Clan Functions

Clan Wars

Clan wars represent the pinnacle of organized PvP combat in Lineage 2, where clans battle for supremacy, resources, and reputation. A clan war begins when a level 4+ clan leader declares war on another clan, initiating a 24-hour preparation period. During this time, both clans can strategize, gather resources, and position their forces. Once active, clan wars transform the open world into a dynamic battlefield where members can freely engage in PvP combat without karma penalties or reputation loss. Victory conditions vary but typically involve achieving dominance through kills, territory control, or forcing the opposing clan to surrender. Successful clans not only gain substantial reputation points but also earn the respect of the server community. The true excitement comes from the unpredictable nature of these conflicts - from small skirmishes over hunting grounds to massive, server-spanning battles involving multiple clans and alliances. Wars can end through formal surrender, mutual agreement, or when one clan achieves decisive victory over the other.

War Mechanics

• Declaration requires Level 4+ clan
• 24-hour preparation period
• No penalty kills during war
• Reputation points gained from victories
• Strategic resource control
• Territory influence during conflict
• Multiple victory conditions
• Alliance involvement possibilities

Clan Skills

Clan skills represent one of the most powerful progression systems in Lineage 2, providing permanent passive benefits to all clan members. As clans advance in level, they unlock increasingly powerful abilities that affect everything from combat performance to resource gathering. These skills are purchased using clan reputation points and adena, representing a significant investment in the clan's future. The skill system is designed to reward active clans, with higher-level clans gaining access to more potent abilities that can dramatically influence both PvE and PvP gameplay. What makes clan skills particularly valuable is their multiplicative effect - when combined with individual character skills and buffs, they create a substantial advantage for organized clan members.

Clan Management

Effective clan management in Lineage 2 requires a delicate balance of social, economic, and military leadership. Successful clan leaders must navigate multiple responsibilities, from maintaining active membership and fostering a positive community atmosphere to managing resources and coordinating military operations. The management system is designed to distribute responsibilities through a hierarchical structure, allowing leaders to delegate tasks while maintaining overall control. This becomes increasingly crucial as clans grow in size and complexity, particularly when managing territory control, siege warfare, and alliance relationships. A well-managed clan not only provides its members with resources and protection but also creates opportunities for both individual and collective advancement through organized activities, strategic resource distribution, and coordinated military actions.
