FAQ 5: How Do I Join Or Create A Dragon Court Clan







FAQ 5a: How do I join a clan?
 
Updated: 2006-01-09

In order to join a clan you will need 1 quest and 1000 marks to petition.
	Your hero will need access to the Castle.  If you are a noble, 
	access is free.  If you are still a peasant, then you will have to 
	purchase a castle pass from the Town Shoppe.
  
Once you have access into the castle, go to Clan Hall, this is where 
	you can petition clans for membership.  Enter the name of the 
	clan you want to join, then click on 'Seek'. 

Click on the 'Make It So' checkbox (this protects against accidents).
	Click on 'Petition to Join $1000'.  This will send mail to the 
	clan leader.  He will then review your application, and decide 
	if you are suitable for the clan.

You will recieve a notice in the game mail either accepting or rejecting 
	your petition.  If you are accepted, the this mail is accompanied 
	by a 'Grant to Join'.  Open your pack and 'Use' the grant.  You 
	will become a clan member.

Warning!  If you are already a clan member when you use a grant, 
	the consequences could be dire.

You can learn more about the various clans through the Clan Hall Forum,
	and through the Clan Pages.  Most of the larger clans have 
	web pages that are linked from the Clan Pages.  These often 
	contain useful tutorials.



FAQ 5b: How do I create a clan?
 
    


  1. Creating your own clan requires a rank of Baron (rank 4),
75 quests and 250,000 marks.


  2. You will need access to the Castle in order to get to Clan Hall.


  3. You create a clan from within Clan Hall but instead of join, 
click create. 


  4. You'll need a unique and very cool name to type into that bar for 
creating a clan.  


  5. Petitions to join your clan will be received at the Post Office for you
in the castle.  




FAQ 5c:  How do I get Clan Powers?
 

Clan powers are earned by building the clan's power level.  

The power level correlates basically to the number of members 
in a clan and those member's values configured from a scale based
on their nobility from Peasants=0 to Seneschal for 13:  




Dragon Court 1 Ranks


Male RanksRank ValueFemale Rank


PeasantsRank 0Peasants


SquireRank 1Lady


KnightRank 2Dame


CaptainRank 3Amazon


BaronRank 4Baroness


CountRank 5Countess


ViscountRank 6Comtessa


MarquisRank 7Marquessa


EarlRank 8Earl


DukeRank 9Duchess


PrinceRank 10Princess


ViceroyRank 11Viceroy


RegentRank 12Regents


SeneschalRank 13Seneschal


Players can not attain these ranks:


King


Emperor






There are some other variants in configuring the power level, 
but this will give you an extremely close approximation.

Abilities are earned when the Clan has reached and maintained during
the ability request period:
    


  1.    100 power level

  2.    500 power level

  3.   2500 power level 

  4. 10,000 power level

  5. 25,000 power level


Check out the Clan Powers in order to research which abilities you
are working toward.

You can see the Clan Powers from the link on the Grey Column to the 
left of the Dragon Court 1 game. 

Look under the Clans section on the Grey Column, then see the item 
called, "Clan Powers".

When a clan has earned an ability, the clan leader can then go to 
the DC Utilities page to activate a new power.  

The 'Clan Utility' is located at the bottom of the Dragon Court 
Utilities Page. This utilities page has many other tools to aid with 
Clan Management.

You can find the link to the DC Utilities from the Dragon Court 1
Game Page.  The link is on the Grey Column to the left of the DC Game
under the Section Header "Clans," see "Clan Utilities".

Please note, a clan will not have an ability removed once that 
ability has been earned even if the clan does not maintain their
power level into the future.  Abilities earned are abilities earned.



FAQ 5d: Where can I find a list of DC Clans?


You can see a complete list of Active Dragon Court 1 Clans
from the Dragon Court 1 Game Page.

On the DC 1 page, see the Grey Column.  
Under the section "Clans" see, "Active Clan Lists."

These Active Clan Lists have the number of members,
the clan's power level, and any abilities that the clan
has already chosen.



FAQ 5e: Where can I see a list of Clan Powers?
 

From the Dragon Court Game Page, see the Grey Column on the left
of the game.

Under the Section Header "Clans", you should see a link called,
"Clan Power".  This link will show you all the Clan Powers
currently available and give you a brief description of what
each power does.
