In the deep dark below, beyond the space where time wakens and yawns, beyond the shadows cast by the great leviathan of eternity, the Apocrea stir. Within cities where geometry and madness share meaning, constructed from thought, from unnatural impulse, the Apocrea dream dark machines into being. Only souls keep these engines roaring, heard screaming across distant stars. Only souls can fill their void, sublime in its vast emptiness. Oh such beautiful souls! Bright and vibrant like fruit warming on the branch from a summer’s sun, longing for the pull of the earth below, the chance to seed and grow and birth anew. What terrible naivety! What utter farce! All of them mere crops against their relentless scythe! Though they may steal sanctuary in the cracks and corners of their terrible realm, it is ever fleeting. The blinding gaze of the Apocrea is boundless. The daylight, the starlight; all hope is merely waiting for their dark shroud to return this cosmic play to its primordial black. Dear heavens! The stars grin down with lustful intent! It is an abomination, an embodiment of sublime beauty, dark and blooded! I weep and laugh before the shroud that waits! Nuul-duggath, I am seared in your gaze oh Apocrea, teeming filth of ages! Nyarrlotth-MORG! (The remaining pages are a series of indecipherable symbols and patterns, seemingly drawn with great haste.) - Recovered from the journal of Prof. Allister Danford, Dean of Antiquities
'Shroud of the Apocrea' is a new, repeatable* Prestige Mission for knights available for a limited time. In Shroud of the Apocrea, several capable knights have gone missing in a seemingly normal area of the Clockwork Tunnels. Spiral HQ suspects foul play and has assigned you to investigate the level. You must be at least Rank 4-1 to access the Shroud of the Apocrea mission.
Tokens:
Materials:
Weapons:
These new items can only be obtained in Shroud of the Apocrea, though getting them will not be easy. Only truly courageous knights will be capable of obtaining a full set of Obsidian weapons!
An exceptional curiosity has arrived in the Supply Depot and is available to you through November 3, 2013, the Obsidian Prize Box. Plucked from the depths of the Apocrean realm, Obsidian Prize boxes are almost certainly guaranteed to not induce madness upon ownership. There is literally almost no chance you will hide one deep within your family cellar and pour over its intricate, arcane craftsmanship. And opening one will not in any way unleash a terrible, ancient entity from a world of unending, dark dreams into your own. No, instead, the Obsidian Prize Box contains an assortment of unique and very rare Apocrean treasures. These ageless, undying antiquities include: 97% chance for one of the following costume items:
2% chance for the following accessory:
1% chance for the following accessory:
Plus a bonus chance for even more prizes!
All contents of the Obsidian Prize Box are unbound. Full details can be found here.
Through November 3, 2013, join the Strangers in celebrating the Dark Harvest Festival! This annual tribute to the Punkin King ensures an abundant fall harvest. Collect candy tokens from the mischievous Punkin King himself, then trade with Maskwell in Haven Town Square for Frankenzom, Spookat, and Phantom masks, or for Harvest Prize Boxes. You can find the Punkin King through the daily prestige mission, The Dark Harvest. He may also surprise you at random in the Clockworks, so be ready! More about the Dark Harvest Festival, including Harvest Prize Box contents can be found here.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I've recently acquired quite a curious relic from a lost era of history. It has the most fascinating markings. The more I study them the more they seem to shift, as if... alive? No, no that can't be. I've simply been working too hard... |

Today, many exciting changes have arrived to Spiral Knights! Many of these changes were previously explained in detail here. Please read the following patch notes carefully as they outline some significant changes and important, new features to the world of Spiral Knights.
Battle Sprites are new combat companions that all players can acquire by completing a new series of Rank 2 missions upon reaching Haven. These missions teach players about Battle Sprites and allow them to try out each of the three starter sprites before ultimately choosing one to keep. The three starter Battle Sprites are the fiery Drakon, the divine Seraphinx, and the shadowy Maskeraith; each with their own unique powers that will become more powerful as the sprite levels up and evolves! Just remember to feed them materials or food crafted from the Lab so your sprite can level up faster, evolve and gain new skills. You can read the original Battle Sprite announcement here. More information on Battle Sprite Skills can be found here and here. Additional Battle Sprite Info:
The Biotechs of the Spiral Knights have finally got the Lab up and running! Head on over to the Haven Garrison and learn more about Battle Sprites and what the Spiral Knights have discovered about the world of Cradle. The Lab also includes an ensemble of NPCs related to Battle Sprites:
Players may now choose one of three difficulty levels when taking on missions or expeditions:
New materials have been added. These include:
Equipping items is now limited by your Mission Rank:
Any equipment bound before this patch will become your new current equip limit. For example. A knight who had only completed missions through Rank 3 but had 4 star gear equipped will be able to equip gear 4 star and below until achieving Rank 8.
Energy is no longer required to use alchemy. A new type of item, ‘Orbs of Alchemy,’ have replaced energy associated with alchemy. There are five orbs of alchemy in all:
Orbs of alchemy may be purchased in unbound stacks from the Supply Depot, acquired via missions or as rare loot in treasure blocks.
Items that acquire heat will no longer automatically level up when enough heat is required at the end of a level. Instead, a new type of item called ‘Fire Crystals’ must be used within a new interface called ‘The Forge’ in order to level up your items. Fire crystals include:
The Forge can be accessed in town or at any arsenal station. 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. 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. These bonuses include:
Fire crystals may be purchased in stacks in the Supply Depot, acquired via missions or found as loot in treasure blocks.
A number of recipes have had their crafting requirements changed in order to better balance out the usage of both new and old materials: Handguns
Swords
Bombs
Armor
Helms
Shields
New items have been added to the Supply Depot:
All existing players have been sent rarities based on their current Mission Rank. Each player will receive exactly the total number of rarities they would have otherwise received from missions as of this update. All items are bound.
We believe that these new changes represent a significant improvement to the world of Spiral Knights. We look forward to seeing you raise your new battle sprites into powerful combat allies, forge powerful items and explore the Clockworks to your heart’s content. But that’s not all! We’ve got plenty more surprises in store for the future. So gear up and prepare for more of what you love from Spiral Knights: cooperative, action*packed adventures with your friends in a world unlike any other! (Just be sure to feed your sprite before you leave.) |

In order to help combat the ever-growing threat within the Clockworks, all Knights can now use two powerful abilities: the evasive dash and the stunning shield bash! Both abilities have default mappings in each control scheme or can be set in Custom Controls.
The dash provides a burst of speed and limited invulnerability, allowing a knight to evade the damage caused by enemy attacks but not damage from hazards and traps. After performing a dash, there is a cooldown that must be endured before it can be performed again. This cooldown can be seen just above the quickslot bar when a dash is performed. A knight dashes in the direction the knight is currently moving, or if standing still, the direction the knight is facing.
The shield bash is used to rush one or more enemies, doing a small amount of damage, knocking them back and stunning them for a limited time. A shield bash requires a shield with full power to perform. Additionally, after performing a shield bash, your shield is drained of some of its power. A shield bash is always executed in the direction you are facing.
As part of the continuing push to improve the visuals of Spiral Knights, item pills and icons have been updated to show much more detail.

A new fiend has been summoned from the Underworld to swell the ranks of the devilite workforce: the gluttonous gorgo! Gorgos are bulbous fiends who are constantly on the lookout for their next meal. Within the Underworld they are among the lowest in the fiendish pecking order and are used as a twisted form of motivation for white collar devilites. For those that don't work hard every day will eventually become a terrible gorgo; their bodies bloating and their two eyes forming into one, because why waste all that extra energy blinking both? Gorgos will now appear alongside their devilite coworkers in any fiendish encounter within the Clockworks and come in the following varieties:
Greavers have been newly classified as elite monsters, much like mecha knights and gremlin thwackers. Designed to pose a greater challenge, the already challenging greavers have received a health boost and will now be less prone to showing up in large swarms.
We've added a new way to set your controls in the options menu! For new players, the option to choose a control scheme will appear after creating your character! For existing players installing the game on a new machine or for those who have never changed their controls, the option to choose controls will appear just after logging in. If you'd like to change your controls at any time, you'll find the new options under "Controls" in the options menu! Please note: choosing a new default control scheme will override any customized controls. Of course, you can still customize your controls with the Custom scheme option!

A new class of monsters known as 'minis' now roams the Clockworks. Experienced knights shouldn't have much of a problem dealing with them, but beware, minis are prone to swarm in packs dozens strong.
Minis will appear in select levels of the Clockworks and will eventually find their way into many more in future updates.
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. Compounds levels include:
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.

The Kataclysmic Confrontation has ended... for now. Those black kats cannot be kept at bay for ever and will likely find a way to return from the depths of the abyss once more! Pembrooke, Montague and the Moorcroft Alchemy Station will remain in Moorcroft Manor and all tokens and materials associated with the event do not expire.

Someone or something has summoned a horde of cursed black kats into the Clockworks. These shadowy beasts hunger for arcane power and raided the Moorcroft Manor Archives' precious collection of magical grimoires.
Kataclysmic Confrontation is a new event that will run for a limited time but will return again some time in the future. The goal of the event is to collect Ancient Page tokens for all-new kat gear in Moorcroft Manor. The event is available for knights rank 4-1 and up. Ancient Page tokens can be acquired in two ways:
Black kats are a new monster that focus on powerful curse attacks. They can randomly be found in place of any spookat-type monster in any Tier 2 and Tier 3 level level of the Clockworks (Missions and Arcade Gates). Black kats often, but no always, drop Ancient Page tokens (1 token in Tier 2, 3 tokens in Tier 3). Specifically, any 'guaranteed encounters' of black kats in a mission do not drop page tokens, though the mission guarantees them as rewards (once a day).
Moorcroft Manor is now outfitted with the Moorcroft Archives, a special library of ancient grimoires. Unfortunately just as soon as it opened it was raided by a mysterious swarm of black kats and its up to you to help restore it. New Features:
Pembrooke, Montague and the Moorcroft Alchemy Station will remain after the event ends.
Remember, the only way to claim this new gear is by hunting down black kats and collecting those Ancient Page tokens. So equip yourself with curse-resistant gear and get hunting!
A new feature is now available for Guild Halls, 'themes' and 'environments.' Both allow your Guild Hall to stand out and give it a totally new feel! Themes change the lighting, walls, floor, fog and background of the Guild Hall. Available themes include:
Environments change the weather and other ambient effects of the Guild Hall. Available environments include:

Impostoclaus has come to town but unfortunately not every child will be receiving a present from him. In the gremlin outcast town of Emberlight, a faction of fiendish, green-furred gremlins called 'grinchlins' have begun an attack on Emberlight. These grinchlins seek to rob the orphans of Emberlight of their presents and even destroy Impostoclaus! It's up to you to accept the new Prestige Mission, 'Save Winterfest!' and help Impostoclaus deliver presents through a monster infested back alley of Emberlight. Knights have only a limited time to run presents to safety, avoiding monsters who mean to steal the presents as well as defending Impostoclaus from grinchlin attacks! 'Save Winterfest!' is a unique Prestige Mission as it can be completed as often as you like while available. Delivering presents successfully rewards the party with Winter Wish tokens.
Battle over a snow-swept cityscape where the snow is not just for shoveling, but great for throwing at other knights! Features:
Participation in the 'Save Winterfest!' Prestige Mission and Coliseum events will earn you Winterfest rewards in the Haven Town Square. Visit Impostoclaus and his little helper, Randolph to cash in Krogmo Coins and Winter Wishes for the following:
And more!

Spiral Knights has received a significant performance boost! SEGA has shared with OOO the secret of ‘Blast Processing’ and it has result in faster, smoother gameplay across the board! (Ok, maybe we just introduced a bunch of graphical optimizations.) Many players will find they now have greatly increased framerates in even the most hazardous of levels, such as the Ironclaw Munitions Factory. Please note that this boost will not necessarily be noticeable by every player, though some will see a dramatic change. If you had problems running the game in the past, or know someone who did, now is the time to jump back in and see the action in a whole, new way!
New items are now available that allow you to change your height and eyes. These items work just like Personal Color items and are consumed once used. Eyes change your eye type across any helm you wear, however not all helms allow you to see your eyes, like the Spiral Pith Helm. Height Modifiers only affect the visual height of your knight and have no gameplay implications of any kind. They do not make you a larger/smaller target, offer greater/reduced reach, etc. [Height Modifiers]
[Eyes]
These items are available via lockboxes with the exception of the Normal, Short and Tall Height Modifier and Normal, Almond, Determined and Happy Eyes, which are for sale in Vatel’s shop in the Bazaar.
A new lockbox will now randomly drop from the Prize Wheel, the Mirrored Lockbox. The Mirrored Lockbox contains an assortment of character modification items. These include:
New items are available inside Iron Lockboxes. These include:
Additionally, there is a small chance of it containing one item from the Mirrored Lockbox.
When a charge attack has reached 'max charge,' it can no longer lose charge to damage, only to death. Players who had experienced 'missing' bombs or charge attack misfires will no longer experience these issues.

The first Expansion Mission, Operation Crimson Hammer, has arrived! Warmaster Seerus is the evil master of munitions within the gremlin's all-powerful Crimson Order. Thought to be the true mastermind behind the Roarmulus Twins and countless other gremlin weapons, he is the Crimson Order’s creator and supplier for their diabolical engines of war. Recon Knights under the command of Lieutenant Feron recently discovered Seerus’s ‘Grand Arsenal,’ his development center and storage facility for all his weaponry. Now, Feron himself is leading several squads of knights directly into the Grand Arsenal, with the intention of weeding out Seerus and destroying his war machines. Met with heavy resistance, Feron’s squads require reinforcements and Spiral HQ is sending you in to assist.

Today's patch features the official release of Missions! This patch includes Rank Missions through Rank 6-2. More exciting missions will be released in the future!
Missions provide players with a a structure for navigating the world of Spiral Knights. Each mission features a reward that is guaranteed with completion in addition to the rewards acquired during the mission itself. Missions range from simple tasks like speaking with an NPC to going on an a major expedition within the Clockworks. One of the key features of missions is that everything is managed within the mission interface. You will never find yourself searching a town for NPCs or left to wonder what to do next. When you’re looking for action, simply open up the mission interface and away you go! Additionally, the Character Select interface now includes the ‘Ready Room.’ The Ready Room is where your knight chooses where to go after selection. You can chat with friends and guildmates, check out your Social Panel and Event Hub, head in to town or go directly on a mission. There are four types of missions: Rank, Prestige, Expansion and Arcade.
Rank Missions serve the main campaign of Spiral Knights. Comprised of over 80 missions, Rank Missions will allow a player to rise in the ranks of the Spiral Knights. Starting as a lowly Recruit, knights can ultimately achieve the mighty rank of Vanguard. Rank Missions also feature a new way of acquiring the recipes that you need. In each Rank Mission lobby you will find Basil selling a set selection of recipes that are geared toward the mission you are about to face. Additionally, Rank Missions have you regularly visiting the ‘Hall of Heroes’ where players can see veteran knight loadouts and purchase their recipes for their gear. The Hall of Heroes also serves as a stage for certification, requiring players have a loadout of a set star level to advance, much like the Spiral Warden’s requirements in subtowns. Any knight that had a particular Tier Clearance prior to this patch will still be able to access the appropriate Tier in the Clockworks. Knights without Tier 2 and 3 Clearance prior to this patch must complete Rank Missions in order to gain clearance.
Prestige Missions are offered to you daily and can only be completed once a day. These missions reward you with ‘prestige’ which acts as a running score attached to your knight. Knights with high prestige will earn a special bonus in the future.
Expansion Missions are bonus missions that can be unlocked with purchase. Expansion Missions, like Rank Missions, feature set rewards and can be played as often as you like once unlocked. Some expansion missions are a ‘pack’ of missions and provide you with a version for different tiers that feature unique rewards. Our first Expansion Mission pack, 'Operation: Crimson Hammer,' will be released in the near future.
Arcade Missions provide you with the convenience of creating and joining parties in the Arcade directly from the mission interface. However, the Arcade must still be visited to deposit minerals.
The Supply Depot is a new feature that is connected to the mission interface. The Supply Depot is a place where players can purchase items associated with missions with energy. This includes accessories, weapons, gear, upgrades and even energy packs. However, items in the Supply Depot must be earned. Items are added to your personal Supply Depot as you rank up. Achieve the highest rank you can and build the ultimate Supply Depot!

Argent Peacemaker:

The following handguns now push enemies away on charge attack instead of pulling them toward you;
Something has riled up the gremlins in the Clockworks, causing them to send out even the littlest ankle-biters of the bunch to join their front lines! A new series of levels called 'Gremlin Grounds' will now appear in the Clockworks. New gremlin monsters will now appear in Gremlin Grounds and missions:
Don't be fooled by their diminutive size* these horrible helpers will turn their tools against any knight they cross! |

Featured Auctions are special auctions run by the Haven Treasury. They often contain unique or rare items. Featured Auctions can be buyout only with set quantities.

They will also appear in standard category searches. The following items will be immediately available in Featured Auctions:

Many levels within the Clockworks now feature 'Arsenal Stations' that allow you to change your gear or loadouts before facing the challenges of a level. So long as you have a wide variety of equipment, a difficult stratum with varying themes will be no match for your arsenal! There are also one-way barriers positioned after each Arsenal Station. Choose your equipment wisely and use loadouts to save time!
Energy reviving now comes coupled with an energy blast that knocks back and damages monsters. There are four levels of power that are unlocked as more energy is used for the revive.
We're trying something new! For a limited time only, a 30 Day Elevator Pass may be purchased from the Energy Depot. This pass allows all Knights on the account the ability to bypass elevator costs. Elevator Passes are activated at the time of purchase and will show up in your arsenal's 'Useable' category as with other upgrades.
Shadow Keys are now available from Boost for the foreseeable future. They can be purchased for the now non-promotional price of 1,800 CE.
Surveys will now occasionally be available from the Uplink. Fill them out and help us improve Spiral Knights!
Systems with more memory should now see increased performance.

Shadows Fall Over Cradle!
From the Release Notes: |
---|
We've got some exciting additions to the Clockworks included in this release. The bravest, most elite knights can take on the most challenging levels to date in Shadow Lairs and everyone can celebrate the Dark Harvest Festival with visits to the Punkin King! Shadow Lair Overview The Clockwork Terminal on floor 23 now contains a new area north of the elevator leading to several 'Shadow Lairs.' These mysterious elevators contain the most fearsome challenges found in the Clockworks. Shadow Lairs are intended for knights equipped with Tier 3 gear, specifically geared toward each Shadow Lair which includes:
Shadow Lair Rewards All Shadow Lairs feature the following rewards:
Accessing a Shadow Lair Shadow Lairs are grouped into three ranks. All knights with Tier 3 clearance automatically gain Shadow Lair Clearance 1. Completing a Shadow Lair Rank 1 earns you clearance into the next rank and so on. The highest Shadow Lair Clearance Level of anyone in the party is respected. Not everyone needs the same rank to join a party in a Shadow Lair. Shadow Keys Shadow Lairs require a Shadow Key to access. Only one key is needed for the entire party. A Shadow Key is destroyed once used. Shadow Keys can be found in ANY Iron Lockbox or from the Auction House if available. The Dark Harvest Festival The Dark Harvest Festival is now being celebrated in Haven and will end on November 1st! This annual event honors the mischievous Punkin King in order to ensure a healthy fall harvest. All Clockwork Tunnels-style levels like Power Complexes and Blast Chambers now have a chance of featuring special rooms inhabited by the Punkin King. Simply hop on the party pad and discover if the Punkin King has candy tokens or something else in store for you! Candy tokens come in three varieties (Hard Candy, Sour Candy and Sweet Candy) and can be exchanged in the Haven Town Square for festive masks! Masks include:
In case you're just a few pieces of candy shy of the mask you desire, candy tokens can also be purchased in the Haven Town Square. However, they are very expensive! Remember, this event ends November 1st so collect all the candy you can and get those masks! Royal Jelly

Lockboxes, Accessories and More!
From the Release Notes: |
---|
Today's update introduces a host of exciting features. Get ready to customize your gear with accessories and spin the Prize Wheel! Accessories Accessories are new items that can be augmented on to helmets or armor. There are hundreds of them to discover and include techno widgets like antennae and visors for your helmets, canteens and side blades for your armor and even holy auras and wings! All accessories come in a wide variety of colors and styles. The most common will match the standard armor color schemes and the rarer styles match color schemes like 'divine' and 'volcanic' gear. The rarest of all are the 'prismatic' accessories that recolor to your personal color. Once you have an accessory, visit Bechamel, the Accessorizor on the far western side of the Haven Bazaar. Once an accessory is attached to gear, it is permanently attached unless removed by Bechamel, the Accessorizor. However, removing an accessory from gear will destroy the accessory in the process. Accessories are divided by attachment location and can only be attached to gear that supports the attachment location. Not all gear can use all accessories. Consult the tooltips to determine which accessories can fit your gear. Locations include:
Lockboxes You can now find Iron Lockboxes, a new usable item that, when opened, reveals a special prize! Iron Lockboxes are the only way to find accessories. Any player can find an Iron Lockbox and trade it with other players or put it up for sale on the Auction House. Additionally, any item found within an Iron Lockbox is also unbound and can be traded as well. An Iron Lockbox requires a Silver Key to open. Silver Keys are purchasable from Boost, the Special Items Merchant located in Haven and every subtown. Once used, a Silver Key is destroyed. Silver Keys can also be traded and put up for sale on the Auction House. The Prize Wheel All Knights that complete levels in the Clockworks will now have an opportunity to spin the all-new Prize Wheel\! The Prize Wheel is displayed as your heat is tallied during the end of level report. There are all sorts of prizes to discover. Many of them are helpful boosts for your next floor like health or crowns, but the truly lucky players will be awarded Iron Lockboxes! Lockboxes have the highest chance of appearing in Tier 3, followed by Tier 2 and then Tier 1. Lockdown

From the Release Notes: |

A new content update will be released today that includes a bunch of new, exciting features! Lockdown - A New Coliseum Event In Lockdown, two teams face off against each other to capture multiple Control Points scattered across the map. Capturing and holding onto a Control Point increases your team's score over time. Owning more than one Control Point increases your team's score even faster! To win, your team must be the first to reach the target score or have the highest score before the match ends! How to Play Capturing Control Points (CPs)
Class Mods Class Mods are a new feature in Lockdown! Class Mods replace your normal shield with a special ability that is unique to that class. The ability is mapped to the key that would normally activate your shield. Within each team base you will find three Class Mods. To change your class, simply stand on one of the pads supporting a Class Mod! The classes grant the following special abilities, bonuses, and penalties: Guardian Special Ability: Guardian Shield

Loadouts - Gear Profiles for Fast Equipping Loadouts are specific sets of gear that you can create and customize for fast equipping in towns, Clockwork Terminals and Lockdown team bases. A Loadout can be flagged as PvE (green) or PvP (red). By default, your current set of gear will be flagged as a PvP Loadout. However, if you would like to easily switch gear during a PvP match, you will want to create multiple PvP Loadouts. You can only swap loadouts during a PvP match before leaving the area designated as the Locker Room inside your team's base. Note that your highest tier PvP-enabled Loadout determines the tier of the game you are eligible to join, and once you join a game, you will only be able to switch to Loadouts of the same tier you are playing. If you would like to play in a specific tier, ensure that all other tier Loadouts are flagged as PvE. Creating a Loadout First, equip the set of gear you would like to become your new Loadout. In the character window, there is a new Loadout pill below your character showing the following information:
Now it's time to save that Loadout:

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.

However new recruits should take heed - this dense forest is home to a fearsome creature known as the Snarbolax. Said to be a massive beast draped in living shadows, this dark predator enjoys toying with its prey before delivering the final blow. It is advised that only Knights who have mastered Tier 1 take on this formidable beast as those who have entered unprepared have never returned! Should you return from the Wildwoods victorious, with Frumious Fangs in hand, you'll find that Brinks has a new selection of 2* items available for trade. These include:
All three of these items can be further upgraded through 5* provided you acquire their recipes from Basil. Swords:

Players will also get a new ‘current objective’ whenever they are in that boss stratum and have not yet completed the objective. The end of each boss stratum features a recon module that issues players an artifact when the player interacts with it (approaching it and pressing the attack button). The artifact will provide some insight in to the expedition of the Alpha Squad. The artifact can only be claimed once and is stored permanently in your arsenal. Additional changes: Levels

You can browse by item type, search by item names, manage your own auctions and even search materials by your known recipes! The Advanced Training Hall is a special, fully interactive combat room that's free to enter and allows new players to learn about various features of the Clockworks. It even contains a room where you can practice defending against custom-built training bots. The hall holds 8 players at a time. As you will note, we've adjusted prices for certain items in the game. This was intentional based on our analysis of how players are using the different features currently offered in Spiral Knights. Changing prices for goods and services is a natural, unavoidable part of operating a Free-to-Play game, although we do not expect them to be common. Changes like this will always be a give and take between what we believe is best for the balance of the game and what is fair to players. We will always strive to respect both in any pricing decision we make. Because this is the first major change of this nature we have made, we are making a correction to the crowns spent by all players with unlearned recipes for the amount of the difference between the price paid and the new recipe prices. This one-time action will be implemented as soon as you log in. We hope you enjoy these new features and look forward to seeing you with our next major update that will instead feature content below the surface of Haven... See you then!

We had to perform a bugfix release early this morning and another this afternoon to address some connection issues that some of you may have experienced as well as the lack of elevators in Deconstruction Zone levels. In addition to that a new feature was added to trade chat that sends trade chat to all same-language instances within Haven. So in order to advertise to the most potential customers, please use trade chat! |

Greetings! We are doing a release tonight that brings with it lots of changes, so please read the following notes. **Many of these new features are still in development! Please be aware that there may be missing components to new content, lack of information, etc.** There is an all new gate creation system This new system offers much greater transparency into gate creation and how minerals generate levels. When depositing minerals, players will have the option of depositing them into different groupings of floors, called 'stratums.' There are two stratums in every tier. The 'default stratum' is always preselected upon opening the deposit interface. You are now paid in crowns for every mineral deposited. However, opting not to deposit in the default stratum will probably cost crowns per mineral for the privilege of depositing into deeper stratums earlier. You can also 'boost' the payouts mineral types in stratums to encourage other players to deposit the minerals you want. Stratums have themes As you deposit minerals into each stratum, you will see the 'theme' of that stratum change. The theme dictates what kinds of levels will be created. Many new levels and monsters have been created to support these themes. They will be further fleshed out as we continue to develop this new feature. Status conditions have changed Status conditions are undergoing some changes. Here's what's different so far:
An important notice regarding exploits: Over the weekend, a bug was discovered that some players exploited. Those players have been banned. Please remember that the purpose of this preview event is to give us good feedback and help us improve Spiral Knights. Helping us discover exploits and reporting them- good. Discovering exploits and using them to damage the game- bad. Other additions:

Expect more updates in the next few days! New Vitapods! Vitapods have changed in this release. You will now pick up a vitapod, and it will show up on your health bar. You can only hold one vitapod at a time, however the vitapods will get larger the further you are from town. You will be able to swap out your current vitapod for a new one you found in the level. Also, once you've left the lobby, any vitapods you pick up will only increase your maximum health, but not your current health, so you will need to find some hearts to fill yourself up the rest of the way. |
