I had an idea for a clan challenge system to go alongside the proposed idea for a Clan Camp renovation posted in the Clan Leader Discord, similar in nature to daily challenges or reaper tasks. After presenting the basics of my idea with a friend, they mentioned a similar idea had previously been presented here in CLF (Clan Citadel daily challenges!) so I decided to track down that idea to see what it entailed.

The idea I have wouldn't be for individual challenges but rather would focus on activities that require team effort. This would bring clan members together to complete a challenge while encouraging socialization and teamwork toward a common goal.

There are details to mesh out, but these are the basics I came up with.

Challenges could be issued by the Captain of the Guard* in the clan camp. Quite possibly a choice of 2 categories: skilling or combat, to cater to a couple of clan types.

There would be no time limit as Daily Challenges have, but would be open ended, like Reaper Tasks.

Each clan member could only contribute a set amount or percentage to the task daily. So if a clan challenge were i.e. to cut 1000 logs, perhaps each member would be limited to doing up to 10%, or 100 per day. Various logs could be cut from different trees according to each clan member's ability, without restricting it to specifically magic logs, for instance. This would allow smaller clans to still complete the task, though it might take longer as the same members would need to work at it over several days, while larger clans might complete it sooner with more active participants.

The number of Clan Challenges available wouldn't need to be as diverse as individual Daily Challenges. A few simple challenges but with a higher quota required to fill. Resources turned in could be used for clan camp "improvements" (in relation to another idea presented in the CLD), or used to mete out rewards for the challenge.

Please feel free to throw in some ideas for team challenges you might like to see in this type of system.

Also, the primary thing I'm lacking for this idea would be rewards. Individual rewards of supplies/gp/xp could still be possible for those participating in the challenge, but could we somehow incorporate a reward that would benefit the clan itself? If so, I'm not sure what that would be, so your input would be very much appreciated.

Keeping in mind this system would be for all clans, I don't want the clan reward to be citadel based.

Another possible idea for clan teamwork, with or without daily challenges, could be something akin to what was offered with the Explorer's Aura in 2015, except for a group instance rather than an individual one. Not sure about the mechanics of getting it set up or added to game, though.

"Once activated, the aura will direct a player to a portal a short distance away leading the player to a cave full of valuable monsters or resources, depending on the player's choice when activated."

In this case the portal could be activated by a "key" given by the Captain ofthe Guard when issuing the challenge. The key could be the clan name or any passcode which the leader can share with the clan for anyone to access the portal, or maybe the leader has to enter with members of his/her clan to start the challenge.

Ideas for a reward might include a statue in the clan camp.

Currently we can choose a god statue to sculpt in 5 locations, we can build a Dahmaroc statue piece by piece in our POH, we can toggle a choice of statue east of Rellekka. It seems there should be some way to get a statue built by clannies.

This statue could be built piece by piece, each member contributing to a clan challenge to receive a piece, so those not participating wouldn't be able to see the statue at all.

My first thought would be to build a replica of the citadel keep, or a castle perhaps, but I'm just tossing ideas around right now. Still looking for ideas on group rewards of a clan challenge system.

I've been doing a little more thinking on this.

"perhaps each member would be limited to doing up to 10%, or 100 per day " 20% of total challenge.

-- Reason for change: a clan needs a minimum of 5 members to exist. It seems appropriate to allow smaller clans the same opportunity to complete the challenges as larger ones.


-- Also, perhaps this could be made into a type of triathlon or decathlon, allowing a full week for each clan to complete, so no clan is restricted if certain members can only log in certain days of the week. In that case it may become more of a weekly D&D event for clans.


-- Statistics for best times or most resources gathered in a time limit for each clan could be posted on a noticeboard in the clan camp, similar to Balthazar Beauregard's Big Top Bonanza scoreboard, which displays the last 50 scores obtained by players (different for each world).


-- Still looking for input on rewards . . .
