A clan wars guide

[Thegpguild2]

Ok, so this is the first real topic i'll ever make and i don't want anyone putting this down as a bad guide. This will show a few things such as the basics of war and a few advanced things i know about wars.

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~BASICS~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So, first off you need to have a clan, which you can join by pressing the button next to your ignore list and then choosing join clan. You then just put in the name of the owner of the clan and you're in. NOTE: Clans can only war in the clan wars area which is located in the wilderness where you can be killed. Only 3 ranks are alloud to start wars the Leader (of course), the Generals or sometimes known as warlords, and the Captains. When you want to start a war you right click on a person in another clan that is 1 of the 3 ranks and select challenge. You then have a screen show up with certain amounts of options. First there is the option to set the gametype to the default (knockout) in which you cannot rejoin a game after you die or have it set to a score which you reach for every kill. You can also time the game. To win a game with a score you must kill the other clan until you reach the amount of kills shown at the top right corner of the screen or you kill the whole team before they can re-enter. Next is the least used option, items. You can set the items to either keep on death or lose your items when you die. When the option items are kept on death is active you will NOT lose anything when you die. There are also the options active during war such as melee on or food off. You can have wars that are melee only with no prayer, spells, food, ranged, summoning, potions or other combat based things. You also get to choose the map type you will play on. I can't go to much detail on the maps without ruining the fun for everybody that hasn't played in clan was and im too lazy to play them all :P but I will give some detail on them later. When the war begins you will start at a portal to the north or south of the arena. can stay there or go to the middle where a barrier is blocking your way to the other side where the enemy team is. When 2 minutes are up the war will begin and the barrier will disappear for you to attack the other team.

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~DEFINITIONS~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When your in the war you need to know what your warlord or leader is telling you.

 

Fall/Falls - Follow the leader or warlord that is saying this.

 

Death dot / DD - Everybody at the war stand in 1 spot so there is only 1 dot on the minimap.

 

All in - Everybody in the clan enter the portal for war.

 

Pile - Everybody attack a certain person.

 

Tank - A player with good defense, prayer, and food that distracts the enemy team while the rest kills people.

 

Sniper - A player that kills mages and other snipers.

 

Binder - A player that binds the enemy that is being piled.

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~EQUIPMENT~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Equipment is a very important part of winning a clan war. I will only tell you what F2P clans would use for equipment as i am an F2P player.

 

@#@#@TANKS@#@#@

Full rune armour, Amulet of Power, Leather Boots, Leather Gloves/Rune Gauntlets/Green D'Hide Vambraces, and a Team Cape.

Food should be either Swordfish or Anchovy Pizza.

DO NOT USE FANCY/FIGHTING BOOTS OR SAFETY GLOVES THESE LOWER DEFENSE AGAINST MAGE AND LOWER ATTACK IN MAGE AND RANGE.

 

@#@#@SNIPER@#@#@

Rune full helm, Green D'hide Body, Rune Platelegs, Arrow type of your choice, Maple Shortbow/Longbow, Amulet of Power/Amulet of Accuracy, Leather Boots, Leather Vambraces/Green D'hide Vambraces, and a Team Cape.

DO NOT USE FANCY/FIGHTING BOOTS OR SAFETY GLOVES THESE LOWER DEFENSE AGAINST MAGE AND LOWER ATTACK IN MAGE AND RANGE.

 

@#@#@BINDER@#@#@

Full druidic robes, runes to cast bind, staff of your choice, Anti Dragonfire Shield, Leather Boots, Leather Gloves, and a Team Cape.

Food should be the same as a tank because you will take much more damage.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~MAP DETAILS~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

@#@#@CLASSIC@#@#@

This terrain is from the old clan wars, which was the one and only terrain you could choose from. It has lava pits, dead trees and a dull, erie sense about it. It is quite large.

 

@#@#@BLASTED FOREST@#@#@

This terrain is covered in dead trees, making it difficult to follow your opponents. There isn't much else to see. It is fairly normal in size.

 

@#@#@BARREN PLAINS@#@#@

This is by far the easiest terrain, although, it give no help to rangers or mages whatsoever. There are barely any obstacles, and it is fairly normal/small.

 

@#@#@FORSAKEN QUARRY@#@#@

This terrain is an abandoned mine, complete with stray ores scattered among the dirt. It is normal in size.

 

@#@#@TURRETS@#@#@

This terrain is worthy for a real battle, considering all the Turrets and passageways. This is by far the biggest terrain.

 

NOTICE: I did not go into much detail like i said i wouldn't because it would ruin the experience for new players.

Could add some pics/more info etc. Colors/format it a lil better.

 

I use fighting boots/fancy boots when i'm range/melee for def bonus It doesn't effect my range status that much anywayz. But if you bind leather boots would be a wiser choice.

[The Observer]

It could use some pictures as Dandaman suggested. Also for the first part, those who can accept wars are different from clan to clan, however most commonly it is the Warlord and Leader who can accept them.

Seike made the best guide that I've ever read about Clan Wars Arena fighting, but I won't be allowed to leak its contents. :(

 

Nice guide.

Not a bad guide at all, of course I can't post the guide I made either. :P

[subzerodragon]

Okay guide for knowing the basics. Should definitely add pictures of equipment and inventory setup.
