Any clan with a citadel can now create, customise and deploy clan avatars. Summoned and controlled by designated avatar wardens within your clan, these living embodiments of your citadel can accompany you to the surface world and support your clan with an array of buffs. These buffs affect every eligible clan member within the avatar's aura of influence. Whether you're a clan of legendary warriors or a collective of shrewd artisans, your avatar has your back.

Combat-focused clans will benefit from buffs that heal over time, randomly resurrect fallen clan members and redirect damage taken by clan members to the avatar.In times of peace, your avatar can increase the resource yield from citadel skill plots, double the duration of Summoning familiars, and can offer a healthy XP boost for any skill training, even outside of your citadel. Depending on the tier of your citadel, an avatar can have up to three slots for equipping these buffs, so they can be tailored to any task at hand.

For an avatar to take up residence, you'll first need to build a habitat within your clan citadel. Here, clan members with the necessary permissions can designate buffs to an avatar. Other permissions can enable you to customise its appearance, choosing from four styles for each of its nine components. Your clan logo and colours will also be proudly displayed on your avatar's body, so no two avatars need ever look the same.

Habitats come in three varieties, each with its own resource requirement:

Basic: 3,000 timber.
Medium: 30,000 timber, 30,000 precious bars.
Grand: 30,000 timber, 30,000 precious bars, 30,000 rations.
The basic habitat houses one avatar, while the medium habitat holds two and the grand habitat three, so the extra investment is well worth it. While your clan can only summon one avatar at a time, you'll have up to three avatars ready and waiting to assist, whatever the situation.

To benefit from the clan avatar's buffs, each individual will need to pay 300 anagogic orts to the avatar, which will buy a week's access to its clan-boosting benefits. These items are non-tradable, but they can be gathered as drops from monsters throughout RuneScape, as well as during skill training - so long as you're a member of a clan. These are also used to heal your avatar when it takes damage in combat, so be sure to stock up if you're taking a clan avatar into multi-way combat or PvP!

Gather your resources, muster your clan mates and summon your new secret weapon. Your clan just got a whole lot bigger.

Getting Started with Clan Avatars:

See the Captain of the Guard at the clan camp for full details of how to build, maintain and use your clan avatar.

Requirements

To build a clan avatar, or benefit from its buffs, you must be a member.
You must be part of a clan which owns a clan citadel.
Your citadels must include a clan avatar habitat.
You must pay fee of 300 anagogic orts to benefit from clan avatar buffs. This earns you a week's access to buff from avatars owned by your clan. These are non-tradable, and can be gathered from monster drops and skill training.

Omg! A wild news post appeared.

Not much interested in clan updates, but should be interesting how clans put their avatars to use.

Not very interested either, clans are over rated IMO =/.

FYI: Not much of a secret weapon when you make a news post about it and every clan has one

Not very interesting, the time could be spent improving other aspects of the game.

Another not interested in clans. But what is the bonus you get - I think I read somewhere 3%, is that right?

I wasn't interested in clans either until my mate encouraged me to join hers. Loving it now. The avatars are just a bonus, literally. I'm getting spoiled seeing the 3 to 6 percent xp bonus show up with almost everything I do.

Also nice to be part of a community that participates, which unfortunately the RSBandB clan wasnt able to achieve. We work together on everything, whether it be spotting stars, taking down evil trees, or using the duel slayer.

I guess the view I used to have about clans was that it was mostly for pkers, but I joined one that doesn't care for pking.

Right, TheLyon. It's just like any other aspect of the game. A lot of people don't like PKing. Does that mean people should say "They shouldn't make PKing updates and spend time on other parts of the game"?

They are going to make niche updates. Sorry. The avatar is flawed, but it still is a great perk for those who are in clans. A lot of it is, as TheLyon said, people having the wrong idea about what clans are or do, though I've given that rant before. All I can say is that if you are interested or don't know much about clans and would like to, give them a try. Finding the right one for you is important, so do some research first. You might just find a clan that suits you perfectly. Good for you for finding that one, TheLyon. :)

I understand that, lately, JaGex seem to be pushing clans again, but this seems almost more of a burden than a blessing...
