Accessory
From SpiralKnights
Accessories are items that can be augmented on to helmets or armor. There are hundreds of them to discover and include techno widgets like antennae and visors for your helmets, canteens and side blades for your armor and even holy auras and wings! All accessories come in a wide variety of colors and styles. The most common will match the standard armor color schemes and the rarer styles match color schemes like 'divine' and 'volcanic' gear. The rarest of all are the 'prismatic' accessories that recolor to your personal color.

Obtaining Accessories
The only ways to obtain accessories directly from gameplay are from Iron Lockboxes and as mission rewards. Iron Lockboxes are usable items that, when opened, reveal a special prize - an accessory. However, an Iron Lockbox requires a Silver Key purchased from Kozma to open. Currently, only crest accessories are available from missions.
Using Accessories
Once you have an accessory, visit Bechamel, the Accessorizor on the far western side of the Haven Bazaar. Once an accessory is attached to gear, it is permanently attached unless removed by Bechamel. However, removing an accessory from gear will destroy the accessory in the process. Bechamel also allows players to preview accessories.
Attachment Locations
Accessories are divided by attachment location and can only be attached to gear that supports the attachment location. Only one accessory may be attached per location on a piece of equipment.
Not all gear can use all accessories. Consult the tooltips to determine which accessories can fit your gear. Locations include:
Accessories and Upgrading
Upgrading helmets or armor with an accessory attached does not destroy the attached accessory, unless the attached accessory's position is not available on the to-be-crafted item. This, for example, is the case while crafting an Ash Tail Coat with an Aura to a Skolver Coat.

Standard Accessory Styles
The table below shows the general color scheme for various styles. Accessories use the primary or secondary colors in consistent manners. For example, the Helm Guards and Mecha Wings use the primary color for the bulk of the item and the secondary color for the accents. Items like the Flower, Long Feather, Game Face, and Maedate use the secondary color for a majority of its coloring.

Historical Notes
The style "drab" was changed to "military" with release 2011-11-30.
In some cases, a mistakenly bound accessory can be removed if a support ticket is filed immediately. This was not the case in the past, but was changed due to improved logging at an unspecified date. Community Manager Eurydice explained[1] this policy on July 16, 2012:
"In the past it was our policy not to remove accessories at all. There were one or two special, good faith cases where an exception was made. We recently changed our policy because our logs are now more specific; the GMs are now able to help someone if they accidentally attach something provided they contact us right away, the request is reasonable, and they've not had such an exception in the past... accessories are not unbindable on a whim."
