Spiral HQ isn’t quite finished with you ambitious knights yet! Based on feedback, we’ve decided that one map simply isn’t enough. To that end, we’ve asked our gremlin to help engineer the following changes to lockdown this weekend:
 +
 +
* '''New Map: Pipeline'''. This is a poison themed level to thwart knights who are ill-prepared. This map will still be available after the event is over, but will be seen fairly often for a while.
 +
 +
* Auto-Target is off.
 +
 +
* Control points once again have obstacles that will cause both teams a number of problems including status effects.
 +
 +
Side note:
 +
 +
On a Rocket Puppy map, be prepared to run from a hidden recon knight misdirecting rockets towards your face.

Thank you all so much for playing Spiral Knights! We've had a busy year at Grey Havens setting up a new home for Cradle. We're excited that we're now able to focus more on the development of the game.
 +
 +
This year has seen the addition of the Casino, new items for guild halls, new PvP modes, new events, new items, various bug fixes, and a few new PvP maps. It's our hope that next year brings even more from our gremlin engineers who are already hard at work.

Adventurous knights are constantly under pressure in the Clockworks. Few substances have the strength to handle it like Diamond. What better way to prove that than to use it as armor? As an added bonus, you’ll be able to blind your enemy with its flawless brilliance.

Grab your favorite caffeinated beverage and take a look at some of the changes and new additions you’ll find in the game:
 +
 +
'''Starlight Cradle levels can be found in T2 and T3.'''
 +
 +
- These levels are part of normal gate rotation, not a new mission set.
 +
 +
- These levels may contain a drowsy Sloom, the fearsome Sloombargo, and other slimes.
 +
 +
- You may also stumble across some optional danger rooms that will give you a run for your money.
 +
 +
- Gates will be cycled after release so that some starlight cradle levels are immediately available.
 +
 +
- Zee cores will now drop from these levels and can be used in the crafting of some new gear (see below).
 +
 +
'''Reintroduction of the “sleep” status.'''
 +
 +
- This has been reworked.
 +
 +
- Sleep will render a victim completely unresponsive until woken.
 +
 +
- Because sleep can be rejuvenating, you may notice a small (and limited) heal upon waking up.
 +
 +
- If you find yourself asleep and vulnerable, look to a party member to wake you up with “gentle” poke of a bullet or blade.
 +
 +
- Remedy should wake you from sleep. Think of it as a dose of caffeine.
 +
 +
- After sleep you will acquire an 'alert' status that protects you from sleep for a few moments.
 +
 +
'''New Helms and Armor'''
 +
 +
- Padded Demo Helm
 +
 +
- Padded Demo Suit
 +
 +
- Padded Hunting Cap
 +
 +
- Padded Hunting Coat
 +
 +
- Quilted Demo Helm
 +

- Quilted Demo Suit

- Starlit Demo Helm
 +
 +
- Starlit Demo Suit
 +
 +

 +

'''New Weapons'''
 +
 +
- Advanced Cautery Sword
 +
 +
- Amputator
 +
 +
- Slumber Smogger
 +
 +
- Slumber Smogger Mk II
 +
 +
- Slumber Squall
 +
 +
- Torpor Tantrum
 +
 +
'''Knight Statues are now available.'''
 +
 +
- If Bechamel is installed in a guild, she will now sell knight statues of knights for energy. When in Haven, Bechamel will not offer to sell statues.
 +
 +
- Statues are a furniture item depicting your knight wearing what you wore when you purchased it.
 +
 +
- There are multiple sizes of statues to purchase.
 +
 +
- Warning: Review all parts of the statute carefully in the preview window. There are no refunds for mistaken wardrobe choices or refunds if a particular accessory or aura does not display correctly.
 +
 +
- A guild may only have 8 statues placed in their hall at any given time.
 +
 +
- You may need to ‘publish’ your guild hall to get the new option from Bechamel.
 +
 +
'''Additional Changes:'''
 +
 +
- Guild officers and above can sell materials in their treasury to birdsong for half the normal price. This should help guilds clear unwanted items from their inventory.
 +
 +
- In Lockdown, the Guardian’s shield now has more health.
 +
 +
- A few changes to the chat filter to remove ‘Gay’ and ‘muff’. Be aware that it is still against the Terms of Service to use any of these words in a derogatory fashion and we will take action accordingly.
 +
 +
- Fixed some issues with placing furniture near the entrance of a guild hall.
 +
 +
- Fixed a small graphics glitch in Firestorm Citadel, Charred Court.

We are declaring a state of emergency in the Moorcroft Manor Archives, as black kats are once again storming the area and consuming the precious tomes within! We need all knights of rank 4-1 and greater to gear up and retrieve Ancient Pages from these voracious vermin.
 +
 +
Do the '''Kataclysmic Confrontation prestige mission''' and/or fight through kat levels in the Clockworks to find black kats. Then, visit Montague in Moorcroft Manor, or the Mysterious Crafting Machine in Haven, with your collection of Ancient Pages, and craft stuff:
 +
 +
*Kat Claw hood, mask, cowl
 +
 +
*Kat Hiss hood, mask, cowl

*Kat Eye hood, mask, cowl

If you happen to perform (accidentally, we assume) a Dark Ritual (yes, THAT dark ritual) and survive the encounter, you may find yourself in possession of a Black Kat Cowl or a Wicked Whisker. With Wicked Whiskers, dropped for all present party members, the following gear can be made:

Our new Kat Forecasting Intern predicts that the Kataclysmic Confrontation will run through '''August 3, 2017'''. Best of luck, knights!

With fall here and knights using their Style Kits, Haven is bursting with color. But once a knight descends into the Clockworks their decisions aren't black and white, they're somewhere in the Grey. With this in mind, Spiral HQ has put together a box for knights with singular tastes.
 +
 +
Dig into a Grey Prize Box and find a grey costumes, accessories, a grey footstep aura, or sprite pods. Lucky knights might find a Silver Personal Color that they can add to their Style Kit. This silver color change will not be added to Vatel’s inventory in Haven.
 +
 +
The Grey Prize Box contains items such as:
 +
 +
* Silver Personal Color
 +
 +
* Grey Aura
 +
 +

We have confirmed that the '''Apocrean Harvester''' has returned again. Spiral HQ needs your help!
 +
 +
From now through November 30th, travel onto the '''Grasping Plateau''' full of trapped souls and phantom-like monsters. In a maze-like graveyard, knights will find the Apocrea trapping and collecting souls. This sinister being will pursue any who enter the Grasping Plateau hoping to add to the collection. Work together to free souls and find '''Apocrean Sigil''' tokens which can be used at the Obelisk of Creation to craft Obsidian weapons and the Grasping Aura.
 +
 +
You don't want to get caught out there alone--definitely bring your friends with you on this mission, and try not to lose sight of them!
