How Social Features Help You Progress Faster (Even If You’re “Mostly Solo”)

Social systems give you three advantages that pure solo play can’t match:

• Consistency: A stable group clears content more reliably, which means fewer wipes, fewer wasted entries, and more rewards per hour.
• Efficiency: Party play shortens fights and reduces downtime—especially in boss and raid content—so your limited time-based or entry-based rewards become more valuable.
• Compounding benefits: Clan systems stack over time: donations become clan funds, clan funds become clan skills, clan skills become stronger rewards, and those rewards accelerate your entire account.

You don’t need to become a “hardcore guild player” to benefit. The smartest approach is simple:

• Use friends and parties to make your best content easier.
• Use a clan to turn small daily actions into long-term advantages.
• Use union/war systems when you want structured PvP and bigger weekly rewards.

Social Systems at a Glance: Friends, Parties, Clans, Unions

Legend of YMIR’s social tools fit into four layers:

• Friends: Your personal roster—quick invites, reliable teammates, and “recommended friend” suggestions around your level.
• Parties: Short-term teams for quests, farming routes, dungeons, bosses, and Expeditions.
• Clans (Guilds): Long-term progression groups with donations, support timers, skills, storage distribution, clan raids, and more.
• Unions: Alliances between clans—useful for larger-scale coordination and social stability on the server.

If you use all four layers correctly, you’ll spend less time looking for groups and more time actually earning rewards.

Friends: Build a Reliable Roster (So You Stop Depending on Randoms)

The Friends feature is simple, but extremely powerful when used intentionally. It lets you send friend requests, accept requests, and view recommended friends—on the same server. You can access it from Menu > Friend.

Why Friends matter for progression

Friends are not just for chatting. A reliable friends list is your shortcut to:

• faster party formation,
• better dungeon clears,
• consistent boss participation,
• and less time waiting in town.

Your best friend list strategy

Instead of adding everyone, build a curated roster:

• Add players who play at similar times (your “time-window teammates”).
• Add players who clear content cleanly (your “reliable clears”).
• Add 1–2 players from each role vibe (frontliner types, support types, high-uptime ranged types).
• Remove inactive clutter so your list stays useful.

Recommended Friends feature (use it smartly)

Recommended friends are usually around your level, which helps you find players who can:

• queue the same content,
• clear at similar speed,
• and progress without massive power gaps.

Quick habit that makes Friends actually useful

When you have a great run with someone (smooth boss, fast dungeon, no drama), add them immediately. That’s how you build an elite roster without effort.

Parties: The Fastest Way to Multiply Your Rewards Per Hour

Parties are your “instant co-op tool.” The party UI lets you:

• open Party Info,
• quickly create a party,
• and view a list of currently formed parties.

A key detail that helps you form groups faster:

• If you are not in a party, the list shows players available for party requests.
• If you are in a party, the list prioritizes showing party members—making it easier to check who’s in and who’s missing.

What parties are best for

• Boss content (public bosses, field bosses, scheduled bosses)
• Dungeons and group PvE
• Expeditions (boss hunts and raids)
• Valhalla runs (especially when contested or difficult)
• Farming routes where pulling and clearing speed matters
• Inter-server zones where safety comes from moving together

The biggest party mistake

Most players form a party and then never assign any structure. That leads to wipes and wasted time.

Your goal is not “perfect teamwork.” Your goal is basic roles and basic target discipline.

The 4 Party Roles That Make Every Run Easier (No Complicated Theory Needed)

You don’t need a strict tank/healer/DPS system to improve co-op. You just need responsibilities.

1) Anchor (frontline stability)

• Keeps the fight stable and predictable.
• Helps prevent the boss from spinning or wandering.
• Often a durable melee style.

2) Support/Tempo (survival windows)

• Uses utility at the right moments so the team doesn’t wipe.
• Stabilizes mistakes and prevents chain deaths.

3) Ranged Uptime (consistent damage while moving)

• Deals damage without feeding deaths.
• Handles adds or ranged mechanics cleanly.

4) Flex/Mechanics (the run saver)

• Takes responsibility for “things that wipe parties” like adds, objectives, and emergency recovery decisions.
• Adjusts based on what the party lacks.

If your party uses these roles—even casually—your clears become smoother immediately.

Party Best Practices: How to Play With Friends Without Wasting Time

Use two presets (minimum)

A big reason parties feel messy is that players enter hard content with farming setups.

• Farm preset: fast clear, convenience settings, easy AoE rotation.
• Boss/Dungeon preset: survivability, controlled skill usage, safer settings.

Party rule: Before boss/dungeon content, everyone switches to the boss preset.

Don’t “wander decide”

The fastest parties decide the session goal first:

• “We’re doing 3 expedition runs.”
• “We’re spending Valhalla time.”
• “We’re going to the boss window at X time.”
• “We’re doing a 20-minute farm loop.”

A party without a goal wastes time in town.

Keep routes tight

For tasks/requests/farming:

• stack objectives in one region,
• avoid long detours,
• regroup only at planned checkpoints.

Short callouts beat long speeches

The best party communication is simple:

• “Adds first.”
• “Move left.”
• “Save dodge.”
• “Reset and re-enter.”
• “Swap to boss preset.”

This keeps sessions fun and fast.

Clans (Guilds): The Real “Social Endgame” You Unlock at Level 15

In Legend of YMIR, guilds are called Clans, and they unlock at Level 15. A clan lets players on the same server create or join a group to enjoy benefits together. You access it from Menu > Clan.

A good clan is not just a chat room. It’s a progression engine with:

• donations and funds,
• time reduction support,
• clan skills that benefit all members,
• activity gifts from boss/raid participation,
• clan raids via Sanctuary of Bonding,
• storage distribution,
• a clan shop,
• war declarations and unions.

If you want maximum progression with minimum frustration, joining a good clan early is one of the best decisions you can make.

Choosing the Right Clan: The 6 Things That Matter Most

Don’t join the first clan you see. Join the right clan for your schedule and goals.

1) Activity level

You want a clan that:

• actually runs content,
• actually uses support systems,
• and doesn’t feel dead.

2) Skill development culture

A good clan invests in clan skills consistently. Clan skills are one of the biggest long-term benefits.

3) Fair reward distribution

If a clan uses storage distribution, you want:

• transparency,
• consistent rules,
• no drama.

4) Your time zone match

A slightly weaker clan that plays when you play is better than a strong clan you never overlap with.

5) Communication style

You don’t need constant voice chat. But you do need:

• basic coordination for big runs,
• clear event reminders,
• and respectful behavior.

6) Entry requirements that fit you

Clans can set minimum Combat Power and recruitment rules. Pick one that matches your current level—then grow.

Clan Donations: Small Daily Action, Big Long-Term Benefit

Clan donations are one of the best “free power multipliers” because they convert your daily habit into long-term clan strength.

What donations do

• Increase clan funds and support clan growth.
• Enable skill development and clan-wide benefits.

Important donation rule

Clan fund donations reset daily at 00:00 (Server’s Region Time).

That means if you donate daily, you compound faster than players who donate “sometimes.”

Best donation habit

• Donate once per day, right after login or right before logout.
• Treat it like brushing your teeth: quick, consistent, non-negotiable.

Clan Support: Free Time Reduction on Long Growth Systems

Clan support is one of the most underrated features because it literally saves time.

What support does

When you provide support, you can reduce the remaining time on a member’s:

• Norn’s Treasure, or
• Artifact.

There are support limits, and items that already received the maximum support can’t receive more.

Why this is huge

Time is currency in Legend of YMIR. Anything that reduces timers:

• accelerates upgrades,
• improves daily efficiency,
• and helps the whole clan progress.

How to use support for maximum benefit

• Give support daily (it takes seconds).
• Coordinate with clanmates: “I supported yours, support mine.”
• Use it on long timers, not tiny timers.

If your clan uses support consistently, your account will feel like it progresses faster “for free.”

Report Activity: Turn Normal Play Into Clan Growth

Report Activity lets you report your activities to the clan to earn:

• Clan Badge,
• Clan Funds,
• Clan EXP.

This is one of the best systems because it rewards you for doing what you already do: play the game.

Best practice

• Report activity daily—especially after you do bosses, raids, or major content blocks.
• Treat it like a daily “claim,” not an optional menu.

A clan that reports consistently grows faster, unlocks better skill levels, and becomes more rewarding for everyone.

Activity Gift: Boss/Raid Participation That Creates Extra Rewards

Activity Gift is a major clan benefit:

When a clan member participates in Boss or Raid content, loot is granted. This loot includes various items and Keys of Cooperation.

When enough Keys of Cooperation are collected, you can obtain a Cooperation Chest.

Why Activity Gift matters

It turns your normal boss/raid routine into:

• extra clan value,
• extra personal rewards,
• and stronger long-term clan progression.

The chest quality upgrade that many players miss

Increasing the Commodity Supply skill level raises the Cooperation Chest’s grade, improving rewards.

That means a “serious” clan doesn’t just farm bosses—they invest in the skill that makes those boss rewards better.

Best habit

• Participate in clan boss/raid activities consistently.
• Encourage skill investment that improves chest quality.
• Treat keys as a long-term loop: consistent participation = consistent bonus rewards.

Clan Skills: The Biggest Long-Term Benefit of Joining a Guild

Clan skills grant benefits to all clan members. This is one of the strongest forms of “social progression” because it’s permanent value over time.

How clan skills progress

There are two main actions:

• Cooperate: contribute currency or items to level up skills.
• Research: when a skill’s EXP reaches 100%, it can be researched to increase its level.

Research can only be performed by members with Master or Elder rank (depending on clan permissions).

Cooperation counts: the most important limit to understand

Cooperation counts can accumulate up to 24 times, and spent charges replenish over time.

After using all cooperation counts, additional contributions can be made using a Clan Skill Book.

Why this matters for you

• If you contribute consistently, you help raise skill levels that buff you permanently while you’re in the clan.
• If your clan is organized, skill growth becomes a steady power climb.

How to contribute without stress

• Pick one skill track your clan prioritizes and contribute daily.
• Don’t spread small contributions everywhere unless the clan specifically asks.
• If you’re new, ask which skills matter most for your clan’s goals (PvE, PvP, raids, economy).

Clan skills are the reason long-term players feel “ahead” even if they don’t grind endlessly.

Sanctuary of Bonding: Clan Raids and Weekly Boss Summons

The Sanctuary of Bonding is a special area where you can conduct Clan Raids. It requires Will of the Moon skill Level 5 to access the raid function properly.

Inside the Sanctuary, special items from the clan shop are used at summon sites to summon bosses:

• Calamity Crimson Claw: Lv45
• Bitter Cold Azure Claw: Lv55

Important rules

• Only the Clan Master can register/purchase these items.
• Purchase/registration limits exist:
• Calamity Crimson Claw: Lv45 can be registered/purchased twice per week
• Bitter Cold Azure Claw: Lv55 can be registered/purchased once per week
• These limits reset every Monday at 00:00 (Server’s Region Time).

Why this is a huge social benefit

Clan raids are a structured weekly progression event:

• predictable schedule,
• predictable boss access,
• and a clear reward pathway for active members.

Best clan raid habit

If your clan is organized:

• set one weekly “raid night,”
• show up with a boss preset,
• and treat it as your weekly power spike.

Even one consistent weekly clan raid can outperform many hours of random grinding.

Warehouse vs Storage: Two Clan Systems People Confuse

Clans have both Warehouse and Storage concepts, and each matters for different reasons.

Warehouse (clan funds tracking)

• Shows clan funds accumulated through donations, activity reports, and skill cooperation.
• Lets you view storing and withdrawal records of clan funds.

This is your “clan economy transparency” tool.

Storage (loot distribution)

Clan Storage is where loots delivered to the clan can be distributed to clan members.

Critical rule

Loot is stored for 10 days from the time of acquisition. Undistributed loot will be deleted when it expires.

This one rule changes how you should choose clans:

• A good clan distributes loot regularly.
• A messy clan loses loot to expiration, wasting everyone’s effort.

Best practice for members

• Check storage after big events.
• Claim or request distribution properly.
• Encourage consistent distribution schedules (daily or weekly).

Clan Shop: Real Value, With a 7-Day Unlock Rule

The Clan Shop lets members purchase items and skill books.

How it works (simple view)

• Regular members can spend Clan Tokens to buy items.
• Members with finance permission (Master, Elders, etc.) can register items by spending Clan Funds.

Important rule

The Clan Shop becomes available 7 days after joining the clan.

This means if you hop clans constantly, you keep resetting your access to shop value. If you want consistent progression benefits, avoid clan-hopping.

Smart approach

• Choose a clan you can stay with.
• Plan around the 7-day unlock.
• Use the shop for items that support your long-term growth, not impulse purchases.

Clan War: PvP Without PK Mode, With Real Costs

Clan War lets clans declare war on other clans. It requires Diplomacy skill Level 1.

Key war benefits

• Members of clans at war can engage in PvP without switching to PK mode.
• This makes PvP more consistent and structured.

War declaration rules you should understand

• War ends automatically after 3 days.
• Declaring war costs 30,000 Clan Funds.
• Clan funds spent on declaration are not refunded.
• You can cancel a declared war by visiting the opposing clan’s info page.
• The number of concurrent war declarations can be increased via clan skills.

Why this matters for progression

Clan war is not just “drama content.” It can be:

• structured PvP practice,
• a tool for controlling contested farming zones,
• and a way to build stronger PvP discipline as a group.

Best practice

Only join war-focused clans if you actually want that style. War requires organization and can create constant conflict. The rewards are real, but so is the commitment.

Union: Alliances Between Clans (Bigger Social Power)

A Union is an alliance with other clans on the same server. It also requires Diplomacy skill Level 1.

Important union rules

• Union join/cancel requests can only be made by the Clan Master or Elders with diplomacy permission.
• Union invite/cancel invitations can only be done by the Clan Master.
• Only the Clan Master can create a Union and set the symbol and border.
• Creating a Union consumes Diamonds.

Why unions matter

Unions make it easier to:

• coordinate bigger events,
• share information and schedules,
• create stable allies in PvP-heavy environments,
• and reduce the “random chaos” of open world competition.

If you’re not interested in large-scale content, unions are optional. If you want to participate in big server politics, unions are the backbone.

Clan Ranks and Permissions: How Real Clans Stay Organized

Clans function well when permissions are clear. Clan features mention roles like:

• Clan Master,
• Elders,
• and regular members.

Permissions matter for:

• researching skills,
• diplomacy actions (war/union),
• shop finance actions,
• and management settings.

Why this matters to you

If a clan feels chaotic, it’s often because:

• too many people have power,
• or nobody has clear responsibility.

A good clan typically has:

• a leader who sets direction,
• elders who manage skills and diplomacy,
• and members who contribute and show up.

If you’re choosing a clan, look for signs of organization:

• consistent announcements,
• clear rules for loot distribution,
• and consistent skill progression.

Managing a Clan: Recruitment Settings That Attract Better Members

If you’re a clan leader (or thinking about creating a clan), recruitment settings matter more than most people realize.

Clans can configure:

• Auto-join vs approval,
• minimum Combat Power requirement,
• and recruitment details.

Best recruitment strategy for growth

• If you want fast growth: set a reasonable minimum CP and approval.
• If you want high activity: prioritize players who play at your schedule window.
• If you want stability: avoid huge CP gaps that create “carry culture” resentment.

Also note that clan management includes options that can consume Diamonds (like changing clan name, symbol, or border). Plan those changes carefully.

Playing With Friends More Easily: Server/Clan Transfer and Fresh Starts

Sometimes the biggest social barrier is simply being on different servers. Legend of YMIR has run events/periods where features like Character Transfer and Clan Transfer become available so players can move servers with friends or bring a clan together (availability depends on the game’s schedule and event windows).

Smart approach

• If you and your friends are split: plan a transfer window together.
• Move as a group so you don’t strand players.
• Decide your main server based on activity level, time zone overlap, and clan options.

You don’t need to transfer to progress—but if your goal is “play together consistently,” aligning servers can be a massive quality-of-life improvement.

The Social Progression Routine: A Daily Checklist That Actually Pays Off

If you want to get real benefits from social systems without turning the game into chores, use this simple routine.

Daily (5–10 minutes total)

• Check friend list and invite 1–2 reliable players for your key run (if doing group content).
• Donate to your clan (resets at 00:00).
• Use clan support requests/gives (reduce timers).
• Report activity after doing meaningful content.
• If there’s storage loot, check if distribution is pending.

Weekly (30–90 minutes depending on your schedule)

• Do one clan raid session (Sanctuary of Bonding) if your clan runs it.
• Do one organized Expedition/raid block with clanmates (clean clears).
• Review clan skill progress and contribute cooperation when available.
• Participate in one war/event session if your clan is PvP-focused.

This routine is small, but it compounds fast—especially because clan skills and support timers stack value over time.

Common Social Mistakes That Waste Time (And What to Do Instead)

Mistake: Joining a clan and doing nothing

Do instead: donate daily + use support + contribute to skills occasionally. Small actions create big long-term gains.

Mistake: Clan-hopping constantly

Do instead: pick a stable clan so you can unlock shop access and benefit from long-term skill growth.

Mistake: Entering dungeons with random builds

Do instead: use presets. Switch to boss preset before serious content.

Mistake: Never adding good teammates

Do instead: add players after smooth runs. Build a reliable roster.

Mistake: No loot distribution discipline

Do instead: join clans with clear storage distribution habits, because loot expires after 10 days.

Mistake: War drama without purpose

Do instead: only join war-focused clans if you enjoy structured PvP. Otherwise, avoid war-heavy environments.

Fixing these mistakes often speeds your progress more than any “secret farming spot.”

BoostRoom: Turn Social Features Into Faster Progress (Without the Chaos)

BoostRoom helps you get the real benefits of social play without wasting time in messy groups.

With BoostRoom, you can get:

• a co-op plan that fits your schedule (duo, trio, 5-stack, or raid group sessions),
• role guidance for your class so your party clears feel smooth (anchor/support/uptime/flex),
• a clan growth plan (donations, support usage, skill contribution priorities),
• a weekly “social power spike” routine (clan raid night + expedition block + market cleanup),
• and practical advice to choose the right clan and avoid clans that waste your time.

The goal is simple: more rewards per hour, fewer wipes, and a social setup that makes the game feel easier—not more stressful.

FAQ

Do I need a clan (guild) to progress in Legend of YMIR?

You can progress without one, but a good clan makes progression smoother through donations, support timer reductions, clan skills, bonus rewards from activity gifts, clan raids, and shop value.

When can I join a clan?

Clans unlock at Level 15. After that, you can create a clan or join an existing one from Menu > Clan.

What’s the fastest way to find good teammates?

Use the Friends system: add players after smooth runs, and use the Recommended Friends list to find players around your level. A small roster of reliable players is better than 100 random names.

How do parties help with rewards?

Parties improve clear speed and survival, which increases rewards per hour and reduces wasted entries/time. Parties are especially valuable for bosses, dungeons, and Expeditions.

What is clan support and why is it important?

Clan support reduces remaining time on Norn’s Treasure or Artifact for clan members (within support limits). It’s one of the best “free value” systems because it saves time on long growth timers.

Why do some clans feel stronger even if they don’t grind all day?

Clan skills and consistent donations compound over time. A clan that uses cooperation and research consistently builds long-term power that benefits all members.

How does clan storage work and why should I care?

Clan storage holds loot delivered to the clan for distribution. Loot is stored for 10 days, and undistributed loot expires and is deleted—so good distribution habits matter a lot.

What is clan war and is it worth doing?

Clan war lets clans declare war and fight without switching PK mode. It can be great for structured PvP, but it costs clan funds and can create constant conflict—so it’s best for clans that actually want PvP.

What is a union and who can manage it?

A union is an alliance between clans. Diplomacy permissions matter: only clan leadership roles can request/join/invite, and only the Clan Master can create a union (which consumes Diamonds).
