Clan Wars


 * This is a "Safe" mini-game; if a player dies, the player will not lose items. The arena, however, is located within the Wilderness and players may be attacked by NPCs and/or revenants whilst travelling there. Using the sapphire necklace teleport to Clan Wars will negate this risk.

Clan Wars is a mini-game that was released on December 10, 2007. It is available to all players, both free and Members, and is located in level 20 Wilderness (While in the hall, or minigame you are not considered in the Wilderness). The minigame allows clans to fight each other, if you have ever wanted to fight a safe clan war, this is the place for you. After entering the clan wars challenge hall which is south west of the clan wars arena, a player ranked as a captain or higher on a chat channel can right-click challenge another person ranked captain or higher in a different clan.

Once the challenge has been accepted the challenging player and the accepting player will both be teleported into the arena, the rest of the clan will then have two minutes to enter the arena through one of the portals located in the north and south end clan wars challenge hall, if they fail to make it into the portal by this time they will be sent to the viewing area and will be forced to watch. You can leave the viewing area via portal.

If a player is not in a clan, but has friends with someone fighting in a clan war, the player can enter their name and you will be sent to the viewing area where you can watch the war. There is a bank west of the challenge hall, (slightly east of Bounty Hunter) but be warned it involves traveling through a stretch of Wilderness, so one should be wary of Revenants. The easiest way to reach clan wars is using the Games necklace or via the Ancient magicks spell "Carrallangar Teleport" (level 84), which puts the player right next to the the Clan Wars.

It is advisable for the player to get everyone on their team to wear the same team cape, as this makes things easier. Once all of the clan has entered the arena, they will be separated by a wall of spikes that spans the Clan Wars arena. After two minutes have passed the wall will be slowly lowered and the clan war will begin, this minute delay is for the clan leaders to organize tactics on their channel, gives the opportunity make a short plan, and gives the clan members time to get in the arena, and ready.

The best tactic is to make full use of the combat triangle, rangers take on mages, mages take on warriors and warriors take on rangers, once the wall is about half way down rangers and magic will be able to fire projectiles/spells at the other clan, this is a very big advantage to them as the melee players have to wait for the wall to be lowered. It is worth noting that in clan wars a disorganized larger or higher leveled clan can easily be beaten by a smaller or lower leveled clan that is organized. A common strategy is to group together near the back of arena to pick off a few targets before the main force arrives. However, it is not uncommon to see smaller, high leveled clans win against much larger, lower leveled clans

If you win, then it says "Your clan was victorious", or if you are not in the war, a message will show up in your clan chat bar and it says "Your clan has triumphed in battle. If you lose, it will say "Your clan was defeated", and it is the same when you are not in the war. there are times when you could be very far away and this message will apear.

Music

 * Clan Wars - Music will not unlock while waiting inside the arena; you have to wait for the actual fight.

Trivia

 * There was a glitchy space both in the North-west and North-east and Southern areas of Clan Wars. It allowed you to "drop" into the floor. Mysteriously, players could attack while under the ground. In addition, if you dropped an item in one of the glitched spaces, you could not pick it back up again. This has been fixed as of January 29th, 2008.
 * Some players may have an "attack" option on other players outside of Clan Wars, despite not being able to attack anyone. This is especially likely to occur in a crowded world or if the clan wars challenge arena is crowded. This glitch also occurred when POH's were created, with the combat arenas.  A player did exploit, this glitch and it is now fixed.
 * There is a glitch in the text that says "Your clan has been defeated in battle", when your clan won the battle. The cause of this is unknown and has a very low rate of occurrence.
 * There is also a glitch that the upper-right box that displays the number of clan members on the field is inaccurate. There still may be multiple members of one side alive on the field, but that side may reach to be listed as having no players, making them lose. The cause is unknown, and this happens rarely.
 * Calladin is the mighty warrior who watches over the arena.
 * There have been some confusion when 2 players would enter, and it would only read 1 person. The person would not count, and when a person died with the other teammate still alive, the opponent team would win.
 * Sometimes big clans would get what are called "split wars". It is where half of that clan is in a war while the other half is in another. The cause is unknown
