Everything You Need to Know About Warframe Clan Ranks

What is a Clan Rank/Tier?

A Clan’s rank, or tier, signifies its maximum membership capacity. Different tiers correspond to different member limits, impacting resource gathering and research costs. Currently, there are five tiers: Ghost (10 members), Shadow (30), Storm (100), Mountain (300), and Moon (1000). Each tier upgrade requires significant resources for construction.

How do I upgrade my Clan Rank/Tier?

Clan rank advancement requires specific barracks constructions. You can’t skip tiers; you must build a Shadow Barracks to upgrade from Ghost to Shadow, then a Storm Barracks, and so on, culminating in a Moon Barracks. Each successive upgrade comes with escalating costs in credits, alloy, ferrite, rubedo, and forma, highlighting the importance of collective effort within the clan. This sequential construction reflects a structured progression within the Warframe Clan system.

Is a bigger Clan Rank/Tier always better?

While a higher tier offers increased resource gathering potential and access to more Clan-exclusive items, the cost of upgrades also increases proportionally. A large, inactive clan might not be more efficient than a smaller, active one. A successful Clan hinges on both size and member activity. Balancing these factors is crucial for maximizing efficiency.

What is the Clan Tier Multiplier for each Clan Tier?

The Clan Tier Multiplier directly affects research and construction costs. Each tier jump results in a significant multiplier increase. Ghost Tier has no multiplier. Subsequent tiers (Shadow, Storm, Mountain, and Moon) escalate the multiplier exponentially. For example, research and construction costs for Moon Clans are 10,000% higher than at Ghost Tier. This system encourages strategic growth and avoids exploitation by larger clans with abundant resources. This mechanic is integral to maintaining a balanced Warframe Clan environment.

What Rank/Tier of Clan should I join?

Clan activity levels are more important than the tier itself. A large, inactive clan is less productive than a smaller, active one. Scrutinize member activity—look for frequent online presence. If efficiency is paramount, prioritize clans that have already unlocked research. Large clans often offer more welcoming entry points. Utilize in-game chat’s recruiting section to find active and established clans.

Clan Ranks and You

Ultimately, the best clan tier depends on the needs and resources of the individual Tenno. A balanced clan with a committed and active membership will thrive regardless of its specific tier.
