How about this one?

I made a general guide for new players, add it if you want, or not, the choice is yours.
I try to update if anything game changing comes along.
would make me feel proud if my guide was good enough to be put in a stickied thread.

What Dark Ritual?

I realized myself after rereading my threads I suggested, I decided they were not not the best for here.

But this probably will, every knight should get this down. :)

Edit: Whoops, you already got that on there, my bad!

I have a question to

I have a question to everyone, even to admins, is there a suggestion button on the spiral knights wiki? I have seen lots of new knights/players ask on what other people recommend to get once you start at the game and soon later on when you get the hang of the game. I haven't looked at the wiki so much...and I can't right now, so please answer :).

Elevator tabs

I was doing a mission with a guy who has an elevator pass and he added me to his tab (full-time) What does that mean and how do I use this feature/benefit?

Adding someone to their tab

Adding someone to their tab means that they will pay for all your energy related expenses. There are 2 types of tab adding;

1. Expenses related to elevators.
2. All your energy expenses as long as he is still with you.

Note that these bonuses ends once the group is disbanded.

I made a video introduction guide/series to Spiral Knights linked in the thread over here:

But I'm not sure if I'm as funny as I think I am! It's varying degrees of in depth and serious at times.

You are experiencing a PICNIC ERROR!

It might be a good idea to link to this page. Maybe it's in there and I just missed it. :P

While some of the links in this thread are linking to the same stuff that page gets, this page is updated more automatically so it's bound to not be missing any of the latest and greatest guides by the players.

  1. At the top of the thread there will be buttons labeled "view" and "edit" (You can only see these when signed in to the account that made the thread e.g. OP)
  2. Click "edit"
  3. There you will see a dropdown menu labeled "forum" change the selection to where you want to move the thread
  4. Uncheck "leave shadow copy" if checked

EDIT: instead of using the report function (the report function may or may not keep repeat offenders at bay)

Dealing with:

  • people who use a microphone

mute your system audio (for ease of use, press your "mute" shortcut key if your keyboard has media keys)

  • offensive chat
  1. open chat
  2. type in /clear and press your enter key
  3. every time an offensive message comes up press the up arrow key which remembers previous chat commands
  4. once at /clear press enter again
  5. repeat for all offensive chat

Finding words on a page

When you want to look for words on a page and you do not want to be bothered by scrolling through the whole page, press CTRL + F then type in the word or phrase you would like to find. the numbers show how many matches there are if there are none the numbers will be shown as 0 of 0..
