This page contains a lot of useful links where you can learn more about the game and how to play it!
Lots of information you may seek may be available here on the wiki. You can search for it using the search bar on the left. Another useful tool for looking up information is Google. You can find information across various Spiral Knights sites by searching for "spiral knights sword guide" if you're looking for a sword guide, for example. To limit your search to a single site, you can write site:url in your search. The previous example could be turned into site:spiralknights.com sword guide. For more tips on how to efficiently search the net with Google, see this article on search operators.
If you're new to the game, make sure to read Starting out, the New Player Briefing, and the in-game tutorial missions presented to you!
