The Questing Clan of RuneScape (QC) aka "Clan Quest" is a clan that organizes all serious Questers into one community. Clan Quest's aim is to create a community of players who have completed, or strive to complete, every Quest and Achievement Diary in RuneScape. The QC as a group serve as a resource to any RuneScape Player. They exist to help players solve quests, complete diaries, and provide assistance to anyone who has not obtained their Quest Point Cape. Every one of its registered members aspires to complete (and maintain the completion of) every Quest and Diary. Many of its members are avid followers of RuneScape Lores, and all are experienced RuneScape players.


 * - "We are not your skillers, your pvp-ers, or your merchers. We are a more elite band of RuneScape players. We are the adventurers. We are the people who write the guides that others read."

The Questing Clan of RuneScape does not have any interest in inter-clan conflict, holds no combat requirements and does not specifically require in game participation of its members other than presence in the Clan Chat Channel. Functioning as a mature group, they focus on bettering themselves - both in RuneScape and in the real world.

Clan Purpose
The Questing Clan of Runescape, is two things. It is a company. It is a clan. Both things have unique, yet overlapping purposes:
 * In accordance with its function as a company, any Runescape player who seeks aid on a quest is encouraged to enter the Clan Chat "Clan Quest" and seek assistance.
 * As a clan, it seeks to provide an increase in enjoyment and ease in playing the game in the following ways:
 * Provide knowledge and assistance to members on all things game related
 * Provide frequent non-mandatory events, allowing players to participate in minigames and distractions with the clan.
 * Provide unique non-mandatory events to engage the members in social activities
 * Providing a friendly and engaging atmosphere with which to exchange ideas about the game.

Quest Help
The RuneScape forums get a new thread about players creating a Quest Help Clan approximately twice a week. These "cc's" normally last less than 3 days due to lack of interest or number of members, and as a result, are most often disbanded.

Clan Quest, however, has been around for significantly longer than 3 days, has over 80 members that own the quest cape, and continues to serve as RuneScape's 'Quest Help' clan chat channel. Any player is welcome to enter clan chat 'Clan Quest' for any quest questions they may have, and the members of Clan Quest are more than willing to help.

Providing Questing assistance is and will always be the predominant goal of Clan Quest's community.



Community
Clan Quest, as well as serving as a reference cc, is also a social clan for anyone who is a "Quester." Quest cape owners are encouraged to join the cc, as Clan Quest is a community of players who share very similar interests.

In-Game
In the Runescape game, Clan Quest provides many services to encourage community activity and support for all members. Besides Quest support which is always offered, Clan Quest provides regular events, has an event team which organizes impromtu events, and the core members are always willing to assist a member in anything if help is requested.

The willingness of most of Clan Quest's members to help any other member no questions asked has earned it a formidable reputation within the Clan Community of Runescape. Individual who are bothered by trolls, have their resources crashed, die and need a grave blessing, need assistance in XP grinding, or any other possible types of assistance find they need only request assistance, and an army responds.

Outside of Game
Outside of the actual game, Clan Quest provides services to its members in a multitude of venues. With an impressive offsite, an active forum community, IRC, Voice Channel, and even Real World meetings, the community of Clan Quest's members are very active, and provide a significant amount of support and engagement.

Adopt a Noob Foundation
The Adopt A Noob Foundation

Currently under construction, the Adopt A Noob Foundation, will allow community players to compete in who is the greatest helper in Runescape.

The Clan Quest Noobness
To a visitor of the Clan Quets channel, some of the clan's “practices” may seem very curious. Most important amongst these is the tendency for members to call each other noobs. “Noob” while used in Clan Quest, is a term of endearment; frequently used in friendly banter and to acknowledge a player's favorite friends in the clan. If you are called a noob in Clan Quest, rest assured this is a good thing. Keep in mind, you may be a noob, but you are their noob. They take this very seriously! Also, feel free to call any of members of clan quest noobs (as long as you remain polite) and please bear in mind their intentions if you are addressed as a noob while visiting.

Included in the practice of calling people noobs, you may find that many of their members possess nicknames including Noob (or some variation) in their name. Ex: Tohtli (Nubhtli), The Rerecros (The Noobecros), Bigg Doggg (Bigg Nubbb), The Draziw (The Boon), Skills2Quest (Skills2Noob), Anamona (Anamonub), Bobacupcake (Bobanubcake). Clan Quest members are encouraged to assume a “Clan Name” which includes Noob in some context.
