Promotional Items

Various promotional items have been released throughout the history of Spiral Knights to further encourage Energy purchases, expand the current appearance selection for knights, run alongside a particular real-life or ingame event, or simply as goodwill from the developers. Most of these items are tradeable, but none of them give any sort of gameplay advantage.
