In 9Dragons, all players can become members of one of 9 clans, or they can choose to remain a Vagabond and not join a clan.
The 6 clans are: Wu Tang, Shaolin, The League of Beggars, Heavenly Demon, Sacred Flower, The Brotherhood of Thieves
The clans are divided into three categories: The White clans (Wu Tang, Shaolin, and The League of Beggars), who are loyal to the emperor, the Black clans (Heavenly Demon, Sacred Flower, and Brotherhood of Thieves) who are not loyal to the emperor.
The Black and White clans can be joined at a low level, and a role can be chosen at level 25.
Some of the main advantages of joining a clan are:
- The ability to learn advanced skills, such as more powerful attacks, heals spells, buffs, and debuffs.
- The ability to join a Hero Band and Hero League
- Stronger meditation skills that allow you to recover more quickly.
- The ability to earn karma points more rapidly than you would otherwise.
