Going Pking With A Clan

Clan Pking, a great way to make new friends and get good loot. PVP Clan Wars are probably the best things about pking clans. However, PVP clans are also dangerous places, people can turn on you in the blink of an eye (Bsers or back stabbers) and kill you if they are frustrated about not getting kills or loot. This guide was written to prepare you for the dangers of PVP Clans

Rule 1 (Picking The Clan)
When picking a clan, pick one with a good reputation for being fair and will not kill you. Even if you join one of these clans, still remain wary of potential bsers. The safest clans are ones where you know the clan members in either real life, or have known for some time.

If you are a clan leader attempting to build up your clan, do not advertise your clan in the world by spamming. Instead, go to the Runescape Forums or other forums and try and find people there. If you are lazy, another way is to go around that pvp world, and ask people if they wish to join your clan. This way, you can pick people who are not likely to kill you or turn against your clan.

Rule 2 (Roles)
A good PVP clan needs to be organized. Many a huge clan have been wiped out by a smaller clan in a clan war, because the smaller clan used tactics and roles, rather than a piling everyone they see. Below are some roles that some clans use:

Porters
These guys are generally 1 itemers that go around carrying food and potions for the rest of their clan. They fill their inventory with food, and give it to clan members when they need them. When out of food, they run to the bank and get more. However, if you are one of these guys, you won't get much loot, so ask your clan leader for a share of the loot.

Binders/ Freezers/ Teleblockers
These guys work around the clock in a clan war. They stop enemies from teleporting or running away in a fight, allowing the rest of the clan to kill the enemy. These guys are generally mages, however, i find hybrids the most suitable for this role, because after freezing an enemy they can join the fray themselves.

Tankers
The Tanker charges first into a battle, wearing the best armour possible and carrying the highest healing foods and prayer potions. His job is to take most of the damage, while the rest of the clan encircle the enemy and kill them off. These guys need serious defence and hitpoint levels.

Scouts/ Lurers
These guys are generally ordinary clan members who wear weight reducing, anti magic armour, because they need to run a lot. Their job is to scout the area ahead of the main body of the clan for enemies or possible ambushes. On the other hand, these guys can also work as lures to lure enemies into ambushes. They require weight reducing armour and lots of food.

Rule 3 (Tactics)
If you are a clan leader, one must study Runescape PVP tactics, such as hiding, luring etc. Tactics are what changes the course of a battle. Brute force can not always win you wars.

Death Dot
A Death Dot is where all the clan members stand on a single spot, so it looks like there is only one person (Must be in a multi zone). A lurer goes and lures the enemy to the clans position. When the enemy look at their minimap, all they will see is a single dot and think "Oh, one dot, nothing to worry about". When they get close, your clan jumps out and massacres them!

Bone Brooches/ Ring of stone
Any thing that allows you to transform into something is always useful. The reward for the 2010 halloween event, the bone brooch, transforms you into a pile of bones. Many people are careless and do not watch the minimap and will not see your dot. All they will see is a pile of bones on the screen. When they get close enough, you unmorph and kill them
