Greetings everyone, short story: Clan citadel is currently locked down because past week we don't have 5+ visitors visited our clan citadel. As a deputy owner of this clan (Bonded). I am in panic mode. This is 2nd time (if not more) this happened. The last time this happened was when we had highest tier citadel, leader back in the time handed the clan to an inactive user. Almost 75% active clanmates raged and left clans.

Longer story:
I joined this clan called Bonded back in 2011 (after fact checked online It's created at 2012? how strange) when I was a loner in game most of the time. At the time the clan was thriving with chats and lots of group activities, I love the time when we all congratulating each other when someone announced they have leveled up. And those time clanmates gathering together for PvM actions.

This clan means a lot to me, but as a Runescape player. I saw it at prime time, at lowest time, at struggling time, at reviving months, new blood, new PvM moments, then now this? It's upsetting people care but not enough to help citadel. What I should do to gather 5 Bonded clanmates who care at the same time? I don't want to witness it collapsed into Tier 1 citadel... please no, I am worried.

The way I love most when I play this game is as a single player sandbox game, with some casual interaction among other players.

(updates: I looked at RuneClan Bonded citadel stats, It's upset to see it is now tier 3, maybe time to let go of previous struggles and rebuild all over again)

Hi Envyhero,

I'm sorry to hear of your struggles, and hope you can get back to your former glory. But you are right, if its too much of a worry then let it go and don't think about it. You can always rebuild at a later time.

If you want to keep it going then I would work on not allowing it to degrade further rather than worrying on building it up. Make sure that clan mates know that they need to visit to keep what they have. Mention since the clan update that capping could take no more than 10 minutes of their time, and explain the benefits that capping, and having a citadel gives. Try to get 5 people to go together and have a capping party, perhaps reward people who help with rank or other recognition.

Ask clannies what they would like to do, their vision for the clans future, don't take the responsibility all yourself. there may be others in clan who feel the same way- get input from everyone and make them involved. Explain the situation to them and ask for their help

Best of luck !

Hi Envyhero,

Kera left a great response, but I just have one thing I'd like to add.

You mentioned your clan has trouble meeting the weekly visitor requirement, so make sure to inform your clan members to visit the Citadel weekly in order to activate their XP boost from the Avatar Habitat. All they need to do is attune to the Avatar through the control stone by the habitat, and that's it. It's a win-win for your Citadel getting visitors (and potentially resources) and your clan members getting an XP boost.

That XP boost has a base of 3% for everyone, and it increases by 1% with each fealty rank up to a maximum of 6%. So, someone who meets the resource gathering requirement for fealty for a minimum of three consecutive weeks will be able to have a 6% XP boost active for an entire week. Once the boost expires, it just needs to be reactivated at the stone.

Maybe this is something that could encourage your clan members to make use of the Citadel.

Best of luck, ~ Sicariu
