How listings work & privacy

Why is my clan listed if I did not submit it?

Listings come from user submissions or approved ownership claims. An existing profile may have been submitted or claimed by another representative. Contact support if you need help checking who manages it or correcting the ownership. Automatically imported records alone no longer create a public listing.

Where do listing details come from?

Public profiles show recruitment details supplied by clan representatives. Existing claimed profiles may retain earlier source details until updated. Older forum, Reddit, Steam and wiki source records are saved privately for possible restoration. They can include source links, post text, public author handles and observation dates. Original excerpts and source-author handles are excluded from the public directory export. Read what we collect and publish.

Which clans appear in the directory?

Clans appear after a representative submits a listing or staff approve an ownership claim. Existing claimed and verified clans remain listed. Automatically imported clans without a submission or approved claim are not public.

What happened to automatically indexed clans?

Imported and historical clans without a submission or approved claim have been taken off the public site. Their source records are saved privately. All existing submitted, claimed and verified clans retain their profiles and history.

Link to this answer
Can I submit a clan that was previously indexed?

Yes. If the clan no longer has a public listing, submit its current details. An archived source record does not reserve its name. Existing ownership claims, submitted listings and staff restrictions still apply.

How do I claim a clan?

Choose Claim on Discord on the clan listing to see the simple claim guide. Sign in with Discord, open a private claim ticket, and send your clan name, listing URL and in-game screenshots showing your leadership role. Only an administrator can approve the claim. Your approval message includes a Manage your listing button. Claiming is free and gives the approved representative editing access.

Link to this answer
What does verified mean?

Verified leadership means staff approved an ownership claim and reviewed authority to manage that listing. Managed means a Discord-connected representative can maintain the profile; that label alone does not mean staff independently verified ownership.

None of these labels certifies clan quality, safety, research completion or current recruitment. A Discord account or server role is not the same as a Verified leadership badge on a clan profile. Read the listing standards.

What permissions does Discord sign-in request?

We request your basic Discord profile (user ID, username, display name and avatar) and permission to add you to the Warframe Clan Finder community server. Discord calls these permissions identify and guilds.join. After authorization, the site uses them to identify your account and add you to our server if you are not already a member.

These sign-in permissions do not give us your Discord password, access to your private messages or permission to administer your servers. We do not request your Discord email address. You can browse the directory without signing in. See the privacy policy.

Link to this answer
Do you access private Discord conversations?

We do not read private Discord channels or direct messages, sign into private clan accounts, or collect private membership lists. Discord sign-in does not grant access to your private conversations.

Messages, screenshots and evidence you choose to submit in our support or claim tickets are handled by authorized staff and the site's ticket tools. They are not published as recruitment listings. Keep passwords and unrelated personal information out of submissions.

Link to this answer
How do I correct inaccurate clan information?

Use Report this profile on the relevant clan page or open a private support ticket. Include the listing URL, the specific error and a supporting reference where available. You do not need to claim a clan to report an error. Authorized representatives can claim the profile to maintain its details. Contact support if you need help with publication or ownership.

Link to this answer
How do I request removal of my personal information?

Open a private support ticket with the page URL and the specific information concerning you. You do not need to pay, claim a listing or prove clan ownership to raise a concern about your own personal information. Do not post sensitive evidence in a public comment.

Personal-information requests are assessed through the privacy process. Keeping a clan record does not mean every piece of information about an individual must remain. Requests concerning public pages, internal source copies and backups are reviewed under the privacy process and applicable requirements. We cannot directly erase another website's original post.

Link to this answer
How do I report content I believe belongs to me?

Open a private support ticket identifying the exact text or image, its page URL, your original work and your relationship to it. Staff will review the specific content concern. Public availability does not mean we claim ownership of somebody else's work.

Finding and joining a clan

How do I find a clan in Warframe?

Start with your platform, playing hours, language, and preferred activities. Browse the clan directory, shortlist a few matches, and ask whether they are recruiting now. Our selection guide explains what to compare.

Link to this answer
How do I join a Warframe clan?

Contact the clan through its recruitment route and arrange an in-game invitation with an authorized recruiter. Joining its Discord server alone does not add you to the in-game clan. See the joining guide.

Link to this answer
Can new Warframe players join clans?

Many communities welcome beginners. Requirements are set by each clan, so check the current listing and ask about teaching, activity rules, and available spaces. Browse beginner-friendly clans and explain what kind of support you want.

Link to this answer
What Mastery Rank do clans require?

There is no single recruitment requirement shared by every clan. Ask about the specific community’s rule and any requirements for its organized activities. Do not assume that a beginner-friendly tag automatically means every restriction is waived.

Link to this answer
What should I look for in a Warframe clan?

Prioritize compatible playing hours, clear rules, suitable platform support, and the activities you enjoy. Research and roster size are useful context, but they do not prove a good social fit. Use the application checklist.

Link to this answer
How do clan invitations work?

A member with the appropriate recruitment permission sends the in-game invitation. Check your exact account name with the recruiter if there is a problem, and confirm the clan name before accepting. Never give a recruiter your account password.

Link to this answer
How do I leave a Warframe clan?

Open Communication → Clan, select your own name, and choose Leave Clan. Leadership and last-member situations need extra care; read the leaving guide before confirming.

Link to this answer
Can I join another clan after leaving one?

You can apply to another community after leaving. Confirm open spaces, requirements, and invitation arrangements with its recruiter; a public listing does not guarantee acceptance or immediate availability. Check current event-specific eligibility separately if that matters to you.

Platforms, research and Dojos

What are the benefits of joining a Warframe clan?

Clans offer a regular community and access to shared Dojo facilities and research. The social experience varies: some organize teaching, challenges, or creative projects. Ask what members actually do together. Read the Dojo guide.

Link to this answer
Are Warframe clans cross-platform?

Clans can support members across platforms when the relevant settings are enabled. Confirm the clan’s current setup and recruitment policy. Browse cross-platform clans and read the platform guide.

Link to this answer
Can PC and PlayStation players join the same Warframe clan?

Yes, through a compatible cross-platform clan setup. Confirm the clan accepts both platforms and that the relevant account settings are enabled. Clan membership should not be confused with account linking or trading eligibility.

Link to this answer
What are Ghost, Shadow, Storm, Mountain and Moon clans?

These are clan tiers, with capacities of 10, 30, 100, 300, and 1,000 members respectively. Capacity does not tell you the current roster or active attendance. See clan tiers explained.

Link to this answer
What is a Warframe Clan Dojo?

A Dojo is the clan’s shared in-game space, with facilities and decoration. Ask about the parts relevant to your goals and how new members get oriented. Our Dojo guide covers useful first questions.

Link to this answer
What does full research mean?

It is a recruitment claim about completed clan research. Confirm the specific item you need and any exceptions; the directory does not inspect in-game laboratories. Browse full-research listings and read the research guide.

Link to this answer
Is clan tier the same as clan rank?

No. Tier concerns capacity, while clan rank is a separate progression measure. Neither is a rating of community quality. Compare current activity, requirements, and the experience you want rather than treating either number as a recommendation.

Dojo access and common problems

Why can’t I replicate a blueprint even though research is complete?

Ask an officer to check whether your in-game rank has the Fabricator permission, which controls technology replication. Confirm the exact item and its status in the laboratory. See the official permission definitions and our research checklist.

Link to this answer
Why can’t I enter my new clan’s Dojo?

Check that you accepted the in-game invitation, then look for the Dojo Key blueprint in your Foundry and complete it. Joining Discord does not complete these steps. If access still fails, record the exact error for the recruiter or official support. Read the official Dojo access guide.

Link to this answer
Does full research mean every weapon is already built for me?

No. Confirm the blueprint you want, its replication requirements, and the resources and prerequisites shown in your Foundry. Ask whether new members have research access before joining for one particular item. A recruitment percentage does not replace those checks.

Link to this answer
What should I do if a clan Discord invite is expired?

An invite can stop working after publication. Use Report this profile on the clan page and include the listing URL. If you manage the listing, update the contact link through Manage listings. An expired link alone does not prove the clan has disbanded.

Link to this answer
Why is a cross-platform clan invitation not working?

Confirm your exact in-game account name with the recruiter and check both your Cross Platform Play setting and the clan’s cross-platform setting. Have an authorized recruiter check the invitation. Account linking and Discord membership are separate steps; see cross-platform clan help.

Weekly activities and finding teammates

What are Warframe Weekly Clan Initiatives?

They reward progress from bonus resources earned for the Clan Vault while playing missions with clanmates. See the official Clan Cooperation System notes and our weekly activity guide.

Link to this answer
When do Weekly Clan Initiatives reset?

Monday at 00:00 UTC. Check the Clan menu for the current rewards and bonus planet; these rotate. See the official reset explanation.

Link to this answer
Can Clan Only matchmaking include alliance members?

Yes. Clan Only matchmaking can connect clan or alliance members. That does not make every matched player your clanmate for reward purposes. See the official matchmaking explanation.

Link to this answer
Do pending clan invitations count toward Weekly Clan Initiatives?

No. Hotfix 42.0.7.1 corrected pending members counting toward initiatives. Confirm membership before organizing a session. Read the official hotfix.

Link to this answer
How can I tell whether a clan is actually active?

Ask how many people usually play during your hours and request an example of a recent shared activity. Roster size, a recruitment post, and a research percentage do not establish daily activity. Use our active-clan checklist before applying.

Link to this answer
Do I have to use Discord voice chat to join a clan?

That depends on the clan. Joining a Discord server, reading announcements, and speaking in voice chat are different requirements. Ask which are mandatory, whether listening is enough, and whether text communication is supported. Our casual-clan guide helps you compare expectations.

Link to this answer
Should I leave my solo clan to find more people?

Consider what you value about your existing Dojo, whether recruiting a few compatible players is realistic, and how often you want company. Before leaving, read the leadership and last-member precautions. Compare your options in start or join a clan.

New and returning player questions

I’m new to Warframe. What should I focus on first?

Follow main quests and Junction requirements, equip and improve your Mods, and choose one manageable next objective. You can return to difficult open-world activities later. Read Warframe’s official starting tips or our next-step checklist.

Link to this answer
Why does my rank 30 weapon still feel weak?

Item rank alone does not describe the strength of a build. Check the equipped Mods and ask for help with the mission or enemy that is stopping you. Share your loadout rather than only its rank. See the official advice on equipping Mods.

Link to this answer
Is Mastery Rank the same as my Warframe or weapon rank?

No. Mastery Rank measures account progression; equipment ranks belong to individual items. Leveling different equipment contributes Mastery, while simply releveling the same ranks after Forma does not award them again. See official Mastery Basics.

Link to this answer
I’m returning after years away. How do I stop feeling overwhelmed?

Start with your current quest, one loadout, and one activity you want to try. Ask a helpful clanmate for advice based on that starting point rather than trying to complete every system at once. Our returning-player checklist gives you a simple first session.

Link to this answer
How can I ask a clan for help without getting story spoilers?

State your latest completed quest, the problem you want help with, and that you prefer spoiler-free answers. Ask helpers to explain the next step without naming later story events. Before joining, ask whether the clan separates spoiler discussion from its beginner help channels.

Recruiting and advertising

How do I recruit players for my Warframe clan?

Explain who the clan suits, its regular hours, actual requirements, and one clear application route. Keep the information current and introduce successful applicants to a suitable first activity. See our recruitment guide.

Link to this answer
Where can I advertise my Warframe clan?

Use your own website and community spaces that explicitly allow clan recruitment. Read each forum, subreddit, and Discord channel’s rules before posting. You can also submit a directory listing; avoid duplicate advertisements and unsolicited mass messages.

Link to this answer
Are clan listings free?

The current site does not charge to submit a clan, request a claim, or manage a listing. Approval and management authority still follow the listing rules. A directory listing does not imply endorsement by Digital Extremes.

Link to this answer
Can I put a listing badge on my clan website?

Yes. The optional listing badge links visitors to your clan profile. It is not a verification award, does not require a paid placement, and is not a condition for being included in the directory.

Using this directory

Where do I manage my clan listing?

Sign in to the account associated with your clan, then choose Manage listings in the navigation. The same link is available in the footer. If your clan is missing, check that you used the account that received management access; contact support if you need help with ownership.

Link to this answer
What is Warframe Clan Finder?

An independent, international directory for discovering Warframe clans by region, platform, tier, research, language, requirements, and community style.

Link to this answer
How do I list a new clan?

Connect Discord, complete the structured submission form, and track the result in My Listings. Submissions and owner edits go to the staff review feed without creating a support ticket. When automatic approval is enabled, validated submissions publish automatically; otherwise, staff review them first. Requested changes appear in My Listings. Claiming an existing profile still requires a private ownership-verification ticket.

Link to this answer
How does Recruit Me work?

Sign in with Discord and choose Create listing in Your listing. Complete your player details, preview the card, then publish or submit it for review. Use Found a clan to close your search, Renew for 30 days to keep looking, or Remove listing to take it off the board. Expired listings stay private until renewed.

Link to this answer
Can I edit an approved listing?

Yes. Authorized managers can submit revisions from My Listings. The existing public profile remains live while material updates are reviewed.

Link to this answer
Can I list a clan without a public Discord invite?

Yes. Leave the invite blank and add a recruiter’s Discord username, an application or streamer link, or clear instructions for contacting the clan in game. Your chosen contact details are public. Discord sign-in is still required to manage a clan listing.

Link to this answer
Why is Discord required for owners?

Discord connects your site account with private claim tickets and listing-management roles. Email login remains available for ordinary site accounts. Before signing in, read which Discord permissions we request, including permission to add you to our community server.

Link to this answer
How does Compare work?

Select up to four clans. The shortlist is stored only in your browser and can be reviewed side by side without creating an account.

Link to this answer
How do Spotlight bumps work?

Signed-in members can give one clan an active bump each UTC hour. You can remove it or move it to another clan before the hour ends. The clan with the most bumps earns the next hour’s homepage Spotlight. If a round receives no bumps, the site features one active clan at random so Spotlight always helps players discover a community.

Link to this answer
What is a recommendation?

A recommendation is persistent support for a clan and helps order Recommended directory results. You can recommend multiple clans and remove a recommendation later. It is separate from the hourly Spotlight race.

Link to this answer
How does sharing work?

Share opens your device’s share sheet when available or copies the clan profile URL. Sharing does not require an account and does not publish anything on your behalf without your confirmation.

Link to this answer
How do I report a profile?

Use Report this profile on the clan page or open a support ticket in Discord. Include the profile URL and concise evidence; do not post private information publicly.

Link to this answer
Does the site replace a clan application?

No. Profiles help you compare communities. Always confirm current rules, availability, links, and requirements directly with clan leadership.
