Clans

Clans are player-made groups of up to 15 members.

## Starting a clan

To start a clan, the player must be at least level 3 and have constructed the Clan HQ on the Home Island. Starting a clan costs 1000 coins . Once a clan has been created, the clan leader set a description for the clan, select a clan logo, and provide a Discord link for members. The clan leader can also promote other members to co-leaders, who can help manage the clan, update clan details and start clan challenges.

## Market

The market is a place where clan members can request or donate wood . It is possible to request one wood every 7 hours. This is a useful way to collect more wood required for building amenities on the Home Island, particularly for newer players.

## Clan Challenges

Clans can participate in clan challenges, in which they battle against another clan for rewards. At least 10 members need to be part of a clan before clan challenges can be unlocked.

To participate in a clan challenge, the leader or co-leader need to activate the clan challenge, following which the game will search for a rival clan also seeking out a clan challenge. If a rival clan is found, the clan challenge will begin in 30 minutes. If no clan is found, the search will end after two hours, and the leader or co-leader would need to initiate the search again.

Once a clan challenge has begun, clan members have a set duration (usually 4 or 8 hours depending on the type of challenge) to obtain as high scores as possible. Only the top ten scores count towards the total score. There are four consecutive goals that the clans can collectively achieve - the first clan to achieve either of these four goals receives rewards in the form of coins  and gems . Additionally, the clan member with the highest score from each clan will also receive an additional reward, usually some coins , gems  or temporary luck (clover).

## Clan Leagues

Clans can earn clan trophies  by winning clan challenges. Winning a clan challenge awards clans with 5 trophies, whereas losing a challenge results in the clan losing 3 trophies.

### League advancement

Clans can earn various badges upon acquiring a certain number of trophies, following which they compete with clans vying for the next league.

### Best clan of the month

Clans with the most trophies at the end of each month receive a 'Best clan of the month' badge.

## Clan Rankings

Each clan has a clan score, which represents the total of the scores of all 15 clan members. Clan scores are used to determine clan rankings. Clan rankings reset each month along with season rankings.

## Notes

* Following patch 1.83 (on 4 September 2023), score challenge requirements were updated from 2000/5000/9000/15000 fish points to 3000/6000/9000/15000 fish points.
* At some point, Blue Lingcod was replace with Spiny Skate in the Alaska clan challenge as Blue Lingcod is a day-only fish.
