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.

• As of June 20th 2012, Promotional Items are delivered via Prize Boxes. These sealed boxes give a random item from the promotional prize list and do not require a key to open. This gives players a uniform method to calculate the worth of their Energy Purchase.
  
• As of August 21st 2013, Promotional Items and Prize Boxes are purchasable with Energy directly from the Supply Depot, and no longer come free with select Energy Purchases.
