About Exalt

Exalt means to praise, glorify, honor, high or elevated in rank, position, dignity etc. We at Exalt see our selves as a group of nice people, we mostly enjoy doing clockwork runs but there is a few members who enjoy playing lockdown and blast network and do so regularly. Recently we started playing GLD ( Guild Lockdown ) every couple of days or so. Exalt is populated by both guys and girls, both young and old, some are skilled and some still learning the basics, some are quiet and the others talkative but we all share the same kindness and warmth for each other, we are a little online family. We have occasional guild competitions that we organize amongst ourselves and they usually end up being fun. Exalt is a serious guild, GM's and officers are online regularly and so are most of the members, people are promoted to a rank of veteran based on their personality, skill, equipment and time being in the guild but they get promoted upward based on their devotion to the guild and everyone in it. We are a helpful kind of people always trying to teach and support our friends in both battle and equipment choices, we are also providing video tutorials on how to pass the tests and how to handle some enemies in the clockworks. Most importantly we are all here for the fun with a friendly group of people. Exalt features regular every day voice chat over steam, we play many games together, games such as Minecraft, Terraria, Team Fortress 2 and many others. We have our forum and website which are used for organizing events and for the guild news feed. If you like what you read here and if you haven't found that perfect little commune for yourself, maybe Exalt is the answer.

How To Join

All nice, mature people are welcome to Exalt. Any member of Exalt can ask an officer or a guild master to invite their friend to the guild, if someone wants to join on their own, without knowing anyone in the guild they can send a whisper or a mail to one of the following: Zeeca, Akikita, Shaarmallama, Hayashi-Kuro or Skruzo ( in case they do not get a reply in 24 hours they should try the next person on the list ) or talk to anyone from Exalt they find in haven. Equipment requirements don't exist in Exalt for people who are good friends of our members but if you wish to join on your own you need to have a full 3* set or above.

Guild Rules

Exalts number 1 rule is be nice to and respectful of your fellow guildies and other Spiral knights players, feel free to use the guild chat to present yourself when you join and for any topic that you would like to talk about but bear in mind that there are children in the guild. Do not do anything that can bring the Exalt name down or get the guild in trouble. Act maturely and don't send random invites to people.

Members who haven't been online for a while might get removed if the guild has no room for new members, lower ranking inactive players will be removed first but any removed member should get in contact with someone from the guild to get re invited when he starts playing again and the guild will do its best to make room for him again. If a member left Exalt on his own and if he did so in a nice manner ( with no insults and raging ) he is welcome to rejoin and take back his rightful place at any time ( if a long time passed since the member left he will then rejoin as a recruit or with a slightly higher ranking )

In case you are too weak to join some mission but you got invited, you must warn the party leader that you are under equipped so he can give you the green light to join. For the remaining rules use rational thinking to imagine what they could be.

Starting out in Exalt

Useful information for all Exalt members can be found here on the wiki which is our main information source, news can be found on the Exalt website but some news will also be displayed on the wiki itself, Exalt forum is where we organize some events and on our Youtube channel is where we post our youtube videos that are full of useful info. In case you want to organize a event ( challenge or a competition or even a get together in the garden party ) you can use a forum as well but consult you're GM's or officers to post a notification on the wiki about the event or maybe give you some help or advice. You should check the wiki every now and then to see the changes on it since the wiki is regularly updated just like the website. Any questions you have, about gear or anything else that troubles you, feel free to ask anyone from the guild for help but make sure that you ask a person that has enough experience to give you a good objective advice, GM's and officers are often a good choice since most of them have alot of experience and they also will know who to point you to if they are not experienced in the matter you want advice for. Do not hesitate to ask other guild mates to join you're parties or ask to join theirs, being shy will get you nowhere :). When you join Exalt ask for a invite to the steam group if you are a steam user. Our GLD teams are not closed, anyone can be a part of them, just talk to people if you want to join some GLD match, same goes for GBN ( Guild Blast Network ). If you have any fan art made please inform a GM or officer about it so they can post it on the wiki and if you wish to post some screenshots that is ok as well. If in any case you are miss treated you need to notify officer or a GM about it, send a detailed explanation what happened. Most of this info was logical and unneeded for most but some are too shy to ask for help so we try to encourage them here.

Guild Promotions

Members are required to be in Exalt for a minimum of 1 week, have a full 3 star equipment set with at least one 4 star weapon and have proven them selves to be nice people, they need to know about the basic damage types ( which type of enemy is weak to which type of damage and which type of damage is their basic damage dealt, example: All fiends deal shadow as their basic damage and all fiends are weak to pierce damage ). They need to have done all tier 1 and tier 2 bosses. After meeting all the requirements a recruit can request to take his test and become a member by passing it, more details about the tests are given in the "Tests" section of the wiki. Member rank is respected in Exalt, being a member means you have proven yourself as being a nice person and that you can handle yourself in battle. Be proud of yourself :)

Veterans are required to be in Exalt for a minimum of 6 weeks. Members wishing to take this test must be a Vanguard rank. After meeting these 2 requirements a Member can request to take his/her test and become a Veteran. More details about the tests are given in the "Tests" section of the wiki. Veterans are very skilled, well equipped, honored amongst the guild which makes them model guildies. Basically, they are cool, as cool as Exalt veteran sounds :)

Officers An officer is chosen by the GM's. With the level of selection we apply to our members we end up with so many people that are good officer material that we end up raising the bar for officer very high. Officers are chosen when there is need for one, we need officers in different timezones so do not be surprised if a guild member quickly becomes an officer in a time zone where there aren't any officers active. To become an officer in Exalt there needs to be a need for a new officer, also, you must be well known and be a respected guild veteran in Exalt. Officers have to have big knowledge of the game and they are able to transfer that knowledge to others, officers are very helpful, always willing to jump in and help anyone, they solve problems before or as they arise, they recruit regularly and take care of the guild web presentations regularly ( wiki, forum, website, youtube channel ). An Exalt officer is a servant of his fellow guildies, a protector, teacher and also, just another guildie, but a guildie that is working in their gaming hours to make sure other guildies have it good and that is why we honor our officers so much.

Guild Master A rank of a guild master is a supreme honor given to a distinctive few who have tried so hard and worked so much for this guild that they ended up caring more for the actual well-being of their guildies than the game it self.

Tests

Members test is done in a T2 arena of the testers choice-Veteran/Officer/GM, (fiend and beast arena's are not used), recruit needs to finish the whole arena without dieing and they need to spawn the 8 gun puppy wave "clean" ( without any other enemies alive at that moment or with only one extra enemy ) , if a recruit doesn't know how to do so he should watch the Exalt tutorial - Members test video and ask their examiner for a explanation for all that isn't clear or not covered by the video. Practice run before the test is recommended. Death or failing to spawn the 8 gun puppy wave clean will result in failing the test and having to wait 2 weeks to retake it. During the test both the recruit taking the test and the examiner are in the arena but the examiner will die at the start and watch the recruit while dead. If a recruit has difficulty passing an arena he/she should ask for help from a higher ranking member, officer is suggested. The whole point of this test is to help those who have problems running the arenas, passing this test will require them to learn about the wave control in arenas which many people do not know about, learning the correct way to do a arena will make it easier on them to run T3 arenas and help them not to kill their fellow party members in arenas by spawning the 8 gun puppy wave during the time while other enemies are alive.


Veterans test is done on D25 ( Depth 25 ) level Firestorm Citadel, the Member taking the test needs to pass this level, he/she needs to complete the level without dieing and all enemies on the level must be dead, use of gates to protect against enemies in each room is NOT allowed. During the test both the Member taking the test and the examiner (Officer/GM) are in the level but the examiner will die at the start and watch the Member while dead. It's suggested to view the Exalt tutorial - Veterans test video before you attempt to do your test.


Officers test is done in the arena "The Gauntlet", Veteran taking the test needs to complete "The Gauntlet" without dieing. During this test the GM will be dead and watching the Veteran taking the test.

Events/Minigames

Guild Poster

We got an idea to make a big guild poster with everyone in. the poster would be made similarly to the image of the officers club where each member would take a screenshot while talking to the NPC ( Non person character ) near the Haven garden, while in the conversation with him your character will appear on the right, that is the image we will be using, everyone who wants to be on the poster is supposed to make that screenshots and send a link to it to Zeeca on steam or post in on the forum in this post but if you have steam, go trough steam, add Zeeca by visiting the Exalt steam group ( Exalt-Spiral knights ) and add the member called "ice" and send him a link to the screenshot you previously uploaded, in case you are forced to post you image elsewhere you can just post a link to that image in the forum page instead of posting the actual image. As for the poster it self, the initial idea is to have all the cutout characters lined up by rank and have a little square around their image, basically like a yearbook. It will take Zee some time to cut out and combine all of those images, if anyone can do such a thing in photo shop or any other tool such as Pixlr, you are welcome to do so and just post your characters cutout.

Clockworks endurance competition - Coming SOON!

The new contest we are planning is Levo's idea, its a competition on which team can make it furthest in the clockworks using only 2 star equipment. This event will most likely take place in one of the future JK gates and it will last as long as that gate lasts which should be 1 week. This is why we are announcing this competition ahead of time. The rules for this competition are still a work in progress but most are already decided and they are:

  • Party consists of 4 people
  • Party has to start from depth 0
  • Only 2 star weapons, armor sets and shields are allowed
  • Health trinkets are allowed but only 2 star ones and all other trinkets can be 5 star
  • Only 4 weapons allowed for the whole run and neither the shield or any armor piece is to be changed during the run, in case someone hasn't got all 4 weapon slots or both trinket slots unlocked, they are allowed to change weapons but the over all number of weapons used for the run has to be 4 and for trinkets 2
  • Every party member has to take a screenshot of their character view while standing close to the end level elevator as proof of what equipment they used, those images need to uploaded on their steam profiles, in case some party member isn't a steam user he should have 1 other person from the party take a screenshot of their inspect window and upload them as well as their own. If another person is taking your screenshots make sure its always the same person.
  • No costumes are allowed
  • All UV's are allowed ( UV = Unique variant )
  • Players are supposed to form their own teams and have one member apply them all

Further details about this competition will be displayed little by little until everything about the competition is worked out to the last detail. Heat up your 2 star items, they are cheap to buy and easy to heat up, when the competition comes there won't be much time.

Team Boss Battles - Coming SOON!

In this competition 2 player teams need to kill a boss in the fastest possible time, time will be measured by a dead observer who will be one of the judges. Every week we will get to fight a new boss for this competition, first will be:

Snarby

Allowed:

  • Any shield and armor
  • Only 2 weapons
  • UV’s (Unique Variant’s)

No allowed:

  • Trinckets
  • Vita

Penalties :

  • Pill – 15 seconds
  • Ce rev – 30 seconds
  • Loss of heath at the end – 2 seconds per bar of health and 1 second for a half of a bar of health
  • Party revive – Both players must stop playing Spiral knights 

Penalties from both players of the team will be added up so both players affect the overall time ( If 1 players uses 1 pill and the other players CE revives himself their time will be increased for 45seconds ) Participation in this competition will be 25 ce per team member so 50 ce for the whole team. Any of the rules are subject to change before the competition starts.

Do not remove list

This is the list of the retired knights who are expected to make a comeback so they will not be removed from the guild if there is no room for new members, in case you need to be inactive for a longer period of time inform one of the officers or GM's of it so they try and save your spot for as long as possible, in case that isn't possible and you come back to the game not having a guild just contact someone from the guild and ask for a re invite.
