Why you stalk me?

What else can I even say here?

Well I guess I should put something useful here:

Basic Information

My primary character is Avaknineeightnine. I spelled out the numbers, because Spiral Knights doesn't allow people to type in numbers in their character names. D:

I am in the guild, Skybreakers. Not a very well known or big guild, I know, but it has many friendly people. Besides I never got an invitation to a popular guild. :( But I'm fine with what I got.

Equipment and Costumes

In the early 0* and 1* missions, I just used what the missions rewarded me with. In the early 2* missions, I used the Cobalt set. Then, I switched over to the Divine Veil, Skolver Coat, and Owlite Shield lines with the standard Calibur, Blaster, and Blast Bomb lines. This build pretty much provides you with defense against all damage types and many status effects AT THE 5* LEVEL. Before 5* though, it mainly provides Normal, Piercing, and Elemental Defense which I considered decent until I had to face Candlestick Keeps and Fiend Levels (ouch). I am currently still trying to craft my 5* versions. After getting these essentials down, I plan to branch out and get other more interesting equipment.

In Lockdown, I am currently equipped with a Tier 1 Circuit Breaker Set that provides Normal and Elemental Defense (which I consider very helpful as the only 0* and 1* weapons deal these two damage types). I feel the weapons in Tier 1 do not really differ from one another as they all mostly do the same damage (not much at all). I do not have a Tier 2 set, but I plan to use Gunslinger Hat and Dusker Coat for the weapon bonuses. I prefer to keep my weapons a secret. I also do not have a Tier 3 set, but I plan to have the Shadowsun Stetson and Skolver Coat for the weapon bonuses. Again, I prefer to keep my weapons a secret.

You will most likely see me in my costume of Jack O' Bombhead Mask and Hallow Fur Coat. I had a stroke of luck in getting that Jack O' Bombhead Mask from the Hallow Prize Box, so it is my most prized possession. I also really like how it looks. The Winterfest costumes are ok for me. I am mostly interested in the Frosty Fur Coat, Frosty Flak Jacket, and Humbug Hat, but even these are only ok in my opinion. The Frosty Fur Coat does not match with my Jack O' Bombhead Mask, and the Frosty Flak Jacket looks ugly compared to the Fur Coat. The Humbug Hat looks very nice, but I feel it is extremely hard to get. I also do not feel like using up 50-100k crowns in the Auction House for it.

Grinding For Crowns and Heat

First of all, I just want to say that the amount of crowns needed in this game later on is a _____ (5 letter cuss word that starts with a "b").

Heat is not a problem compared to crowns! You can easily heat equipment up to level 10 while you grind for a ton of crowns, especially later on in the game.

After getting my 2* gear, I mainly focuses on grinding the Royal Jelly Palace levels for crowns due to their high crowns per energy payout. Later, I transitioned to just grinding the 1st 2 levels of Royal Jelly Palace for their even higher crowns per energy payout. I did that to get all the way to my 4* gear. As you would expect, it gets very boring doing it that many times, but there are not many other choices, especially without those levels past the 5* Hall of Heroes. Now I realize that you can grind the Prestige Missions for greater crowns per energy payout, but they are pretty tough as expected. Be sure to grab some party members if you are tackling it with 2* or 4* gear for the Tier 2 or Tier 3 versions.
