Event Details



Event Rules

The Clan Cup is here! With registration opening on Monday and the competition starting on December 4th, we would like to fill you in on all of the details of the Clan Cup 2015.This year there will be seven PvP cups for clans to compete in; All-Out Cup, 10 vs 10 Cup, 20 vs 20 Cup, 30 vs 30 Cup and Pure Cup.. There will also be a F2P All-Out cup and F2P 30vs30 Cup.The All-Out Cup is what it says on the tin, it is an all-out battle and you can bring as many people as you can pull. This Cup will highlight those clans with really active players who know how to fight in large groups.The Pure Cup is the same as the All-Out Cup, but Defence-noobs are not allowed. All participating clan members must be 30 Defence or lower.The 10 vs 10, 20 vs 20 and 30 vs 30 Cups are all fairly self-explanatory. The same rules apply as with the All-Out Cup but with limits on the number of clan members that can take part in wars.Any events taking place within the PvM cup will be held at the PvM Arena.The PvM Arena will be a safe area in which different boss monsters will be spawned every 15 seconds (or once a previous boss has been killed) up to a limit of 3 at once. Clan leaders will be able to access the PvM Arena and bring in their clans between the times of 8pm GMT Friday and 10pm GMT Sunday.The Head-to-Head Cup is a battle between two clans to achieve the most boss kills inside the PvM arena within an hour. At the end of the hour, the clan with the most kills takes the win.The Skilling Cup will allow skilling clans to test their total levels against each other. Each week a different skill will be chosen and clans are tasked with achieving the most efficient hour possible within that week. Using the data warehouse, we will take the experience earned in the most efficient hour in that skill from your top 5 performing clan members and will add it up. Each week the clan with the most experience earned within those top 5 hours will take the win.These rules apply throughout all cups.1. Event time and world
