Starting Your Clan
Clans are a group of players that can assemble under one name and work together during clan events to get their clan special awards or trophies. With a clan, you have a dojo that you can go to and trade with other players as well as research exclusive Warframes and weapons among other things.
Clan Research
Each clan can build different rooms for research that has its own exclusive items to be researched. Clan members must work together to contribute materials in order for items to be researched. The items that can be researched can not be obtained any other way (ie: market, trade, etc). Each item takes 36-72 hours to complete. Once complete you can buy the blueprint as many times as you'd like. Some of the exclusive clan items are Warframes, Weapons, Sentinels, etc.
Your Clan Dojo
When you first start building your dojo you get an elevator and one room. From then on, you can build whatever rooms you want to be attached to the doorways. You have many different customization options such as coloring, statues, trees, plants, banners, and more. A few photos from our dojo are below.
Building A Clan
If you are not a part of a clan already, and you want to create one of your own. You will pause your game, hit communication and then go to clan. From that point, you should be able to name and create your own clan. If you have the platinum you can go to Warframe's website and submit a clan logo if you have one prepared. It has to be appropriate and not against copyright. If it is rejected, your platinum will not be refunded. It is a submission fee. (It is completely optional!) After creating a clan, you will have one room and one elevator. It is up to you to build rooms and create research areas. Each room requires one forma and takes 24 hours to build. Inviting members to the clan will send an invite to the person's inbox. From that point, they will need to build a clan key in their foundry. The clan key takes 12 hours to build. Once it is built, the member will have access to enter the clan's dojo. As an owner of a clan, you can promote/demote other members of the clan, edit ranks, boot people from the clan, rename ranks and create and accept alliance requests from other clans. A clan has a maximum number of members it can have. To increase the number you have to upgrade your clan tier. Clan Tier is upgraded by constructing the Barracks associated with the desired clan tier. Clan Tier upgrades must be done in order, ascending from one tier to the next until the final tier is reached. Increasing the clan tier increases the number of materials it takes to complete research. All clan research must be completed by the clan before you can have access to the items.
