When manual counting is enough
Very small clans can sometimes count chests and gifts by hand for a short period, especially when the goal is only a rough activity check.
Guide
Total Battle chest counter for clan leaders
A chest counter can help a small clan understand gift activity, but manual counting gets harder as members, requirements, and scoring periods grow. Runekist turns that counting work into automatic chest/gift tracking.
Manual chest counting is simple at first.
Spreadsheets become fragile when several leaders update them.
Automatic tracking is better once requirements and standings matter.

How clans usually count manually
Leaders usually scroll gift records, write totals into a sheet, ask for screenshots, and reconcile differences when several people update the same data.
Where manual counting breaks
Manual records become harder to trust when leaders miss gifts, update formulas differently, or need to compare members across multiple periods.
When to switch to automatic tracking
Switch when requirements, disputes, promotions, or seasonal competition make accurate chest/gift standings more important than the time saved by staying manual.

FAQ
Common questions
How do Runekist credits work?
One collected chest/gift uses one credit. New clans receive 150,000 free starter credits, and additional credits can be added later.
Do clan members need to create Runekist accounts?
Leaders can track chest/gift contribution without every player creating an account. Some member workflows work better with accounts, but public standings may use the names available from the clan data.
Can Runekist replace a spreadsheet?
Yes. Runekist is designed to replace manual spreadsheet counting with automatic collection, scoring rules, requirements, and period standings.
