Revision as of 22:52, 23 February 2015

Haven is a major hub on Cradle, as well as the home of the Strangers. These salvagers offer the Spiral Knights sanctuary in return for the treasures that they acquire while investigating the Clockworks. Friendly vendors from other races (such as the Gremlins and Devilites often encountered in the Clockworks) also reside here, though in much smaller population. Haven is also heavily populated with snipes, bulbous little birds with a curious means of locomotion.

Haven is divided into four districts -- the Town Square, the Bazaar, the Garrison and the Arcade. Each area features multiple exits into the adjacent areas.

There can be more than one instance of Haven depending on the number of players logged in. You can move to other instances via the minimap. See the notes section on this page for details.

Notes

Click the button in the minimap to see a menu of other instances and travel there.

If there are enough players online, there may be multiple instances of Haven. You can change your instance by clicking your current instance in the minimap and then selecting where you want to go. This is useful to be in the same location as your friends, or to find a quiet place. All instances of Haven are identical and share the same gates in the Arcade.

Population Meters:

One green dot out of 3 means there aren't many people there (perhaps nobody!)

Two yellow dots out of 3 means the instance is decently populated.

Three red dots out of 3 means that instance is approaching or at maximum capacity.

History

Haven is the home of Strangers on Cradle. Since the Skylark crashed on the planet's surface, the Spiral Knights have gained the trust of the Strangers and found sanctuary in their town.

The Spiral Knights and Strangers both have a vested interest in the Clockworks and stage trips there from the town's Arcade. The knights seek the possibility of repairing their ship, and the Strangers have interest in the treasures that the knights bring back from their adventures.
