Clan

Clans are groups of players associating themselves under a single name, similar to a team, but potentially on a much larger scale. A Fan Site Kit is available for download to help clans make their websites look legitimate. The Kit provides various WARFRAME-related renders, banners, images, and more.
==Advantages==
===Dojo===
The Dojo is only available to clans and provides a "home base" that can be utilized by any clan member. The Dojo also houses facilities necessary for Research and Trading.
===Research===
Research can be started and funded by clan members within the Dojo. This unlocks unique blueprints that cannot be acquired through other means, with the exception of purchasing items through the Market using Platinum.
===Trading===
Clans can construct Trading Posts within their Dojo to allow clan members to take advantage of the Trade System. This can also be done by holding Q to setup a shop in the Dojo.
===Dry Dock===
Members of a clan are able to access their clan's Dry Dock, being able to upgrade their Railjack, craft Railjack components and armaments, upgrade Avionics, and host their own Empyrean mission sessions.
==Joining / Creation==
Joining a clan is done by being invited to a clan and accepting the invite.
Clans can be created in the game by selecting the communication tab, then selecting "Clan", and within that, "Start your own clan". Your clan will be created after typing in an appropriate name.
If the user is the Founding Warlord of the clan, while in the "Communication", "Clan" menu, clicking on the username and select the option to leave will delete the clan.
==Clan Tier==
Clans are organized into several tiers, each of which grants a Clan a certain maximum amount of members and regulates inter-clan competition. At the same time, each tier has a direct impact on the cost of all items or research funded by the clan. This is done in an effort to keep gameplay fair according to the size of a clan.
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.
As of , clans can be downsized, which can be helpful if the player count of your clan is unable to easily contribute to Clan Research. Clans cannot be downsized while an in-game event is in progress. When a clan is downsized, there is a 60 day moratorium on clan ascension to a higher tier. 
The table below outlines each tier, the member capacity of each tier, and the Barracks required for each tier.
Clan Tier 	 	 	 	 	
Member Capacity 	10 	30 	100 	300 	1,000
Barracks Required 	(none)	Shadow Barracks	Storm Barracks	Mountain Barracks	Moon Barracks
Clan Tier Multiplier	x1 	x3 	x10 	x30 	x100
===Clan Tier Multiplier===
As mentioned in the Clan Tier section, each tier incurs additional costs for research, rooms, and decorations. This is done in order to balance gameplay, ensuring that clans with many active members don't rapidly outpace clans belonging to lower tiers. Overall, this results in balanced gameplay and ensures fair costs for each tier.
To aid in understanding and describing construction and research costs, the multiplier that determines the total cost for activities in a clan is referred to as the Clan Tier Multiplier, or just the Tier Multiplier. The cost values for each tier are calculated by taking the base cost for a Ghost clan and multiplying it by the given tier's Tier Multiplier, with the result representing the final cost for the given tier.
The list below displays examples of the scaling costs of each tier as a result of the Tier Multiplier mechanic. See #Clan Tier for the actual multiplier values for each clan tier.
* Ghost Tier - All research and funding costs are at the base level, as this tier has no multiplier.
* Shadow Tier - Required to pay credits to fund a project with a base cost of (3x multiplier).
* Storm Tier - Required to pay 6,000 to fund a project with a base cost of 600 (10x multiplier).
* Mountain Tier - Required to pay 19,500 to fund a project with a base cost of 650 (30x multiplier).
* Moon Tier - Required to pay 50,000 to fund a project with a base cost of 500 (100x multiplier).
Interestingly, it would appear that the in-game costs displayed to players are not the result of a live or real-time calculation that utilizes the Tier Multiplier. This can be observed when reviewing the cost of to fund Dojo rooms. In several instances, the first three clan tiers may require a single Forma each, with the last two jumping to much higher levels, such as Mountain requiring eight Forma and Moon requiring fifteen. Outside of Forma, however, the Tier Multiplier is observed to directly dictate all clan costs.
==Alliances==
Multiple clans with mutual interests can unite and form an alliance. An alliance can house a maximum of 4000 members, regardless of the number of clans. Clans in an alliance can share a Vault. 
==Hierarchy and Roles==
There are 8 positions available in a clan's hierarchy. These positions are not strictly seniority or levels of authority, but rather a set of "privileges" for a player within the clan. Players are assigned a position by anyone with the Promote role (up to their own position by default) or Regulator Role (top 2 by default) by clicking on the member in the clan view of the contacts window in-game. The clan Warlord is able to change the position names as of .
Clan creators will always start with the Founding Warlord position and will have all available roles assigned to them by default.
===Role Descriptions===
The table below provides descriptions of the capabilities each role provides clan members when assigned.

==Clan Emblem==
The Clan Emblem is a purchasable accessory that displays a holographic image of your clan's logo on your Warframe's shoulder. You can also add the Clan Emblem to the side of a Sentinel or Companion.
==Clan Listing==
There are millions of clans in Warframe. Some of them are listed on this wiki at :Category:Clan List.
==Clan Ranks==
As of , Clans have Ranks.
Clan Affinity will be awarded depending on the amount of effort expended towards bettering one’s Clan. This Clan Affinity will contribute to the Clan’s Rank and is awarded as follows:
*The first time you construct an Oracle Room, Bio Lab, Chem Lab, Energy Lab, Tenno Lab, Orokin Lab, Duelling Room, and Obstacle Course.
*The first time you construct a Trading Post, Treasury, and Temple of Honor.
*Upon completion of Clan Research.
The amount of Clan Affinity earned by building Rooms or Decorations is listed in their respective selection screens. Research entries have been given the same treatment within the Lab UI.
===Total Clan Affinity===
;Notes
*Solar Rail Construction was only possible prior to .
*Upgrades count includes Gravimag.
===Ascension Ceremony===
To increase in Rank, Clans will need to start the Ascension Ceremony at an Ascension Altar decoration. The number of clan members required to start the Ascension Ceremony increases with Clan Tier, but at a different rate than the standard scaling value; e.g. Ghost clans require only 1 member while Shadow clans require 5 members.
Once begun, the Ascension Ceremony runs for 72 hours. During this time, clan members that have been in the clan for at least a number of days equal to the rank being obtained (i.e. 1 day for rank 1, 7 days for rank 7) may interact with the Ascension Altar decoration in order to gain Endo relative to the change in Clan Rank (each Rank gained grants 1000 endo x new Rank). The clan members who start the ceremony gain this reward at the time they interact with the altar, even if there are not currently enough participating members to start the timer. If a clan goes up by two or more ranks during this event, players that claim the Endo reward will be given the amount for the rank being acquired, along with the Endo that would be awarded from previous ranks. For example, if a clan goes from rank 0 to rank 10 in a single ceremony, players can claim 55,000 Endo total, as that is the total of all previous rank rewards being added to the rank 10 reward.
Once the Ascension Ceremony ends the Ascension Altar will no longer be interactive and no Endo may be gained by clan members until the next Ascension Ceremony. As each Ascension Ceremony takes the Clan Rank to the maximum available to the clan rather than stepping through one Rank per Ascension Ceremony, it is recommended that those Clans reaching higher Ranks (current maximum of 11) in one Ascension Ceremony should ensure all members are aware of the time limit on collecting the reward before starting the Ascension Ceremony.
