Large crystal deposits containing chunks of mineral appropriate for collection can be found throughout The Clockworks. Once located, these deposits can be smashed by any weapon to produce a mineral piece small enough to be carried on a [[Spiral_Knights|knight's]] back. A knight can carry one such mineral chunk at a time and it will be safely deposited into one's [[Arsenal]] once the level has been completed by going up or down on the elevator at the end. Not only that, but if there are multiple knights in a party, all the knights will receive the same number of minerals collected by the party. That means if the party gets one medium and one large mineral, everyone gets 6 minerals. Adventuring in a party has its benefits!

Currently, the only known type of Alloy is the '''[[Dusk Drop]]''', which will weigh the mineral tray to which it is added to the bottom of the stack. In practical terms, this causes the most recently added minerals to be used to construct the levels that'll be found at the ''very bottom'' of the newly constructed gate. Dusk Drops require an appropriate recipe, and are synthesized from one mineral of every type (1 Crimsonite, 1 Moonstone, 1 Valestone, 1 Luminite and 1 Dark Matter).

A knight carrying a piece of Luminite.

Minerals are large chunks of valuable material that are used to construct new gates for use in exploring The Clockworks.

Obtaining Minerals

Large crystal deposits containing chunks of mineral appropriate for collection can be found throughout The Clockworks. Once located, these deposits can be smashed by any weapon to produce a mineral piece small enough to be carried on a knight's back. A knight can carry one such mineral chunk at a time and it will be safely deposited into one's Arsenal once the level has been completed by going up or down on the elevator at the end. Not only that, but if there are multiple knights in a party, all the knights will receive the same number of minerals collected by the party. That means if the party gets one medium and one large mineral, everyone gets 6 minerals. Adventuring in a party has its benefits!
