oh and the harness
About your harness question: All that harnesses do is change the damage type dealt by your sprite. Therefore the ideal harness depends on which monsters you'll be facing. If you are new to the game, and just want to get one decent harness, then go for the ones that deal normal damage. I recommend that you upgrade it to the highest level, to get the maximum skill cool down reduction.
You can examine the Gate Map, by clicking on one of the menus in the lower-left corner of your Spiral Knights window. It will show you the icon for each level in the mission.
To decode the icons, try reading Gate#Level_Icons. The short version is: purple is slimes, dark orange is gremlins, light orange is beasts, dark blue is fiends, light blue is undead, and gray is construct.
By the way, the shape of the icon, and the name of the level, also tell you various information. For example, you can tell the difference between a beast Wolver Den, a beast Clockwork Tunnels, a gremlin Clockwork Tunnels, and a gremlin Deconstruction Zone.
A word of warning: In a few of the unusual missions, the icons/colors are misleading. For example, Blades of the Fallen consists of a single level, whose icon suggests "construct, Clockwork Tunnels". But the mission bears no resemblance to that.
