|post content = Recent forays beneath the surface of Haven have turned up numerous dens that are home to a family of creatures we have designated "Wolvers". They are extremely agile and ferocious, and appear to travel in packs led by a stronger, more dangerous beast known as an "Alpha Wolver". Any knights who are adventuring underground are strongly advised to read up on these dangerous foes and, if confronted by one on a mission, to shoot first and worry about reading the wiki later!

|post content = Large deposits of mysterious minerals have recently been spotted throughout the Clockworks! Spiral HQ has begun utilizing these exceptional elements to construct new subterranean gates for knights to explore in Haven's Arcade, and you can help! Any knight who happens across a supply of these minerals is asked to collect them and immediately transport them to the Arcade. In the meantime, we suggest you read more on what we know about these minerals and how we've been using them to construct gates so that you're fully prepared!

Familiarizing yourself with these and other weapons and armor will be key to your survival on this new world! Other weapons of particular interest to new arrivals include the Punch Gun, which has been adapted from a tool used to blast open pod doors, and the Slime Slasher, which is a heavily-modified entrenching tool suitable for combat use against slimes. The wiki has more info on the full range of arms and armor for those of you who are particularly thorough knights!

|post content = One of the major challenges Spiral HQ has faced after the crash is the question of trade for basic supplies with this new world's inhabitants. Thankfully, this question was answered for us very early on, as many of you have proven quite adept at acquiring Crowns, the local currency! It won't be long until you're all swimming in "shinies" yourselves, so today we're going to help make certain that you can tell a 1-Crown piece from a 50-Crown piece, lest you end up risking life and limb in the Clockworks over a sum too small to buy anything from a vending machine!

|post content = After nearly four years of development, Spiral Knights has officially launched today. This is a huge moment for me, the Spiral Knights team and all of Three Rings and I am so happy to be able to share it with them. I consider myself privileged to be among the ranks of the very talented Spiral Knights team. Creating this game was a really fun and rewarding experience. I think everybody involved learned a great deal as we are a very small team, so wearing lots of hats was a requirement.

|post content = Tread with caution when you enter the slime-covered halls of the Royal Jelly Palace. Recon Knights have gathered that this ancient, open-air castle has been overtaken by a legion of slimes, the most fearsome of which is a 'Royal Jelly.' Like any unruly king, it has a short fuse and loves to throw its weight around. We cannot be certain under what lineage or authority this oozing aristocrat claims noble descent, but we would still caution those traveling in its palace to stay vigilant and come prepared with Poison vials and weapons, in addition to a full complement of knights!

Knights are ordered to infiltrate this harrowing complex of devious destructive devices and put an end to 'Project Roarmulus' as well as recover a recon module of the Alpha Squad. Take heed though, gremlins don’t exactly believe in a 'safe' work environment.

The requests are, of course, many and varied; however, one of the frequently requested features for the game has been pets. <br><br> We've been exploring some ideas that combine elements of a pet-like feature to increase the variety and type of play available to players.

|post content = A new set of random levels have been added to the Clockworks, known as the Compounds. The Compounds feature the remains of some sort of unknown facility, where more intelligent monsters await, harvesting resources or perhaps attempting to power up the derelict machinery. However, just outside the confines of the facilities, hordes of mini monsters await in the brush, waiting to strike. <br><br> The Compounds are unique in that they combine two monster families and only appear in Tier 2 and 3 of the Clockworks.
+
Currently, Compounds levels will only appear in the Arcade but will be added to some missions in future updates.

Experienced knights shouldn't have much of a problem dealing with them, but beware, minis are prone to swarm in packs dozens strong. <br><br> - Dust bunnies: These beast-family minis are a hopping mad mess of fangs and fur. They are always hungry. <br> - Glop drops: The newest member of the slime family will slowly ooze their way toward their prey as a nasty blanket of spikes. <br> - Grave scarabs: These undead insects are always on the lookout for fresh corpses. Their limited flight signals their attacks.

When an item is ready to level up, open the Forge and select the item. The item will require a certain number of a specific fire crystal to level up. However, in some cases there is a chance the forge will not succeed and the fire crystals will be lost. No heat is ever lost due a failed forging. <br><br> Additionally, players have the option to add more than the requisite fire crystals in order to improve the odds of a successful forge as well as the chance to gain a special bonus. <br><br> Fire crystals may be purchased in stacks in the Supply Depot, acquired via missions or found as loot in treasure blocks.

This page includes sources of news and various post contents.

Notes

In-game:

  • Every time the player logs into a knight, there will be a popup with information on current events if there are any going on. Otherwise this popup is just general advertising for the game.
  • Usually accounts will receive a Mail that talks about Patch Notes and other recent things. The player's knight will have a Mail symbol on the Log In screen (this doesn't always mean news - friends could have sent a message, or it might be about something from the Auction House).
  • Read the region chat. Player gossip in the Town Square of Haven is a great source of rumors about recent changes, anecdotes, and other players who might be wondering about things.
Sometimes Game Masters will talk about the game in the region chat. Their chat text is colored lavender-purple. This is not always news, but hints tend to be dropped. Sometimes they will pose in the most recent Prize Box costumes.
  • Server reboots will be announced in game-wide chat. This text is pink, and it will usually say why the server is being rebooted - maintenance, update, etc.

The topic of this article or section is subject to personal opinion, and does not represent any one absolute truth. If you disagree, discuss your concerns on the the talk page before editing. Prepare yourself:

  • Be part of the new stuff. If the Test Server is open, and you qualify, participate in the testing and give feedback on the provided relevant forum thread. Get an idea of what's coming before it gets here.
  • As a general last resort, don't be afraid to ask support for help - if you hear someone telling you about a weird new thing, but can't find any information on it anywhere after doing a thorough search, that might be something called a "scam" and support will clear up your doubts.
