## Dungeons Tribes and Tribe Upgrades: how it works

A tribe is a team of up to 8 players that earns trophies together from active play. Trophies decide a weekly ranking and buy upgrades that boost every member.

**How to open it:** Type `/tribe create <name>` to start one and `/tribe invite <player>` to add friends. Use `/tribe` for info, top and upgrade, and `/gc` or `/tribechat` to talk.

There are 4 tribe upgrades, each with 10 levels.

- **Trophies**: Members earn 1 per hit, 50 to 250 per mob kill by rarity and 1,000 to 15,000 per boss.
- **Weekly race**: The trophy race resets every Saturday at 3PM Eastern, and the top 15 tribes are posted.
- **Trophy Boost**: +5% trophies per level.
- **Critical Strike**: 2% crit chance per level, up to 20%, and crits deal x1.25 damage.
- **Soul Boost**: +5% Souls per level for every member.
- **Essence Boost**: +4.5% Essence per level for every member.
- **Roles**: Tribes have a Leader, Co-Leaders, Captains and Members.

**Tips**

- Upgrade levels persist through the weekly reset, so early upgrades pay off all season.
- Upgrades cost Shards from the buyer plus trophies from the tribe's weekly pool.
- Stay at 8 members or fewer, because a tribe over the cap earns no trophies until it trims down.

Example: Soul Boost at level 10 gives 10 x 5% = +50% Souls to every member of the tribe.

## How tribes work

A tribe is a team of up to 8 players. Create one with /tribe create <name> and invite friends with /tribe invite <player>. Members earn trophies for the tribe from active play: 1 per hit, 50 to 250 per mob kill by rarity, 1,000 to 15,000 per boss, plus World Boss and mob event placements.
Trophies power a weekly competition that resets every Saturday at 3PM Eastern, when the top 15 tribes are posted. Unspent trophies also buy tribe upgrades: Trophy Boost, Critical Strike, Soul Boost and Essence Boost.

- Roles: Leader, Co-Leader, Captain, Member.
- Tribe chat: /tribechat or /gc.
- A tribe over the member cap earns no trophies until it trims down.
