WoT Clans: How to Join, Create a Clan & Clan Benefits

A World of Tanks clan is a permanent team with shared reserves, a Stronghold and access to clan battles. This WoT EU clan guide covers how to join a clan in World of Tanks, how to use a WoT clan finder, how to create a clan, clan benefits, clan ranks and how to leave a clan.

How to join a clan in World of Tanks

You can join a clan in two ways: apply yourself or accept an invitation from a clan officer. Either way, you must not be a member of another clan.

Use the official WoT clan finder: the Wargaming clan portal (eu.wargaming.net/clans) or the Clans section in the game client
Filter clans by language, activity and player requirements
Read the clan description: WN8 requirements, Tier X vehicles, Discord, prime time
Keep a strong profile — recruiters often invite clanless players with good stats themselves

How to apply to a clan

Open the clan page on the clan portal or in the client and click Apply
Add a short note: nickname, WN8, favourite tanks and when you play
Wait for an officer to review — you'll get a notification
If a clan invites you, accept the invitation in the game or on the portal

How to create a clan in World of Tanks and what it costs

Clans are created on the Wargaming clan portal. Creating a clan costs gold — usually around 2,500 gold (check the current price on the portal). You must not be in a clan when you create one.

Choose a tag (up to 5 characters) and a clan name
Fill in the description, motto, language and prime time — candidates see this
Upload an emblem and open recruitment
Appoint officers and start recruiting — for example with WOT Recruiter

Clan benefits in World of Tanks

How to leave or switch clans

You can leave a clan on the clan portal or in the client: open your clan and choose Leave clan. The Commander cannot simply leave — they must first transfer the Commander role or disband the clan.

Let your officers know before leaving — it keeps your reputation intact
After joining a new clan, temporary restrictions on some clan battles may apply
To switch clans, leave your current clan first, then apply to the new one
