−
* [[Armor]], [[Helmet]]: Equipment which adds defense to the Knight. They can also be equipped as costume armor, making a fashion statement while pummeling monsters in the Clockworks. Armor and helmets equipped as costume armor will not affect a Knight's ability to attack or defend, and they cannot be [[heat|leveled]] up unless it is equipped as actual armor.
+
**Natural - sorts things by star order, then level order, and then by name (minerals are sorted in the order they are seen in the gate construction interface)
−
* [[Trinket]]: Small accessories that grant a small bonus to the Knight. They can only be equipped when a Trinket Slot is activated.
+

Icon-arsenal.png
A starting knight's arsenal. Other arsenal categories not included in this image will only show up if the Player has an item that qualifies to be in that category- Furniture and Costumes are examples of this.

The Arsenal is where knights store all their equipment, materials, minerals, and everything else they find while adventuring on Cradle.

Players can quickly access the arsenal by pressing the I key. Knights with a large arsenal can make use of the search function to quickly find items. There is currently no limit to how much a knight can can store in their arsenal.

When adventuring in the Clockworks, a knight's arsenal becomes 'locked' and weapons and equipment can only be changed in Clockwork Terminals and subtowns, or at an Arsenal Station.

Using the Arsenal

After opening your arsenal, you can do the following things:

  • Click on the bar labeled "Sort" at the top of your arsenal to select how the items are ordered. The arrow next to the option shows if it is ascending or descending order, click on that option again to switch it. The options are:
    • Natural - sorts things by star order, then level order, and then by name (minerals are sorted in the order they are seen in the gate construction interface)
    • Name - alphabetical by item name
    • Stars - numerical by star rating
    • Level - numerical by item level
  • You can left-click an item in your arsenal for a menu allowing you to do things like equip and unequip, compare to other items, or activate them; the menu will be different depending on the type of item. Items such as materials do not have a left-click menu.
  • Mouseover items for the item information. Equipment shows its description and stats; recipes will show the item stats and the ingredients; and the other items will show their descriptions.
  • For equipment, you can compare items of the same type. To compare an item, click to compare, and then mouseover other items of that type in your inventory. The information for both items will open, so you can easily compare their stats. To stop comparing that item, click the item again and choose don't compare.
