Start a clan

You need a Discord account, and that is the whole list. Sign in on anvilosrs.com first: a clan needs an owner, and signing in is how the site knows that is you. Start from Start a clan on the platform pages, or go straight to anvilosrs.com/clans/new.

It costs nothing. There is no plan to pick, no card to enter, and no trial that expires and takes your board with it — a clan starts free and stays usable.

Big clans can move up a plan later from Plan and billing in Admin. Everything you pay for on Anvil — a clan, a creator space or your own Supporter membership — is on your billing page.

Three fields, and only two real decisions. The form checks the address as you type and tells you before you submit.

Press Create clan and it exists. No provisioning, no queue, no “we are building your site, check back in a few minutes” — a clan is a row, so it is serving before the page finishes changing.

You land on a choice of Set it up, which opens the wizard, or Take a look first. Nothing breaks if you wander off and come back tomorrow; the wizard remembers which steps you have done.

Three steps stand between a fresh clan and a running event, and the wizard walks them in order, skipping whatever you have already done. The board comes straight after.

You can skip the wizard entirely with Skip setup and do all of it later from Admin → Clan settings and Admin → Discord. It exists because the order matters when you have never done it: Discord before channels, members before a board they need to sign up for.

Nobody has to sign up, register, or be invited one at a time. Your roster comes from the game.

The shortest path to something happening: make a board, add a handful of tiles the plugin can see by itself, open sign-ups, and start it. Drops, kill counts and XP then file themselves.

Two guides carry the weight here. Running your first event runs start to finish — Discord, teams, launching, and what to do when it ends. Building a board that tracks itself is about tiles specifically: what each kind can actually detect, and the ones that import cleanly and then never fire.

If you would rather not build a board at all in your first week, run a Skill of the Week or Boss of the Week instead. Everyone on the roster is enrolled automatically, the standings move off the hiscores, and there is nothing to author.

An event does not have to belong to one clan. Several clans can run the same board together — two, or a dozen — with each side keeping its own roster, its own staff and its own half of the moderation.

They can also share one pool of players rather than sitting on opposite sides of a scoreboard: one event, everybody in it, however the teams end up cut. Clan-versus-clan is one shape this takes, not the only one.

Each visiting clan gets an invite link per team, so you never collect a single RSN by hand, and a seat that lets their own moderator approve their own members’ proof. Hosting a visiting clan covers hosting one.

Members who pay for Anvil Supporter at Champion (one boost) or Patron (two) can boost the clan from their own Settings → Clan boosts. A boost counts once their seat in the clan is 14 days old, and no more than two count from one person.

You see where you stand on Admin → Clan settings → Boosts: the clan’s level, how many boosts are counting and how many more the next level needs. Level 1 takes 3 boosts, Level 2 takes 8 and Level 3 takes 15. If boosts fall below a level, its perks stay for a week first.

Level 1 puts a Boosted badge on your clan page, Clan Hall card and in search, lists you above unboosted clans in the Clan Hall and gives your name a gradient. Level 2 adds a spot in the Clan Hall’s Featured row, plays your animated banner and unlocks a Recruiting line: one sentence, up to 140 characters, shown to visitors. Level 3 adds a Spotlight at the top of the Clan Hall and one Recruitment post in the Anvil Discord a month, up to 500 characters, sent once with Post to the Anvil Discord, with a link to your clan page and nobody pinged.

Admins can switch whole parts of Anvil on or off under Features. Off hides them from the menus; nothing is deleted.

Plan and billing shows your plan, how many members you have against its size, and the bigger plans. If you pay, Manage subscription and invoices is there too.
