Getting Started (Selecting a skill)


Idle Clans is a multiplayer game that mixes elements from classic MMORPGs with simplified gameplay. In the game, you can choose from 11 skills to train, such as File:Combat.PNG combat, Crafting.png crafting, Woodcutting.png woodcutting, Fishing.png fishing, Mining.PNG mining, and more. Premium permanent.png Premium members have access to a few additional skills: Enchanting.png enchanting, Farming.png farming, and Agility.png agility. When starting the game, it's recommended to choose a couple skills that complement each other to focus on. For example, you can start with Mining.PNG mining to gather ores, then use Smithing.png smithing to turn them into Steel bar.png bars and then into items such as Steel platebody.png armor, Steel shield.PNG shields, or Silver earrings.png jewelry. Other skill combinations include Foraging.png foraging and Crafting.png crafting, Fishing.png fishing and Cooking.png cooking, or Woodcutting.png woodcutting and File:Carpentry.PNG carpentry. Idle Clans allows you to select a skill and go offline while the game continues to work on that skill for up to 12 hours, as long as you have the necessary resources. As a beginner, it's recommended to leave a gathering skill (Mining.PNG mining, Woodcutting.png woodcutting, Fishing.png fishing, or Foraging.png foraging) going while you're AFK. These skills don't require any resources, so you can continue skilling for the entire 12 hours without running out of resources and halting your progress. (Offline progress cap can be increased via the Upgrade dealership in the Local market.)

Making Money (Using The Player Shops)


When you click on an item in your inventory, you'll see its sell value listed. This is the amount of gold you can sell to an NPC. However, it's not recommended to sell all your hard-earned resources and items to NPCs right away. Instead, check the player shops section first. For example, let's say you have 100Coal ore.pngcoal, which has an NPC sell value of 11 Gold.png gold per piece. If you were to sell it directly to an NPC, you would make 1100 Gold.png gold. However, if you search forCoal ore.pngcoal in the player shops, you may find that the lowest selling price is 110 Gold.png gold per piece. By selling yourCoal ore.pngcoal on the player market, you could make upwards of 11000 Gold.png gold, which is 10 times as much profit as selling to an NPC!

Pro Tip: Coal ore.pngCoal is a great resource for beginner players to make a good chunk of Gold.png gold quickly. It can be unlocked very quickly (at mining level 30) and is used in high quantities in many high-level smithing crafts (notably Astronomical bar.pngAstronomical bars), so it usually sells quickly on the player market. Remember to check player shops before selling your items to NPCs to maximize your profit.

Upgrades (Local Market)


Once you've selected a skill and started earning some gold, the next thing to look at is the local shop. For beginners, you'll probably be spending a lot of time in the "Upgrade Dealership" section. Here, you can find upgrades for your player, such as increased offline skilling time, additional storage, and housing (starting with a cardboard box - we all have to start somewhere, right?). The Upgrade Dealership also offers other upgrades for skills and combat. These upgrades can help you progress faster, earn more gold, and become more powerful in combat. Some upgrades may require a certain skill level or amount of gold to purchase, so make sure to check the requirements before making a purchase. A common starting point would be to save up your first 100,000 gold and buy the cardboard box, as this will give you a +5% XP boost for all skills, it may seem small at first, but as you progress in the game it can stack with other boosts to make a huge difference.

Joining a Clan



Joining a clan in Idle Clans is highly recommended as it can provide many benefits to your gameplay experience. When you join a clan, you can interact with other players, participate in clan quests, and receive bonuses like additional skill speed boosts. To find a clan, you can use the in-game chat interface to search for one or join the Idle Clans Discord server and find a clan there. Once you're part of a clan, be sure to engage with other members and work together to achieve your goals!
