Crafting-Book of Dark Rituals.pngThe History of Ironheart

Ironheart is a reborn guild with Makoshin leading the rebirth.

The guild was initially created by Artemetis and Motheye in ~2011.
At some point, Ironheart melted and recruits left. As for the actual reason, it is unknown.

As of 2013, Makoshin was invited by Saetorath as a friend, and eventually promoted to Guild Master. With the help of the officer Solunaiku, recruits have flooded in and have made Ironheart pumped with life.

Skill-Iron Heart Attack.png Goals and points of Ironheart Skill-Iron Heart Attack.png

The point of our Guild, in my opinion and view, is to progress in gear, skill, and knowledge to further enhance our enjoyment of the game. I see the challenge and overcoming said challenge as the main source of achievement and enjoyment. Our rank requirements reflect some of these ideals.

Beyond this, we are also a community that would also like to simply socialize, not only among each other, but also with other guilds and players.

- Makoshin


"Currently our main focus has been building up the gear and level of our [...] membership so that we can then efficiently earn surplus for guild purposes such as furnishings and increasing membership limits.
In other words, our guild is dedicated to general progression; once we build up ourselves, we will work on building up others [...]"

"[...] [We] want a large prosperous guild who generally get along well and play nice. Hence our focus is having fun (with each other).

- Lullzy quoted from a meeting.


Other authorities' opinions of the goals and points will be posted later.

Arcade Race

Participants needed: 3 or more.

The Guild Master will designate a starting and ending point, wherein he will oversee the progress of the players.

  • The participants must start at the starting point. If not, they will not be counted.
  • Given the "GO!" players are allowed to start their journey through the clockworks.
  • Parties are allowed, but the prize may be split among party members.
  • Warping to another depth is not allowed, and the party will be disqualified immediately.
  • The prize will vary depending on the type of race it is.

Some tips:

  • Prioritize what you're going to do: Rush to the gate as fast as possible or grab boxes?
    • Check what depth your competitors are on! If you're ahead, you can probably spare some time to grab a few things along the way or pickups to help later on.
  • Set up your equipment and loadouts ahead of time so you don't have to fiddle with menus as much.
  • Dying takes a significant amount of time, especially when using a spark.
    Manage your health!
    • Grabbing health and remedy capsules for damage and status tanking can be beneficial!
      • Examples:
        1. Bypassing spike traps safely with health capsules.
        2. Bypassing shock panels safely with remedy capsules.
    • Try not to use sparks, using them for a race where you get rewards that would not compensate is generally a bad idea.

Next Arcade Race is on March 8, 12PM PST.


X Gate Race for Stratum 3 (Depth 9-12) and 4 (Depth 14-17)

1st Place
250 Energy and 2 of any Material of your choice.
2nd Place
100 Energy and 1 of any Material of your choice.
3rd Place
50 Energy and 1 of any Material of your choice.
4th-10th Place (if applicable)
2500 Crowns and 1 of any 4-star or lower Material of your choice.

The material of choice can NOT be event-exclusive or a Dark Ember.

Rules and Policies

Most rules are not laid in stone, or what other metal that you would like to engrave it on.

However, the following rules are generally enforced:

  • Be aware that most guild-related things are logged instantly in the Guild Record. Inquiries as to what is logged exactly is easily seen in the Guild hall's guild record.
    • Although the Guild chat is not archived, it is expected that everyone is to be mindful of what they are saying.
  • Be respectful and patient with one another.
  • Do not flood the Guild chat. If you are talking to another person when there is currently a lot of commotion, please privately talk to one another.
  • If you will be gone for an extended period of time, please notify the Guild Masters or Officers. Otherwise, you will be asked to explain once you log on.
  • There will be a guild list clearing on the Saturday of the last week of the month.
    If you wish to not be removed from the guild, please log on or notify any authority.
    If you are unable to log on to Spiral Knights, contact any of the authorities through outside sources.
    • People that will be removed are people that have not logged in within two weeks of that date, 8:00AM PST, or have not informed authorities of extended leave.
    • The next date is March 29, 2014.

The general idea is simple etiquette among your guild members, and other players.

Failure to follow these rules will result in demotion; or in extreme cases, kicked out.

Requests from the Guild Masters and Officers to the Guild members

Makoshin's

  • We are currently expanding the Guild Hall. If you could, please donate to the Treasury. A suggested amount is 2500 Crowns weekly.
  • If you would like to apply for promotion, contact me and we will see/start.
  • If I am currently not on and have need to speak with me, contact with mail.

Have fun in the Clockworks!

Requests from Guild members to others

If you have requests, send mail to Makoshin so he can post requests here.

A Forum will be created later for this very purpose. In the mean time, this will be used instead.

Expansion-1F West Wing icon.png Current Plans for Guild Hall Expansion Expansion-1F East Wing icon.png

As our Guild is, in comparison, new, we have made a plan to make the Guild Hall more appealing. Suggestions are welcome.

Our current decision with expanding the guild hall is to:

  • Mock Armory and Storage Area. (Variable)
  • Decorate the hallways with certain furniture, such as potted plants and possibly Snipes. (Variable)
  • Finish off the 2nd Floor with the 2F Central War Room. (27,000)
  • Dedicate a room to be an Alchemy Room. (42,500)
  • Create 3F West Wing. (27,000)
  • Create 3F East Wing. (27,000)
  • Create Hunter's Lodge to start making trophies of accomplishment in the Guild Lobby. (475,000)

Total Crowns required, excluding variable amounts: 123,500 + Upfront Upkeep + 475,000 (Hunter's Lodge) + Variable Crowns.

Be aware that these are the plans if we are to make the amount of crowns for each part. Patience is key to meeting these.

If 30 guild members were to donate 2,500 Crowns weekly, that would be 75,000 Crowns. Enough to cover most of the goals above and at least 3 new furniture weekly when decorating.

If you would like to find out more about the prices, please consult the following:

Materials to save for furniture

Adding materials right now is not pertinent, but adding a little every once in awhile will make it easier once we come to that point.

Warning Large Tables

Guild Hall Changes

Icon-social-mp.png Members of the Guild

[Accurate as of February 23, 2014, 1:03 PM PST or UTC -8 Hours] In descending order of authority and seniority.

Meaning of the Ranks

Seniority is emphasized within the guild.

Recruits are generally our players that were just invited into the guild.
Other than that, this rank is generally used as a punishment for breaking the rules.

Members are, well, members that have been accepted into the guild and are the fledglings.
They will forge themselves into eventually becoming...

Veterans are players that are recognized to have built a foundation for their growth.
The Members will look up to the Veterans as role models and may ask them questions as to how they can refine their knowledge and skill.

Officers are people that are hand-picked by Senior Officers and Guild Masters to join their ranks to recruit and help forge the Guild's standing.
Players at this stage are to be taken seriously, but will respect underclassmen if they are mutually respected.

Guild Masters are the players that have nearly finished steeling their heart.
They maintain the highest authority within the guild and are willing to help all players, including those outside the guild, to serve as an ambassador of Ironheart.

Requirements to rank up

You may need zoom in as the text may be small. (ctrl+mouse wheel scrolling or ctrl+ "+ or -")

If you would like to apply for promotion, contact a Guild Master or Officer.

There will be exceptions to these requirements.
