I went back and researched this topic and it had been brought up over a year ago (with no real conclusion), and in discussion with clan mates today I thought I'd make a suggestion here.

Personally, Clan Avatars are a pain to have as a pet/familiar/follower. When you have so much more to gain from having a yak/lava titan/granite lobster/legendary pet etc. With the new skilling pets/boss pets update making them possible overrides would it be possible to have the Avatar, and the buff, as an override and still be able to use your summoning familiar like normal? If this is not possible is there a way to this skilling buff added to another clan item? Clan rings, Clan Vexillum, etc.

This would solve the problem with my clan, and I'm sure many others, keep the skilling buff out long enough to meet the demand of our clan members.

Cheers

For me personally I would scrap the avatar system all together

I would have an item for the buff like you say so that people can personally use themselves instead of relying on admins to congregate in certain locations.

So I understand that the avatar buff itself was used as an incentive to bring people together into clans and have them congregate in the same worlds as their clan mates. This strengthens the community as a whole.

What I would like to see, is the buff removed from the follower and put onto another item that could be created entirely for the purpose of this buff. Thought about this for most of yesterday, and came up with a new item (magical Stone??) put into the pocket slot (that personally I rarely use while skilling, but may hinder the use of porters) which admins can get from the quartermaster at the Clan Citadel. All the other game mechanics would stay the same, use of orts, selection of buffs (an option from getting the stone from the quarrymaster), as well as the limit of 3 buffs per clan and 1 buff per world. This way people can still summon familiars, get the 6% proximity for themselves or other nearby clan mates, and still keeps in place some of the old system.

Thoughts?

No support of this at all:

1: by removing avatar system your saying that citadels will eventually fall because right now the avatars do make a difference on capping resources for the clan. and in return if being removed then citadels will fall, clans will fall, and rs well slowly die off.

2: clan avatar system has to stay, as to what to help make it better i dont know atm.

I agree with this, there are many clans as well that highlight Avatar availability as a selling point. Not to mention they are kind of like a special clan only pet, and skies forbid ANYTHING be clan exclusive....This is one of the few things that are.

No one is saying remove the buffs from clans

Also the avatar has actually been the downfall of a lot of clans.

This is not what I am suggesting at all. I am suggesting that the buffs are removed off the follower (the avatar) and added onto another clan exclusive item. A Jmod hasn't chimed in and I don't even know if this would be possible.

As I said in the previous posts, there are many more individually better followers to have instead of the avatar. Making this buff, while beneficial to the entirety of the clan, an inconvenience to the person actually holding that avatar.

I agree. Dont fix what isn't broke. Avatars are selling points to get members in that want to part of that. They also aid is in citadel work if need be.

If possible yes, but I believe this was not possible or a lot of work as simular suggestions have been posted many times.

Correct me if I am wrong but I assume this requires a rework of the 'clan data' which is a project larger as 'Elf City'. Making it very time consuming and at the cost of other projects. Ceecs - leader of Ceecs Clan
