Joe’s Journal, Volume 15

Why is it that so many players in big clans name themselves Chest Tracker or Chest Counter? It’s kind of an odd username, and even speaking as someone who is into chests of all types, I don’t get it. But I suppose it’s better than some of the names I see in Kingdom Chat… 

So I asked around, and it turns out that these accounts are used to encourage accountability among their members and ensure that everyone is contributing to the metrics set by the clan. Chest trackers come in many forms, but the gist of it is that the chest tracker account is opened daily, while connected to the tracking site or program, and the chests stored in the “gifts” section are automatically logged through an online tool. The tool assigns points to the value of chests and can provide insights into who is focusing on what in the clan.

Based on the data provided, trackers can also be used to determine what level of research (therefore troops) a player has available to them and can track clan member’s game progression. A very important aspect is that it can track whether players have gotten clan chests from special shops such as Union of Triumph, Olympus, and Ragnarok. If you’re reading this, here’s your reminder to ALWAYS prioritize clan chests whenever available, as well as research books if they’re an option.

Leaders often use the data trackers provide to help encourage continued growth and spot and correct inefficiencies. It is also helpful to be able to determine reward distribution, for clan resources and artifacts.

Chest Trackers are sometimes converted accounts of players who have left the game, or simply a new account started and moved into your clan. It is ideal to have the account be a larger one, so that they are producing resources and can be used to distribute resources produced or collected from clan chests to the members. Though having a chest counter does take up a space in the clan, it can be an extremely useful tool for clans who have high expectations for their members.

So there you have it! Some trackers are available for subscription, like chest tracker or total battle assistant, and others may take some more work to run properly, but all are great options for a clan that encourages fairness and participation among players.

Thanks 275,
