The Katastrophe comes to an end, and we all wait eagerly for the next event. However, while I had been waiting for the Katastrophe for a long time, I found myself horrifically unprepared. I know there are probably tons of posts on this, but I couldn't find any, not on Google nor the broken search function of this website. Does anyone know the order of events? Also, could advice be given on good gear for these events?
Event Order
According to past patterns, we should have gotten tortodrones for the past two weeks, but instead we got kats. Go figure.
As such, the katastrophic confrontation > shroud of the apocrea > march of the tortodrones pattern has been broken, so really, it's more up in the air if we're getting a "event reset" and will now follow the pattern again (or perhaps getting another event added into the mix), or if events are now in a "whenever they feel like coming around" state instead of a rotation.
I didn't notice your question about gear. To find information on that, try Google (not the forum's built-in search) for each event specifically. For example, to find suggested gear for Shroud of the Apocrea, search for "shroud apocrea loadout site:forums.spiralknights.com" (without the quotation marks).
Maybe some posters in this thread will add some other specific remarks. Good luck.
The relevant wiki page is
http://wiki.spiralknights.com/Category:Events
On that page, there are only six recurring events. You can then read the wiki page for each one, to figure out when it typically happens during the year. If you could give a summary here of what you find there, some players might appreciate it.
