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!

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!

Remember, knights: all rescue pods are stocked with a standard-issue Proto Sword, Proto Gun, Proto Shield and full set of Spiral Armor in case of a crash-landing in hostile territory. 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!

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!

We at Spiral HQ are pleased to invite everyone to join us in Spiral Knights for the first ever Power Surge Weekend! From 4 PM PDT today, Friday, March 18th until 5 PM PDT Sunday, March 20th, a variety of exciting events will be happening in the brave new world of Spiral Knights, including reduced elevator costs and hourly lotteries!

Don't miss out on the fun this weekend: ready your sword and join your fellow knights in the Clockworks! For full details, check out the forums!

This weekend, from Friday, March 25 at 4pm PDT to Sunday, March 27 at 9pm PDT we will be hosting our Preview Event Grand Finale!

During the specified times there will be 2 energy elevators and frequent lottery prizes given out, plus other special events. Log in this weekend for one last adventure before our official launch on April 4th!

As a special thanks to all our Preview Event players we will be opening the game on April 1st at 2pm PDT to any player that participated in the Preview Event. Early Access players will have the entire weekend to get a head start on everyone else before our official launch on April 4th. Early Access players will also find that their knight names from the Preview Event have been reserved for them. Reserved names must be claimed by April 11th.

Be sure to also check your Arsenal for a special set of Preview Event items. Every knight created on a Preview Event account will receive these items.

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.

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!

The first Arsenal Expansion is now available! Spiral HQ has uncovered schematics of a wide array of new sword recipes, including the new Piercing damage line of Flourish swords, and complete lines of the Iceburst Brandish, Fireburst Brandish and Nightblade!

All this and more are now available to your ever-expanding arsenal. Gear up today!

From now until May 6th at 3PM PDT, knights who purchase at least $9.95 worth of Crystal Energy will receive a free piece of the Rose Regalia! These brand new costume items are well-suited to combining with the Flourish line of Piercing swords.

There are six pieces in all: three chapeaus and three tabards. Collect the whole set today!

The response to the Rose Regalia Energy Bonus has been fantastic so far, and so we've decided to extend it for one more weekend! Until Monday, May 9th at 3 PM PDT, purchase at least $9.95 worth of Crystal Energy and receive a free piece of the Rose Regalia costume set. There are three chapeaus and three tabards in all, so this is your last chance to collect all six!

Thank you to everyone who's participated in the Bonus so far. Have a great weekend in the Clockworks!

The Strangers have been hard at work making Haven a more welcoming place for the recent influx of knights, and so several new amenities are now available in the Town Square: an Auction House, and an Advanced Training Hall!

The Auction House is a new and efficient way for knights to buy and sell materials, recipes and other items, while the Advanced Training Hall can be used to brush up on important adventuring skills, or to test out new weapons. Go take a look at them in the Haven Town Square today!

Got a new sword that you want to level up fast? Looking for a little boost? The Heat Amplifier is now available from the Upgrade Merchant, which grants users an additional 20% heat collected in the Clockworks for 48 hours!

Maximize your adventure by purchasing a Heat Amplifier today!

The Clockworks have just revealed a new, perilous boss stratum for Tier 1 Knights to challenge, The Gloaming Wildwoods. 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!

We are proud to announce that Spiral Knights is now available as one of the first ever free to play games on Steam! At this time we would like to extend a great big welcome to all the new Knights that we are sure to see from this partnership. Welcome to the Clockworks!

Steam users who play Spiral Knights will find their Steam friends already added to their friends list in game as well as other special offers exclusive to Steam players.

Within the depths of Tier 2 a new gremlin weapons facility has been discovered, The Ironclaw Munitions Factory. Intel from Spiral HQ has confirmed that under a direct mandate from the Crimson Order, gremlin engineers have begun developing a weapon of incredible power. Known only as 'Project Roarmulus,' this weapon has been designed with the sole purpose of destroying Haven!

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.

Blast Network is a highly explosive event that pits Knights against each other and equips them with instant-charging bombs. The object of the game is to blow the competition to smithereens! Blast Network has no equipment requisites at all - simply join and get blasting whenever you like.

Two new species of monsters have been sighted lurking within the Clockworks: the polyp and the howlitzer.

The polyp is a slime turret that fires piercing barbs. Proceed with caution around this gooey gunner as Intel has discovered that it cannot be surprised! While a polyp has no true 'eyes' it can see in all directions at all times.

The howlitzer is an undead turret that fires shadowy bullets. Even if you manage to destroy this clacking cannon it always has one last trick up its sleeve- it fires its skull directly at its attacker like a missile!

The Spiral Knights Official Soundtrack is now available! This two disc set features thirty one extended, remixed and remastered tracks by composer Harry Mack.

So if you're a fan of the delightful sonic joy that is the music of Spiral Knights, head on over to your favorite online music vendor and pick it up!

A new Undead level series has appeared within the Clockworks- the Candlestick Keep. These haunted grounds are all that remains of the once prosperous Owlite Academy. Though now overtaken by spookats and other undead horrors, Knights will find Owlite ward candles scattered about the Keep that will save them from what lurks in the dark.

Truly brave Knights will also discover deviously challenging, new Danger Rooms hidden within the Clockworks. Enter at your own risk!

Between September 6th 10am PDT and September 19th 10am PDT, purchase energy packages of $9.95 USD or more and receive a special bonus item from the new Rose Regalia costume set for each purchase!

Become a Knight of the Rose, a sacred order of brave and especially dashing heroes whose numerous adventures are the subject of many folk tales. The Knights of the Rose were said to be peerless fencers, believing that their blades were like the flowers of their name: a delicate thing of beauty that hides a vicious sting.

King Krogmo has unveiled his latest Coliseum event, Lockdown! Capturing the true spirit of battle, Lockdown has Knights fighting for domination of control points across sprawling battlefields. Further adding to the fray, Spiral HQ has authorized the use of two new features: class mods and loadouts.

Loadouts are specific sets of gear that you can create and customize for fast equipping in towns, Clockwork Terminals and Lockdown team bases. Find the perfect combination that's right for you!

Deep within the Tier 3 clearance zone of the Clockworks, Spiral HQ has discovered a terminal containing elevators leading to what are being referred to as Shadow Lairs. Knights who have ventured within these strange new worlds have reported feeling a dreadful darkness enveloping them at every turn.

Shadow Lairs feature some of the most terrifying monsters of the Clockworks imbued with dark powers: madness has overtaken the Snarbolax, Lord Vanaduke has embraced the forbidden powers of Darkfire and now commands a legion of cursed undead, and the Royal Jelly has been usurped by a far more legitimate heir to the throne!

The Dark Harvest Festival is now being celebrated in Haven and will end on November 1st!

Hail Knights!

I wanted to provide the community with a sense of what's coming up in a future update to Spiral Knights.

Our recent projects, including Guild Halls, were selected based in part on feedback from players, both in the forums and from some of the surveying we do from time to time. The requests are, of course, many and varied; however, one of the frequently requested features for the game has been pets.

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. We're calling this project 'Battle Sprites'.

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.

In the wrong hands these ancient tomes could be kata- er, catastrophic, but it turns out that black kats can't read, so they instead decided to just eat them.

The residents of Moorcroft Manor would like you to retrieve the Ancient Pages of the magical grimoires that quite likely reside in the stomachs of black kats. We'll leave you to figure out just how to recover them...

In the wake of a black kat attack, the ghostly residents of Moorcroft Manor are in need of funds to repair their Archives. Teaming up with the Haven Treasury, Moorcroft Manor is having a fire sale of all its extra furnishings and they can be a part of your Guild Hall!

From now until 12:00 PM PDT on February 13th, 2013, we're giving away free Moorcroft Prize Boxes with select energy purchases!

Spiral Knights is celebrating its second anniversary with a special event! Join in on the fun now through April 16, 2013!

Visit the Haven Town Square to meet the Skylark's Head Chef, Biscotti. She will inform you of a 'situation' at hand that involves hordes of monstrous cakes known as 'Creep Cakes.' Helping her solve this 'situation' will reward you with cake helms and prize boxes!

Check out the announcement for more details and a complete prize list.

Spiral Knights now has a new look thanks to a completely revamped user interface! This new UI features a number of new features and enhancements that we're sure you'll appreciate, including:

- A visible character portrait and new health display

- A shield power meter

- A weapon selection 'wheel'

- A much more detailed mini map, featuring enemy locations, NPCs and more

- A new Targeting UI that displays information about whatever you are targeting.

Let us know what you think of this new look in the forums!

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.

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.

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.

- Dust bunnies: These beast-family minis are a hopping mad mess of fangs and fur. They are always hungry.

- Glop drops: The newest member of the slime family will slowly ooze their way toward their prey as a nasty blanket of spikes.

- Grave scarabs: These undead insects are always on the lookout for fresh corpses. Their limited flight signals their attacks.

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 and have an appetite for mayhem that knows no bounds.

Gorgos will now appear alongside their devilite coworkers in any fiendish encounter within the Clockworks.

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!

Dash allows you to dodge enemy attacks with a burst of speed and limited invulnerability. It can even be used in Lockdown for a whole new level of strategy!

Charge into battle using shield bash to damage, knock back, and stun your enemies!

Learn about these new abilities and more in the patch notes!

To celebrate the release of the combat update introducing the lightning quick evasive dash and the thunderous shield bash, the Haven treasury is giving away unique prizes!

From now through June 2nd, 2013, we're giving away free Stormy Prize Boxes with select energy purchases!

Each Stormy Prize Box has special prizes inside. Possible prizes include unique Storm Helmets and radiant Eyes of Fury. Not only that, but a lucky few players may find the rare Wings of Fury!

Remember: Prize Boxes require no key to open, and all items found inside a Stormy Prize Box are unbound, so share with your friends!

Check out the announcement for more details and a complete prize list.

Battle Sprites, loyal combat companions to the Spiral Knights, will be available later this month! Sprites will level up, evolve, and gain unique capabilities.

The battle sprites update will introduce a host of new features, including powerful combat skills that all sprites can execute on your command. The three starter sprites; the drakon, seraphynx and maskeraith, each represent a different playstyle.

Here are the details regarding how a sprite plays, what their skills do in combat and the augments available on each skill that enhance them. Augments can be increased via skill points that are gained while leveling a sprite.

Click 'Learn More' for details!

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.

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.

Fire crystals may be purchased in stacks in the Supply Depot, acquired via missions or found as loot in treasure blocks.

Visit the Supply Depot to get a great deal on all-new rarity class items!

Use Sparks of Life to revive in combat and unleash a powerful energy blast, craft powerful weapons and gear with Orbs of Alchemy and level up your items and unlock special bonuses with the Forge. Best of all, all of these new items can be found within treasure blocks in the Clockworks!

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.

Today, many exciting changes have arrived to Spiral Knights! These changes include the release of all-new missions, Battle Sprites and new rarity class items!

There's a lot to see and do and you can now do it all for FREE. That's right, elevators will no longer charge energy to operate!

Be sure to read over the extensive patch notes for more info on all the new features. See you in the Clockworks!

To celebrate the release of battle sprites and other exciting, new features, the Haven Treasury is hosting a special giveaway and Supply Depot sale!

From now until 12:00 PM PDT on August 14th, 2013, we're giving away free Companion Prize Boxes to every knight each day just for logging in!

Someone or something has again summoned hordes of cursed black kats into the Clockworks. These shadowy beasts hunger for arcane power and have predictably stormed the Moorcroft Manor Archives' precious collection of magical grimoires in another attempt to execute their nefarious plans.

It appears that illiteracy is still rampant among the black kat hordes, so they have once more taken to eating the pilfered pages rather than using them for arcane rituals.

The residents of Moorcroft Manor would like you to retrieve the Ancient Pages of the magical grimoires that quite likely reside in the stomachs of black kats. We'll leave you to figure out just how to recover them...

After another surprise black kat attack, the ghostly occupants of Moorcroft Manor are exploring ways to fund a restoration effort for their damaged Archives. The denizens of Moorcroft Manor have reached out to those in charge of the Haven Treasury in order to sell their spectral wares and eerie accoutrements directly to knights who are looking to give their Guild Halls a bit of otherworldly character!

From now until 12:00 PM PDT on August 28th, 2013, exclusive Moorcroft Prize Boxes will be available for purchase directly from the Supply Depot!

Each Moorcroft Prize Box has a special prize inside. Possible prizes include wide array of ornate, Victorian-style furnishings, such as the velvet covered Antique Benches, faintly glowing Gaslamps as well as spooky Moorcroft items like the Skull Piles. Not only that, but a lucky few players may find the very rare Cursed and Mystical Tome Stands, a Curious Mewkat, or even a Zombie Bellhop to wander around your Guild Hall!

You can now complete your collection of battle sprites through the Supply Depot! Starter battle sprites can now be acquired in delightfully cute pods that are unbound upon purchase. Once released from their cozy, kennel-like pod, the battle sprite will bond with the first knight that it sees.

The Grinchlins have vowed to destroy Impostoclaus and steal all his presents! Spiral HQ has located the Grinchlin base of operations on Mount Krampus and tasked you with putting an end to their humbug. Journey through the base to the summit. Your objective is to defeat the Grinchlins and their allies. This faction of Gremlins is very stingy and will not drop loot during battle.
