OSRS Clan Finder questions and answers
Plain answers about finding Old School RuneScape clans, listing a clan, using Wise Old Man data, and staying safe while choosing a community.
Finding OSRS Clans
Answers for players searching for Old School RuneScape clans, clan chats, and friends chats.
- What is OSRS Clan Finder?
- OSRS Clan Finder is a clan discovery tool for Old School RuneScape players. It helps players browse OSRS clans, compare requirements, view clan chats or friends chats, and choose a community that fits their goals.
- How do I find Old School RuneScape clans?
- Use the clan directory to search and filter by playstyle, region, timezone, language, requirements, member count, home world, and recruiting status. This makes it easier to find clans for PvM, raids, skilling, Ironman, PvP, social play, minigames, F2P, P2P, and other OSRS communities.
- Can I look up an OSRS clan by name?
- Yes. Use the search field in the clan directory to look up a clan by its listing name or public clan chat name. You can then open its profile to compare public details, stats, requirements, and joining links.
- Can I search for specific clan types like PvM, Ironman, skilling, or raids?
- Yes. Clan listings can be categorized by activity and community type, including PvM, raids, skilling, social, Ironman, Hardcore Ironman, PvP, bossing, collection log, completionist, new player, minigame, merchant, F2P, and P2P communities.
- Can I find clans by timezone, region, or language?
- Yes. Listings can include region, timezone, and language so players can find clans that match when they usually play. This is useful for players looking for events, raids, skilling sessions, or social activity during their normal online hours.
- Is Clan Finder only for formal OSRS clans?
- No. Clan Finder supports public recruitment for OSRS clans and friends chats, as long as the listing represents a real community and follows the listing rules.
Listing a Clan
What clan owners need to know before publishing a recruitment listing.
- What is an unclaimed clan profile?
- An unclaimed profile is a clearly labeled directory record built from an attributed public source. It can help players discover an existing group, but its ownership and full details have not yet been verified by ClanFinder.
- How do I claim or correct an unclaimed listing?
- Open the unclaimed profile and use its ownership request form. The ClanFinder team manually reviews the request before linking the record to an owner. Use the profile report option if you only need to flag incorrect or unsafe information.
- What does verified mean on a clan profile?
- ClanFinder verification means the profile is connected to a clan representative through the site's review process. Wise Old Man source verification is a separate signal and does not prove ownership of a ClanFinder profile.
- Can clan owners list their OSRS clan or friends chat?
- Yes. Clan owners can submit a listing with the clan name, clan chat name, description, playstyle categories, community tags, requirements, Discord invite, website, application link, logo, and banner. Approved listings appear in the public clan directory.
- What requirements can a clan show?
- Listings can show minimum combat level, total level, quest points, raid kill count, Discord requirement, application requirement, microphone requirement, home world, language, region, timezone, and custom requirement notes.
- Can a clan add its website, Discord, and application link?
- Yes. Clan owners can add a Discord invite, clan website, and application link. These appear as contact buttons on the public clan page when provided, helping recruits continue through the clan's normal joining process.
- Can owners control how their clan categories display?
- Yes. Owners can choose clan categories and order them so the most important playstyles appear first on their listing. This helps players quickly understand whether the clan is focused on PvM, skilling, raids, social play, Ironman, PvP, or another activity.
- Are listings reviewed before they appear?
- Clan submissions and sensitive listing edits can go through review before they appear publicly. This helps keep contact links, descriptions, and recruitment information safer and more useful for players looking for an OSRS clan.
Wise Old Man and Events
How public Wise Old Man group data can make listings more useful.
- How does Wise Old Man help clan listings?
- Clan owners can link a Wise Old Man group to an approved listing. ClanFinder may also store a small, attributed set of aggregate facts for clearly labeled unclaimed directory profiles. Unclaimed profiles appear below owner listings and are not recruitment endorsements.
- Can Clan Finder sync clan events?
- Clan owners can use Wise Old Man event automation to help sync public competition events from a linked group. Owners can manage whether synced events remain private drafts, publish automatically, or post to Discord when enabled.
- Does Wise Old Man syncing expose private account data?
- ClanFinder uses public Wise Old Man group information. The unclaimed-directory pilot stores aggregate group facts rather than member rosters or copied descriptions. Players should never enter RuneScape login details, bank PINs, or authenticator codes into ClanFinder.
Favorites and Clan Page Discussion
Tools that help players compare, revisit, and discuss clans.
- Can players favorite clan pages?
- Yes. Signed-in players can favorite clans they want to revisit. This is useful when comparing several OSRS clans before deciding which clan chat, Discord, or application process to use.
- Can players discuss a clan listing?
- Yes. Clan pages can include a public posting board when the owner has enabled board posts. Players can ask questions, leave public feedback, and discuss the listing directly on the clan page.
- Does OSRS Clan Finder replace Discord or clan applications?
- No. Clan Finder helps players discover and compare clans before they join. Clan owners can still link Discord servers, websites, and application pages so recruits can continue through the clan's normal joining process.
Safety and Independence
How Clan Finder handles moderation, ownership, and platform boundaries.
- Is the ClanFinder RuneLite plugin available through the official Plugin Hub?
- Yes. ClanFinder links to its listing on the RuneLite Plugin Hub. The plugin is a read-only directory browser and does not automate gameplay or require RuneScape account credentials.
- Is OSRS Clan Finder affiliated with Jagex or Wise Old Man?
- No. OSRS Clan Finder is an independent discovery site for Old School RuneScape clans. RuneScape and Old School RuneScape are trademarks of Jagex. Wise Old Man is an attributed public data source and its verification badge is kept distinct from ClanFinder owner verification.
- What should I check before joining a clan?
- Review the clan description, requirements, activity types, region, timezone, website, Discord, and application link. Avoid any community asking for RuneScape login details, bank PINs, authenticator codes, account services, or suspicious downloads.
- Can unsafe or inaccurate listings be reported?
- Yes. Public clan pages include a report option. Reports help moderators review unsafe links, impersonation, inaccurate information, phishing risk, or listings that no longer represent the clan.
