Why you stalk me?

What else can I even say here?

Well I guess I should put something useful here:

Basic Information

I started playing in August or September of 2012 (very late I know). At least I still caught the Halloween holiday event.

My primary character is Avaknineeightnine. I spelled out the numbers, because Spiral Knights doesn't allow people to type in numbers in their character names. D:

I am in the guild, Skybreakers. Not a very well known or big guild, I know, but it has many friendly people. Besides I never got an invitation to a popular guild. :( But I'm fine with what I got.

If you want to friend me, first join me on some event or mission, because I do not like friending people for no reason. I usually delete friend messages from people who just randomly want to add me in Haven (I don't even know you!). Just join me on a Lockdown game, Blast Network game, or mission, so I can know who you are and say, "Hey, there's that guy who is amazing at running Royal Jelly Palace" or "Hey, it's that guy who sucks at running that mission but still is respectful/funny/interesting/not a beggar".

I guess you could see in my previous sentence that I also hate beggars. Well, I do hate beggars. Why go wasting time asking for something from other people when you can just try and get it yourself? Want more energy or a tab? Just wait an hour or a day, and you will get those mist. There is also this little thing called an Energy Market (wait no, that's not it, oh, it's an Energy Depot, whatever I never use that name anyway). Want crowns or heat? Just go run a mission. Even crazier are those people IN A MISSION that ask, "Hey, can I have 500 crowns?" For crying out loud, YOU ARE IN A MISSION WHERE YOU CAN GET THOSE CROWNS!

Equipment and Costumes

In the early 0* and 1* missions, I just used what the missions rewarded me with. In the early 2* missions, I used the Cobalt set. Then, I switched over to the Divine Veil, Skolver Coat, and Owlite Shield lines with the standard Calibur, Blaster, and Blast Bomb lines. This build pretty much provides you with defense against all damage types and many status effects AT THE 5* LEVEL. Before 5* though, it mainly provides Normal, Piercing, and Elemental Defense which I considered decent until I had to face Candlestick Keeps and Fiend Levels (ouch). I am currently still trying to craft my 5* versions. After getting these essentials down, I plan to branch out and get other more interesting equipment.

In Lockdown, I am currently equipped with a Tier 1 Circuit Breaker Set that provides Normal and Elemental Defense (which I consider very helpful as the only 0* and 1* weapons deal these two damage types). I feel the weapons in Tier 1 do not really differ from one another as they all mostly do the same damage (which is not much at all). I do not have a Tier 2 set, but I plan to use Gunslinger Hat and Dusker Coat for the weapon bonuses. I prefer to keep my weapons a secret. I also do not have a Tier 3 set, but I plan to have the Shadowsun Stetson and Skolver Coat for the weapon bonuses. Again, I prefer to keep my weapons a secret.

You will most likely see me in my costume of Jack O' Bombhead Mask and Hallow Fur Coat. I had a stroke of luck in getting that Jack O' Bombhead Mask from the Hallow Prize Box, so it is my most prized possession. I also really like how it looks. The Winterfest costumes are ok for me. I am mostly interested in the Frosty Fur Coat, Frosty Flak Jacket, and Humbug Hat, but even these are only ok in my opinion. The Frosty Fur Coat does not match with my Jack O' Bombhead Mask, and the Frosty Flak Jacket looks ugly compared to the Fur Coat. The Humbug Hat looks very nice, but I feel it is extremely hard to get. I also do not feel like using up 50-100k crowns in the Auction House for it.

Grinding For Crowns and Heat

First of all, I just want to say that the amount of crowns needed in this game later on is a pain (for the lack of a more severe and extreme cuss word).

Heat is not a problem compared to crowns! You can easily heat equipment up to level 10 while you grind for a ton of crowns, especially later on in the game.

After getting my 2* gear, I mainly focuses on grinding the Royal Jelly Palace levels for crowns due to their high crowns per energy payout. Later, I transitioned to just grinding the 1st 2 levels of Royal Jelly Palace for their even higher crowns per energy payout. I did that to get all the way to my 4* gear. As you would expect, it gets very boring doing it that many times, but there are not many other choices, especially without those levels past the 5* Hall of Heroes. Now I realize that you can grind the Prestige Missions for greater crowns per energy payout, but they are pretty tough as expected. Be sure to grab some party members if you are tackling it with 2* or 4* gear for the Tier 2 or Tier 3 versions.

Random Events To Share

January 19, 2013: I just found a stratum that gave out 4 crowns per Moonstone/Blue Mineral deposited in Gate Construction. This kind of price was really rare at the time. I was slowly clicking in my 450 Moonstones as it suddenly changed prices to 3 crowns per Moonstone (I was clicking because I like to keep 50 minerals after depositing the rest just in case of say a 5 crowns per mineral chance). I may be making a big deal out of this, but I WAS FINALLY GOING TO GET TO USE SO MANY MOONSTONES. They really need an option to customize what Auto Sell does.
