Boosting a clan

A paying Champion or Patron can put a boost on a clan they are a member of. Enough boosts from a clan’s members raise it a level, and each level changes how the clan looks and where it is listed. Boosts are looks only: they never change a rank, a score, a seat or the clan’s plan.

Step 1

Who has boosts

#

Boosts come with a paid membership:

Champion1 boost.
Patron2 boosts.
Supporternone. Neither does time earned through invites. A temporary upgrade from Anvil staff gives slots only when staff include them.

Boosts belong to you, not to a character: three characters in three clans still share one set. Settings → Clan boosts only appears in your settings while you are a Supporter or still have a boost placed.

Step 2

Placing and moving a boost

#

You place your own boosts; nobody can place one for you.

  1. Open Settings → Clan boosts. Your boosts lists what you have placed and any Free slot.
  2. Under Clans you can boost, press Boost beside a clan. You can also press Boost this clan in the Boosters section of the clan’s own page.
  3. To move one, use Move to… on its row and pick another clan. Remove takes it off.
A member seat, 14 days oldeach boost rides on a member seat one of your characters holds in the in-game clan. A guest seat cannot carry one. The seat counts from whichever is earlier: when Anvil first saw it, or when the game says the character joined. Until then the clan’s row says how many days are left.
One row per clanthe list shows each clan once, and Anvil picks the character the boost rides on: your main where it can, otherwise the longest-held seat. The clan sees that character only, never your other ones.
Once a weeka placed boost can move 7 days after you placed it. A removed boost’s slot opens again on the same date, so removing and placing again is no shortcut. If the character it rode on left the clan, you can move it at once.
What the labels mean

counting: it counts toward the clan’s level. paused: your tier now has fewer slots than you placed, so your oldest boosts keep counting and the rest wait. seat gone: the character it rode on is no longer a member there; move it. over the 2-per-person cap: the clan already counts two of yours.

Step 3

Levels

#

A clan’s level comes from its counted boosts. At most two boosts from any one person count toward one clan, so a level always means several members chose it.

Level 13 counted boosts.
Level 28 counted boosts.
Level 315 counted boosts.

Members see the progress on the clan’s page, for example “5 of 8 to Level 2”. A clan that rises gets the new level at once.

A week of grace

When boosts fall below a level, the clan keeps that level’s perks for 7 days. Admin → Clan settings → Boosts shows when they end. If members boost it back in time, nothing changes.

Step 4

What each level unlocks

#

Each level keeps everything from the one below.

Level 1a Boosted badge on the clan page, its Clan Hall card and in search; a place above unboosted clans in the Clan Hall and its search results; and the clan name in a gradient.
Level 2a spot in the Clan Hall’s Featured row; the clan’s animated banner plays (below Level 2 it shows its still frame); a recruiting line for visitors; and the name’s gradient moves.
Level 3the Spotlight at the very top of the Clan Hall, and one recruitment post a month in the Anvil Discord, written by the clan.
The clan logo is not a perk

An animated logo (a GIF or WebP clan image) plays at any level. Only the banner waits for Level 2.

Step 5

The clan’s name colours

#

From Level 1 the clan’s name wears Anvil’s gradient. Owners and admins can choose their own under Admin → Clan settings → Boosts → Clan name colours:

One to four coloursone colour is a static name; two to four make a gradient. From Level 2 a gradient moves.
Dark and light backgroundsas with Supporter names, Anvil adjusts the colours to stay readable on dark backgrounds (the site, the plugin panel, Discord) and light ones (the game’s solid chatbox). Switch on a separate look for either and it is shown exactly as chosen.
Reset to Anvilgoes back to Anvil’s palette.

The colours stay saved if the clan drops below Level 1, and come back when it returns. The plugin picks up a change on its next refresh.

Step 6

For clan staff

#

Admin → Clan settings → Boosts is for owners and admins. Staff cannot place boosts for members; members place their own.

The levelthe clan’s level, how many boosts are counting, how many more reach the next level, and any grace week.
Recruiting lineLevel 2. One sentence, up to 140 characters, shown to people who are not in the clan on your clan page and Clan Hall card.
Recruitment post in the Anvil DiscordLevel 3. Once a calendar month, 20 to 500 characters, written by you and posted when you press Post it, with a link to your clan page. Mentions are removed and nobody is pinged. You can’t edit it or send another until next month.
Boostersthe list of characters boosting the clan.
Gifted boosts from Anvil

Anvil staff can gift a clan a level, for a set time or with no end. The gift adds only the boosts the clan is missing to reach that level, shown as Anvil gift on the clan’s Boosters list. Each real boost from a member replaces one gifted boost, and a clan already above the gifted level keeps its own. When the gift ends, the clan falls back to the level its members’ boosts give it.

Step 7

Booster marks and badges

#

What a booster gets in the clan they boost:

The Booster marka small gem beside their character in that clan’s roster, feed and Discord posts. Hover it for “Boosts this clan”.
The Boosters wallon the clan page: one row per character, most boosts first, then the longest standing.
BadgesFirst booster for whoever placed the clan’s first boost ever; 1 month, 3 months, 6 months and 1 year of boosting without a break; and Level-up 1, 2 or 3 for the boost that lifted the clan to that level.
Moving starts the clock again

Badges for time count from the character’s earliest boost that is still counting, so moving or removing a boost starts them over. Your profile lists the clans you boost, once per clan.

Members place boosts under Settings → Clan boosts. Clan staff see the level and its options under Admin → Clan settings → Boosts. For the tiers themselves, see Anvil Supporter: tiers and perks. Money questions: Refunds and Terms.
