Enter the desired clan tag, also know as a clan hack. If the clan tag is unavailable or prohibited, a small notification will appear. If nothing appears, the clan tag is available.
Type in the full name of the clan. When satisfied,
Click "Create Clan".

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.

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.

Joining a Clan

While on the clan's Naval Base page, navigate to "Clan Search."
Use the search bar to find a clan to join.
After inspecting the clan, click "Join Clan" to begin an application.
Click "Join Clan" to send an application.
To view the application status, click "My Applications" on the Naval Base page.The application will appear with a status on the right side. A letter icon means that the clan's commander has yet to make a decision. An 'X' means the application was rejected. A check mark means the application was accepted.

Leaving a Clan

Similar to the process of editing the clan's parameters, 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. Click "Leave Clan" and follow the prompt.

The following confirmation page will appear:

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

The options displayed on the clan page varies depending upon the user's current clan membership status. If the player is a member of a clan, this will be reflected in the category name changing from "Clan" to the clan's tag.

From this page, users can also leave their current clan by clicking on the clan name to open a drop-down list.
+====Clan Search====
+[[File:Clan_Search.jpeg|400px|thumb|right|A view of the ingame Clan Search]]
+The Clan Search page can be used to search for a clan by its name or clan tag directly. This can be used for a variety of reasons, from viewing the members of another clan to applying directly to join.
+====Clan Battles====
+Members of a clan may wish to view their recent performance during [[Ship:Clan_Battles|Clan Battles.]] When a user opens this page, they will be greeted with a list of 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.
+====Clan Rating====
+Opening the Clan Rating page will load a leaderboard showcasing different clans and their position in the league. From this page, players can look for specific clans using the built-in search function.
+====Requests====
+Players who are currently not in a clan can access the Requests tab to see which clans they have applied too and also manage their invitations. From here, a player may choose to accept an invitation to join a clan.
+Captains who are ranked 'Recruitment Officer' or above within a clan can use the Requests tab to view current applications to join the clan as well as to view active invitations to members outside of the clan.
