This FAQ covers issues related to playing Spiral Knights on Steam.

How can I get a Steam Knight Mask‎‎ and what does it look like?

You can get a Steam Knight Mask by inviting your friends to play Spiral Knights on Steam via the popup in-game. When a total of four friends finish the tutorial and reach the Rescue Camp, you will get a Mini Mist Tank worth 15 mist energy for each friend. When the fifth friend finishes the tutorial and reaches the Rescue Camp, you receive your own Steam Knight Mask!

You can see what the Steam Knight Mask looks like here.

How do I get "The Spiral Sallet" Hat for use in Team Fortress 2?

To receive the free Team Fortress 2 hat, players running the game in Steam must reach the first Clockwork Terminal from any gate in the Haven Arcade and unlock the 'Mission Accomplished' achievement.

Can I bind my existing Spiral Knights account to my Steam account?

Yes, you can, but please keep these points in mind before following the instructions below:

• You are not required to do this, it is only for those who wish to do so.
• This will allow you to log on automatically using the Steam client as well as to take advantage Steam features such as achievements, voice chat, and invites.
• You can only convert one web account over to your Steam account. Make sure you choose the right web account and Steam account as this cannot be undone.
• If you have already created a knight using your Steam account, you must ensure that no more than three knights exist between that account and your web account.
• Everything from your web account will be transferred to your Steam account. Don't worry about something being left behind.
• You will no longer be able to log into the game using your web account, but you may still use it to access the forums and wiki.
• All further energy purchases must be made through the in-game Steam Wallet as you will not be able to log into the web account.
• Binding an existing Spiral Knights account to a Steam account cannot be undone.
