Server: Khalim's Will 
Region: North America - West 

Allied Clan Leader: Seat Vacant
Allied Clan Leader: Seat Vacant

Please note that we have zero intentions to forge alliances with other clans ... specifically, during the Challenge of the Immortal battle.  We are interested in competitive match making during all activities, including but not limited to: Rite of Exile, Challange of the Immortal, Raid the Vault, Ancient Arena, Battlegrounds, etc.  In other words, players that are playing within the rules of the game and playing to win.  So just to be clear, the only foreseeable scenario where we will have Allied Clan Leaders would be if we won the Challange of the Immortal and selected two other clans to join us as immortals.  Since the first day, from what i hear and have observed, being an immortal is a chore ... even after the quality-of-life improvements the devs have made.  The devs would need to change a few things so that being an immortal is fun and worthwhile.  Secondly, we would have to believe that everyone on our server that is fighting in Challange of the Immortal have zero alliances and are fighting to win that battle.  If those two things happen, and we won the Challange of the Immortal, we plan to select two other clans that would bring the most balance to the server ... so that the immortals vs. shadows activities will be competitive and fun.         



I started playing Diablo Immortal on 1 June 2022 ... I was a Shadow, completed Akeba's Challange, and paid 3,000 Platinum to create a Dark Clan.  Then when the reign of Nasum ended, the Dark Clan that I formed was converted into an Adventure clan.

So clan members needed to submit Akeba's Signets to our clan so we could become a Dark Clan.  In other words, clan members needed to complete the steps below.  

• Reach level 43 and complete the storyline quest in Bilefen
• Enter the Shadow Lottery at Westmarch Tavern at 12 p.m., 6 p.m. or 9 p.m. Server Time.
• Win the Shadow Lottery
• Speak with the Mysterious Patron
  
• Complete the Shadow Mettle quest
• Submit Akeba's Signets to our clan

Clan Member Requirements

• Open Vault Chests during Raid the Vault ...Because this is our Dark Clan Focus. 
• Submit Akeba's Signets to our clan when the clan needs them.  Specifically, when a Dark Clan overthrows the Immortal and all dark clans become Adventure clans again.

• Paragon Gear that drops in Hell difficulties are gated by Paragon.  Paragon level is a rough indication of how active a player is ... especially when you compare your Paragon to the Server Paragon Level.  Max XP Rewards looks like it's 800%. 
• Under ... Server Paragon ... Green Bar ... Boosted XP Rewards
• 3-4 under ... 120%

• 7-8 over ... 40%
• 9-10 over ... 30%
• 11-12 over ... 20%
• Challange Rifts Not clearing Challange Rifts ... is most often, the thing that is holding back players that feel stuck Combat Rating wise. 
  
  Completing certain Challange Rifts and reaching certain Paragon levels will improve items acquired from Challange Rifts, Elder Rifts, Cycle of Strife activates, and the Antiquities & Rarities vendor.  
• Challange Rift 12, Paragon 1
• Challange Rift 30, Paragon 30
• Challange Rift 60, Paragon 80

• Kiting Learning how and mastering the art of kiting, herding monsters into a densely populated line, will greatly improve your ability to clear Challange Rifts.
  
  
• Path of Blood Rewards: Mark.  Path of Blood has 100 levels.  After a new reign begins the Path of Blood becomes more difficult.  In other words, if you cleared all 100 levels during the previous reign ... you will need to become stronger (read: increase combat rating) so you can clear 100 levels during the new reign.  
  
  Combat Rating of the Monsters for each Level are now posted in game.

• Rite of Exile Players must be Showdown or Reckoning on the Shadow development Stages.  Our clan must also place among the Top 10 in the Shadow War event.  The Rite of Exile is a 3-stage 8v8 PvP battle ... the format, map, and objectives are exactly like Battlegrounds when you are on offense ... Defeat 3 Sacred Guardians, Escort at least 1 Zealous Idol, and Destroy the Sacred Heart.  Each task has a time limit, if we fail to complete the task within the time limit, the Immortals will win the match.  If the Immortals get 55 eliminations, they win.

• Milestones to a New a Reign ... from what I understand, over the course of approx. 6 weeks, shadows will become strong enough to overthrow the Immortal.  Specifically in the Shadow development Stage Reckoning III, which reads: Rite of Exile now requires a minimum of 3 wins to proceed to Challange of the Immortal.  Before Reckoning III is completed, Shadows are required to win 5 matches during Rite of Exile.

• Raid the Vault Exiting the vault after clearing level 3 and having zero wardens alert the Immortals is ok ... you will actually receive significantly more Hilts ... and all of the Essentia and loot (stolen resources) that you picked up from the vault will be taken from the Immortals.  If you die in the vault to an Immortal ... the Essentia and loot that you picked up will drop on the vault floor.
  
  Players seem to like to fight the Immortal team on Floor 4 at the Boss so they can pick up health globes the Boss drops.  These fights are more fun i think ... than fighting on spawn.

• Warband a great way to get stronger.  There is no requirement that your Warband has to be all members of our clan.  It is helpful though ... because you will be helping people get stronger that we will be fighting with ... instead of helping someone that we will fight against.
• Warband Raids
• Warband Activity points
• Eternal Legendary Crest
• Ancestral Tableau
• Defense - Endless
• Defense - Normal
• Purge the Depths

• Helliquary Raids Resets every Monday and Thursday.  Rewards: Scoria and much more.  You will want to defeat each boss on the highest difficulty that you can ... because items dropped for your Helliquary will be stronger.

• Iben Fahd's Sanctum Daily (or as often as you play) slay monsters and collect Aspirant's Keys.  Open the one chest for free, save all other keys ... because you will need 377 keys¹ to open all of the chests in all 4 rooms.  You can get keys from Hilts Trader, Battlegrounds, Iben Fahd's Sanctum, Shadow Assembly, Shadow War, Daedess'a Blessing on Elder Rift, and Shop.  The number of Culling Stones significantly increases as you open more chests.  I have opened all of the chest and I got 2,529 Culling Stones; 896 Sapphire, 716 Garnet, and 1,026 Beryl.  See Tables 1 and 2 below.  I have opened all of the chest more than once and the quantity of Culling Stones gained has varied greatly ... the most common quantity of Culling Stones I've gained is 1,709.

• Primary Gear Helm (Head), Chest, Shoulders, Pants, Main Hand, Off-Hand.  Rank up to increase your Combat Rating.  Periodically, you will receive Bonus Attributes ... up to 5 Bonus Attributes per item.   
  
  
• Consider buying Weapons and Primary Armor from the Antiquities & Rarities merchant.  You can get really good items from him to use in your build, extract Essence, or salvage for Glowing Shards.  
  
  
• Salvage You should not rely on the green up arrows to equip or salvage gear.  In other words, it is possible that you have an item that has zero green up arrows ... and that item will increase your Combat Rating if you equip it.  
  
  
• Attributes Know which Attribute is primary for your character class.  The primary Attribute for Demon Hunter is Strength.  Each point of Strength gives a Demon Hunter +0.3 Damage.²
  
  
• Set Items are great secondary gear.³  All Set Items except Rings roll with 1-3 Attributes, 1-3 Magic, and 1-3 Sockets.  Rings roll with 1-3 Attributes, 1-3 Magic, and 1 Socket.  The 2/6, 4/6, and 6/6 Bonuses for Set Items are so good ... especially because Legendary Gems are nerfed in Battlegrounds ... Set Bonuses are not nerfed in Battlegrounds.  Each dungeon has possibility to drop certain items for a set.  See Tables 3-11 below.  Secondary Gear upgrade cost See Tables 12-A and 12-B below.

• Ancient Elites Have a chance of dropping Legendary item.  After you have damaged the Ancient Elite a little, wait to make sure that all of your teammates are right next to you and have each damaged the Ancient Elite.  If your party is not full ... invite a friend(s) and DM them ... telling them "Ancient Elite on me" ... this is obviously just a really nice thing to do and you are significantly more likely to receive invites from them when they find an Ancient Elite and Hidden Lairs.
  
  
• Have an understanding of how Combat Rating is calculated.⁴  Combat Rating = Total points of Attributes from gear + Resonance + Legendary Gem(s) Buffs (e.g., second line of gear that reads: +66 Combat Rating). 
  
  Combat Rating is the most important thing (not Resonance) when running dungeons, overworld, and raids ... anything PvE.
  
  Resonance is the most important thing (not Combat Rating) when doing anything PvP.  Sets are important as well in PvP.
  
  
• Be aware that the only way to get the 2 Star Gem Fervent Fang is via the Battle Pass and Boon of Plenty.
  
  
• Hidden Lairs are so good.  I really enjoy finding Hiddens.  Normal Gems drop (18 daily ... 9 bound and 9 unbound) and I got a triple Attribute triple Magic item ... which was a huge upgrade.  You can search online for maps that have marked all of the possible locations of Hidden Lairs in each zone. 
  
  
• Have patience when upgrading and slotting Normal Gems. Play in a Party of 4 ... so that normal Gems drop.  12 Normal Gems daily.  So 12 plus 18 from Hidden Liars equals 30 Normal Gems per day.
  
  Refinement of Normal Gems ... placement maters ... Slot your highest ranking yellow gems in your Hands for Damage increase, Neck, Ring 1, Ring 2, Belt, and Boots increase Life.  Belt and Boots give the most Life increase ... so slot your highest ranking Blue gems in your Boots ... and your highest ranking Red gems in your Belt.  watch this short video by Lida on YouTube
  
  Ranking up one normal gem from Rank 1 to Rank 10 will take 19,683 normal gems and a bunch of Echo Crystal.  Just because you can rank up a Normal Gem doesn't mean should.  For example, having three Rank 3 Tourmaline equipped might be better than combining those three to form one Rank 4 Tourmaline.⁵  See Tables 13-A and 13-B below.

5 Star Gems
Ranks 1-10, Resonance, etc. It was fun to figure the numbers for the 5 Star Gems below ... unless a really cool or strong gem is released ... i do not plan to make a chart for other 5 Star Gems..

• Awakening You must have a Legendary Gem that is Rank 10 to Awaken gear.  You will need a Dawning Echo ... which can only be acquired for 1,000 Eternal Orbs.  Primary Gear that has been Awakened, will have a purple boarder.  
  
  
• Awakening How to transfer Awakening from one piece of gear to another.⁷  Please just watch the video by Cpt_N3m0 on the url below ... the part you want starts at the 5 minute mark.  I have successfully transferred Awakening without losing any resources ... the process is exactly like he says.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lEDV3Z2qc8I
  
  
• Family Set Bonuses When you rank up your Primary Gear from Rank 15 to Rank 16 you will get a third Random Bonus Attribute ... Rank 20 to Rank 21 you will get a fourth Random Bonus Attribute.  When you have 3 Bonus Attributes from the same family ... you get the Family Set Bonus.  Use Reforge Stones to roll Bonus Attributes.
  
  
• Charms are strong.⁸  Skill Bonuses for Charms can roll +2%, +4%, +6%, +8%, or +10%.

• Charm - Skill Selection Probability 
• 2% Bonus: 74.8%
• 4% Bonus: 19.5%
• 6% Bouns: 4%
• 8% Bouns: 1%
• 10% Bonus: 0.7%

• Consider your Graphics Settings.  Maximizing FPS is critical and helps your device not to run hot.

• Help other players once in a while (e.g., they are lower level, paragon, and / or combat rating than you).  Approx. 50% of Diablo Immortal players have not played a Diablo game before.⁹  I really enjoyed playing Diablo 3 ... and I am looking forward to Diablo 4.
  
  
• Sportsmanship.  Be kind to all players.  Please stay away from and do not engage in drama.  Also keep away from discussion politics, religion, and any other topics that are almost certain to get people worked up.  Relax, play the game and have fun.  

• Farming etiquette ... if a full group of 4 are at a spot where you want to farm, please find another place to farm. 
  
  
• Proc ... Programmed Random Occurrence.  Howler's Call procs a charging spirit wolf because the text reads "Your Primary Attack has a 10% chance to summon a charging spirit wolf" ... you don't know when it will happen.  Pheonix Ashes does not proc because the occurrence of preventing fatal damage is not random ... it happens 100% of the time unless it was triggered in the last 180 seconds.  Nevertheless, you might hear players referring to something that procs ... that is not a random occurrence.    
  
  
• Do not think or feel like you need to spend money on the game.¹⁰  If you do spend money ... the Battle Pass is a great deal ... Boon of Plenty is also great if you can log in every single day.  After those, the one-time purchases will get you significantly more than simply buying Eternal Orb packs and then buying Eternal Legendary Crest.
  
  
• Battlegrounds Affectionately referred to as the bg's.  Rewards: Aspirant's Keys, Glowing Shard, Reforge Stone, etc.  Reaching Rank Legend and Placing in the Top 1,000 at the end of a reign will award you 82 Reforge Stones.  To be strong in PvP ... focus on increasing your Damage, Life, and Sets, because these are not nerfed in PvP.¹¹  
  
  You should be aware that the devs have a patent on the algorithm for matchmaking.  The algorithm is designed to reward players that recently spent money.  Specifically, players that have recently spent money will be matched against a team of very weak opponents.
  
  Here is an example: US10857468B2 - Systems and methods for dynamically weighing match variables to better tune player matches - Google Patents
  
  Resonance is the most important thing (not Combat Rating) when doing anything PvP.  Sets are important as well in PvP. 
  
  
• Max Levels
• Resonance: 7,560
• Paragon: ???
• Deeds of Valor: 3 Akeba's Chosen (+36% Damage and Life increase)
• Shadow Rank: Whisper IV (+32 Damage and Defense increase)
• Legacy of the Horadrim: 540 (each stone Level 60)
• Helliquary: ???
  
  
• Clan Merger ... from what i have seen, clan mergers are synthetic growth ... we are interested in slow organic growth.  People have asked me directly if I would consider a clan merger.  They want position(s) in the clan and / or a clan name change.  I have zero interest in changing our clan name.  And I have zero interest in removing our clan officers from their positions ... they are great. 
  
  After people tell me what a clan merger would look like ... I let them know that we are continuing to grow and get stronger and that they are welcome to join our clan. 
  
  I believe our clan has good people and a good culture ... and I have zero interest in making a decision that might make the clan stronger quickly ... because that could have a significant negative impact on our clan members and the culture of our clan. 
  
  We saw this play out on a macro scale when servers merged ... before servers merged, world chat was not toxic, wild, whatever you want to call it ... and for the most part ... everyone got along with each other.
  
  
• Leadership ... I formed the clan so i could do Shadow activities.  I considered joining someone else's Dark Clan ... however, i didn't agree with how they operated.  Specifically, I did not want to join a Dark Clan that had a schedule of mandatory activates, or removed players if they did not log in for 3 days, etc.  Forming a Dark Clan, during the beginning of June 2022, was relatively easy ... I was a Shadow and paid 3,000 Platinum to form the Dark Clan ... Chaos For Lunch.  Then when the reign of the first Immortal (an NPC) ended, our Dark Clan was converted into an Adventure clan ... and the game said we needed 30 Akeba's Signets to become a Dark Clan again.  So if there was an option to pay 3,000 Platinum, I guess I missed that.  Apparently, the game would not let me acquire 30 Akeba's Signets ... so i invited people to our clan so they could help with that.  We became Shadows again.  Then, and fairly quickly the problem starts ... I became friends with a lot of the players that joined our clan.  So instead of simply having a Dark Clan so I could do Shadow Activities ... I have this friends in game ... that I don't want to let down by having a totally garbage clan.
  
  I believe that people can be leaders and not in a leadership position.  I also believe that someone can be in a leadership position and not be a good leader. 
  
  We have many players in our clan that are good leaders that are not clan officers.  I think the devs should add a way for all clan members to rank up in the clan ... ranking up would be based only on clan participation ... like Shadow War, running Dungeons, Raids, Challange Rifts, etc. with clan members.
  
  And the devs have this great quality of life thing if a leader is not active. 
  Blizzard Support - Replacing an Inactive Clan Leader in Diablo Immortal (battle.net)

• Clan Officers ... When the time comes, leadership roles will most likely be assigned to players base on participation and contribution to our clan.  Clan Officers, under the direction of our clan leader, are responsible for making sure everything (e.g., Shadow Wars, Rite of Exile, etc.) runs smoothly for our clan. 

• When we reach 100 Clan Members ... most likely we will remove inactive or less active members, so that active players can join and contribute.
  
  
• Recruiting 
• When someone is in a Dark Clan ... they will need to leave their Dark Clan ... wait approx. 12 hours ... then then can join our Dark Clan.
• How to help someone that is an Adventurer join our Dark Clan.
• The person needs to click on their Adventurer tab
• Select ... Clan Members
• Select ... More
• Select ... Leave Clan
• After they leave their Adventure clan ... that person needs to Enter the Shadow Lottery (Join Shadows or Shadow Trial), get selected, then complete the Prove Yourself task.
• After they become a Shadow ... they can apply to our Dark Clan and / or you can invite them to our Dark Clan.

• There is no requirement for our clan members to join the Chaos For Lunch partners or affiliates programs.

8.     Charms, the charm I have equipped came with Vengeance, a favorable Skill Bonus for my Demon Hunter.  The next upgrade was Knockback Shot, another Skill Bouns for my class.  I did the Imbue process to get Daring Swing, the third Skill Bouns.  I crafted the Skill Stone that had Daring Swing on it from a Charm that I upgraded.  To get the fourth Bonus Skill, I paid 1,742 Platinum for a Skill Stone that had Multishot and Rain of Vengeance on it.  Imbue gave me Multishot.  I bought a Skill Stone that had two favorable skill bonuses ... however, the roll didn't not land on what we could use.  I bought a Skill Stone that had Crossbow Shot for 1,736 Platinum ... and it rolled Crossbow Shot +4% Damage ... so good ... and my first roll that was not +2%.

10.   The 3/5 star Blood-Soaked Jade that I have dropped after a rift run ... I could not believe it ... my first 3/5 star gem and the best gem in the game.  I bought the 3/5 star Bottled Hope from the Market for approx. 40k Platinum.  I had that Platinum after I sold a 2/5 star Blessing of the Worthy that dropped in a rift run.  The 2/5 Seeping Bile dropped in a rift run.  My 4/5 Howlers Call dropped on a rift run ... it is my second 4/5 star gem.  I consider all of those drops extremely lucky and I would not play the game counting on or hoping for anything like what I experienced.
