Promotional Items

Over the duration of Spiral Knight's history, various promotions have been released in order to encourage Crystal Energy purchases, expand the current appearence selection for knights, to run alongside a particular real-life or ingame event, or generally just as a goodwill from Developers to players. Most of these items are tradeable, but since they are only obtainable via obsolete or payment-only methods, none of them give any sort of gameplay advantage.

This ran on two seperate occaisions, once early on in 2011, on an unknown date, then again between September 6th and September 19th 2011.
This gave access to the Red, Black, White, Blue, Green and Gold Rose Tabards and Chapaus.
