Now I will introduce to you how Spiral Knight's Economy Works and more Info about it. And how the Admins and Over-the-top rich players can manipulate the market. Materials can be similar except they're NOT a currency.


How Economy Works in spiral knights

There are many things that go around the economy in this game. There are Crown sinks, Energy sinks and all of that, and the opposite of that are Crown and Energy Fountains. The information below give the functions of this terms.

Crown sinks and Fountains

Crown sinks are the ways that the Crowns are eradicated like...

1. Buying items from vendors 2. crown requirement from recipes 3. Listing fee in the AH 4. Buying items from Haven Treasury in AH.

On the other hand, Crown fountains are the ways you get crowns out of nowhere(can't find the right term) like..

1. Slaying Monsters. 2. Selling Items from vendors(not sure of this) 3. Slaying Monsters. 4. Slaying Monsters... I can't find anything else

Energy sinks and fountains

Like Crown sinks, these are the ways that Energy are eradicated like...

1. Using Energy for Energy gates 2. Using Energy for Elevators 3. Using Energy for Binding smith 4. Using Energy for elevators

And Energy fountains are the same as Crowns, but gets energy for free without return(except buying it for REAL money.)

1. Getting Mist energy over time. 2. Buying Money through credit cards or whatever.

Commodity sinks and fountains

Commodity(materials and items) sinks and fountains function the same as the 2 above.

Commodity fountain: 1. Expedition in the clockworks -Treasure boxes -Enemies

Commodity Sinks: 1. Using a recipe requiring that item to be used.


The Market & Market Manipulation

This is the where Energy can be exchanged for Crowns and vice versa. A huge decrease/increase of exchange price here can affect the prices of all, that's why manipulating the market can be very devastating.

Market Manipulation for the Insane rich people

How to reduce the sell price of the Energy/Crown(maybe) price (You need TONS of CE here.) Make a sell offer that has a gap of 300 or more crowns in the lowest sell offer currently. Eg. If the lowest sell offer price currently is 6,500 crowns per 100 energy (x quantity willing to sell) then you do a sell offer of 6,200 crowns per energy (x1 hundred thousand... or more or less, the lower the faster it is will vanish so add more!!) Then try to remove that over and lower it gradually, and sometimes the offers will compete and make lower offers tadaa! you made it, the buy offers, will eventually lower since the crown price for them is rather high yet before they notice.

How to INCREASE the price(sell) of Energy/Crown price (you need TONS of crowns here)

Put the sell offer you desire that is higher than the other sell prices then Buy all of it till you reach your price.. simple right?


If you know how to get profit in trade currency(which I knew) you need to be moderately rich here to have a higher profit.
