The benefits of clans in Destiny 2

Clans are an important part of many MMORPGs. Clans serve to increase player engagement by allowing players to group up with other players, increasing the chance that they will play together again.

What are clans in Destiny 2?

Clans in Destiny 2 are a group of players who join together to play and progress through the content offered by Bungie. A clan also has an associated Clan Roster, which is the list of all the members in that Clan.

How do I join a clan in Destiny?

Currently, Destiny 2 does not have an in-game method of joining or creating clans. Players are instead able to join a clan by directly contacting the leader of that clan outside of the game (through Bungie.net, Reddit, etc) and ask them for an invitation into their clan.

Why should I join a clan in Destiny?

Joining a clan offers numerous benefits to Destiny players.

- A sense of community: Being in a group of like-minded people who share the same interest as you can greatly increase your enjoyment while playing Destiny 2. Furthermore, joining a clan allows members to see and chat with their friends even when they aren't online at the same time.

- Clan rewards: Clans are able to earn in-game rewards by completing certain quests, which are then shared with all members of the clan. To learn more about these quests refer to our article on Clan Quests

- Easy access to other players: Clans allow you to find other people who want to complete events and other activities. This will give you an edge over the competition, allowing you to complete content more quickly.

- Guided or mentored experiences: Some clans only allow members of a certain skill level into their clan, which can be beneficial for players who are new to Destiny 2 and need help learning new mechanics in-game.

How to find the right clan for me?

Joining a clan can be a daunting task, as there are hundreds of clans for Destiny 2 players. There is no universal method to find the right clan that matches your interests, but below are some tips you should follow when looking for a clan:

- Introspect: Think about why you would want to join a clan. What do you expect to gain from being part of a clan? Are you looking for a laid back clan or one that always raids? Think about what you are looking for, and know exactly what type of player you are before applying to join clans.

- Research: Once you have decided what kind of clan would best fit your needs, start looking for these clans by searching the #Recruitment posts on Bungie.net, Reddit or other social media platforms that you use. If you have a specific criteria for your looking for a clan, be as specific as possible in your search terms to capture results that match your interests.

- Be proactive: Once you have found a few clans that you might be interested in, contact the clan leader and introduce yourself. Let them know why you would be a good fit for their clan and what you could bring to the table. Follow up by sending out applications to all of the clans that seem like they might be a good fit. Don't expect that just because you find a few good options that one will magically come knocking at your door.

- Know what you want: If a clan seems like a good fit, but you don't meet all of their requirements, think about whether or not it would be worth joining anyways. Be honest with yourself and make sure that the time they will be investing in recruiting you as a member is worth the effort for them. If a clan leader is recruiting someone in your skill level, but you think you will be much better after a few weeks or months of playing, it might not be worth joining.

- Be prepared: Once you have been successfully recruited into a clan, make sure to set high expectations for yourself and try to always improve as a player.

As always, thank you for reading and we hope that this article will help guide you through the world of clans. If there is anything else that you would like to know about clans or Destiny 2 as a whole, send us a message on our social media channels - we love hearing from you guys!

 

The best farming simulator since Harvest Moon

I was just farming my land tonight, when suddenly I found something shiny. It was a Silver key. When I tried it in the chest at the Mayor's house, there was a Pearl inside!

What is a pearl?

The pearl is an item that can be found in Stardew Valley. It is mostly found by fishing, the only other way to get it is to buy it at the night market for 720g or find it in one of the town's quests.

What you need to do with the pearl?

After you get the pearl, go to the blacksmith and talk to him about upgrading your tools. He will tell you that he needs a "Precious Gem" and after giving it to him and paying 3,000g he will give you a choice between:

-Topaz

-Emerald

-Diamond

How to find pearls?

There are a few ways to find pearls in the world of Stardew Valley.

-You can fish for them (they are mostly found during winter).

 -Sometimes you get one when interacting with certain items like Pirate Treasure or Coal.

-If you complete the quest "The Mysterious Qi" given by Mayor Lewis you will get a pearl.

-Be lucky and buy one from the night market, they're pricey though!

-You can also get a book from Krobus called "Where are all these pretty rocks coming from?" that tells you where you will be able to find all precious gems in the world of Stardew Valley.

Where are the best places to find pearls?

The best places to find pearls are:

-Fish in the spots where waterfalls go into the lake, mostly found during winter.

-On floor 4F of The Mines a rare chance of a pearl spawn. It's a bit easier to find them here if you have an item or pet that locates gems, like the hoe or the dog.

-Fish in the middle of summer, on sunny days with a purple shadow which means there is a high chance of pearls spawning!

When should you sell your pearls?

Sell them when they reach a high price , I would say keep them for when they're at least 25g each and sell all of them in one go.

The different types of pearls in Stardew Valley

There are a few types of pearls that you can find, they all have different specs.:

-Regular Pearls:

Rarity -Common.

-Golden Pearls:

Rarity -Uncommon. Can be found from fishing in the river only during summer and fall with a small chance of winter.

-Blue Pearls:

Rarity -Uncommon. Can be found from fishing in the river only during summer and fall with a small chance of winter.

-Rainbow Pearls:

Rarity -Ultra rare. Can be found from fishing in the lake during summers, falls and winters with an average HP spawn rate. They are also very good at selling for 50g each!

-Seahorses:

Rarity -Ultra rare. Found in the ocean only during the winter months.

When to use pearls?

Use Pearls when you have a lot of them and are at least 25g each, it's basically better then selling them for their gold value because they give you XP!

But make sure you sell them for more then 25g if you want to get the most out of them.

What you need to do with pearls?

Give pearls to your spouse, they will love it and give you hearts in return!

They also serve as a great gift because everyone likes them and they don't need to be cooked or anything.

The benefits of having a pearl in your inventory at all times

-They can be used to upgrade your tools and make them more efficient.

-They always sell for 50g each at the Blacksmith, making them a great way of earning money!

-You get XP from it also when you give one to your spouse (the amount differs depending on how many pearls you give).

-When you get married, your spouse will give you a Stardrop from their unique heart menu which is great!

My conclusion is I'm so glad they added this new type of item to the game, pearls are great both in terms of XP and money! They can be found easily but it takes some time so remember to fish every day!
