Gate
From SpiralKnights
Gates are entrances into The Clockworks where knights go for adventure.
Gates can be either active, where knights can use them to travel down into The Clockworks, or dormant with a countdown timer showing when it will become active.
There are four parts to a gate:
- Control Panel - Used on active gates to go adventuring
- Display Monitor - Visually shows the gate's name
- Mineral Deposit Box - Used on dormant gates for gate construction
- Totem - Shows either the current levels (active gates) or the current construction status (dormant gates)
Active Gates
Active gates are open for exploration by knights. Some are fixed, such as the Firefly Gate. Others are constructed by players in The Arcade and have different thematic levels depending on the construction process. Each active gate in The Arcade is present for 8 days, vanishing afterward to make room for a new dormant gate on the right side of the lineup.
To enter a gate, go to the Control Panel and use your ATTACK key to access the options.
Dormant Gates
Dormant gates appear to the right side of The Arcade and start with a countdown timer showing 8 days of gate construction before becoming active gates. The number indicator on the gate's control panel is a general indicator of how much time is left:
- 4 = 6-8 days left
- 3 = 4-6 days left
- 2 = 2-4 days left
- 1 = under 2 days left
You can see an exact day:hour:minute:second countdown indicator in the display when interacting with the mineral deposit box. During this time players can deposit minerals to create thematic levels within each stratum.
When the countdown timer reaches zero, the gate becomes active with whatever levels that have been constructed.
Gate Names
When a new gate is generated in The Arcade, it is assigned a color and a symbol to give it a name. Below is a list of known colors and symbols.
