Any clan with a citadel can now create, customise and deploy clan avatars. Summoned and controlled by designated avatar wardens within your clan, these living embodiments of your citadel can accompany you to the surface world and support your clan with an array of buffs. These buffs affect every eligible clan member within the avatar's aura of influence. Whether you're a clan of legendary warriors or a collective of shrewd artisans, your avatar has your back.

Combat-focused clans will benefit from buffs that heal over time, randomly resurrect fallen clan members and redirect damage taken by clan members to the avatar.In times of peace, your avatar can increase the resource yield from citadel skill plots, double the duration of Summoning familiars, and can offer a healthy XP boost for any skill training, even outside of your citadel. Depending on the tier of your citadel, an avatar can have up to three slots for equipping these buffs, so they can be tailored to any task at hand.

For an avatar to take up residence, you'll first need to build a habitat within your clan citadel. Here, clan members with the necessary permissions can designate buffs to an avatar. Other permissions can enable you to customise its appearance, choosing from four styles for each of its nine components. Your clan logo and colours will also be proudly displayed on your avatar's body, so no two avatars need ever look the same.

Habitats come in three varieties, each with its own resource requirement:

• Basic: 3,000 timber.
• Medium: 30,000 timber, 30,000 precious bars.
• Grand: 30,000 timber, 30,000 precious bars, 30,000 rations.

The basic habitat houses one avatar, while the medium habitat holds two and the grand habitat three, so the extra investment is well worth it. While your clan can only summon one avatar at a time, you'll have up to three avatars ready and waiting to assist, whatever the situation.

To benefit from the clan avatar's buffs, each individual will need to pay 300 anagogic orts to the avatar, which will buy a week's access to its clan-boosting benefits. These items are non-tradable, but they can be gathered as drops from monsters throughout RuneScape, as well as during skill training - so long as you're a member of a clan. These are also used to heal your avatar when it takes damage in combat, so be sure to stock up if you're taking a clan avatar into multi-way combat or PvP!

Gather your resources, muster your clan mates and summon your new secret weapon. Your clan just got a whole lot bigger.

Getting Started with Clan Avatars:

See the master guard at the clan camp for full details of how to build, maintain and use your clan avatar.

Requirements

• To build a clan avatar, or benefit from its buffs, you must be a member.
• You must be part of a clan which owns a clan citadel.
• Your citadels must include a clan avatar habitat.
• You must pay fee of 300 anagogic orts to benefit from clan avatar buffs. This earns you a week's access to buff from avatars owned by your clan. These are non-tradable, and can be gathered from monster drops and skill training.

sderiously jagex this sounded epic now it just sounds stupid hope i can keep it out just to look like a badass

[Varunky]

What? You have to "sacrifice" these things to use them as well? That seems like a bad deal.. But at least that means that ppl who didn't help make them have to contribute to use them..

[kilvehk]

no they dont varunky they just have to kill crap

[Anthuny]

no they dont varunky they just have to kill crap

Yeah, that seems to be a problem. You should only be able to get orbs from helping at the citadel. Not during your random skilling or monster killing.

[Kushie]

I think that if you fill your resource cap for the week they should give you the 300 orts. it should be the only way to get them. I wonder if the avatar effects can be used in the fight cave.

[Anthuny]

Here. I fixed it. :3

[Tri_Killer2]

Meh, not a big fan of this update

[Lord Relztik]

300 orts? where the heck am i gonna 300 orts and how long does it take to get them? Do I feed them to the avatar while it is in its habitat? Who are the wardens?

[Claudia]

Getting orts is super easy. I got like 100 in under 30 minutes just by doing random crap like fletching a bow or fishing some lobster.

This avatar thing sucks though, i'm tired of people asking/complaining about it in the clan chat.
