Martial artists in Blade and Soul who share the same way of life can join up and travel together in order to do something great resulting in great rewards such as completing a heroic dungeon . This can be done by creating a “clan”.
To prevent any unnecessary confusion within the clan, only martial artists in the same faction is eligible to be in the same clan. In case any martial artist would like to join a clan that belongs to another faction, he needs to pay a small fee and transfer to a new faction. Remember that this action will reset all Faction Rank.
How to Create a Clan
A Clan can be created by sending an application with a clan name and a small fee to a Faction Clan Supervisor. There are some requirements in naming the clan as seen below:
- It should have 3-20 characters only.
- It should not have a space in the beginning or in the end.
- It should not contain any prohibited or rude words.
Once the clan is created, up to 50 members can join. The numbers will be increased once the clan has more levels. A martial artist can open up the Clan Overview window by pressing “H”.

How to Join a Clan
A martial artist is required to send an application in order to join a specific clan. He/She will be a clan member once the application is reviewed and accepted. All clans in each faction are listed in Dragonspire.
A Clan is also able to send an invitation to a specific martial artist. However, this action is only limited to an authorized member who has a rank of elder or above.
Clan Position
Currently, there are 4 positions in the clan and each position has a different duty and permission as seen from the below table.
| Position | Send Invitations | Promote/Banish Member | Level Up the Clan | Disbandment |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Clan Leader | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Clan Unit | Yes | Yes | No | No |
| Clan Elder | Yes | No | No | No |
| Clan Member | No | No | No | No |
*All positions are eligible to access a clan’s warehouse.
Clan Ranks and Benefits
As soon as a clan leader starts a clan, it will have Rank 1 automatically. Currently there are 14 Ranks in total. To increase a clan rank, it’s the responsibility of all clan members. They need to unite their hearts as one and complete all requirements in each level. This includes numbers of member, gold, Naryu Silver, Faction Insignias, and Soulstones. The higher the clan rank is, the higher the benefits will be required.
Faction Insignias and Soulstones can only be obtained through PvP daily quests by redeeming “Prestige Points” from a faction’s Coin Exchange Merchant. This makes it necessary for all clan members to work together in a world PvP in order to kill members from a rival faction and grind Prestige Points as much as possible.
Please see the below table for all available clan rank requirements and their benefits.
