I started playing this game a few days ago, and so far am loving it, enough that I have been considering buying something, as I'm sure Three Rings would appreciate it. I was just wondering whether you guys would consider the starter pack to be a good deal. The one star weapons it comes with aren't of any use to me, as I have mostly 2 star stuff now. The other stuff, as well as the 7,500 CE it comes with though are rather appealing. What do you all think?

The Mist Tanks and Slot

The Mist Tanks and Slot upgrades mean you get more than 7500 CE worth of actual stuff.

(Despite the "All items are bound" disclaimer, I hear that the slot upgrades are tradeable. So if you don't want to use them, you can trade them to other players for a bit more CE.)

It is definitely a good deal, if you intend to spend that much money. You can play and have a lot of fun without that, but if you intend to pute some $$ into the game, that pack is prolly the best deal you can have...

Definitely. You will never want to go back to 2 weapon slots after having the extras though =) The mix of items is great for getting started and it costs about the same as a movie.

Is there any way to make extra weapon slots premanent, or are they always 30 day temps?

weapon slots

Unfortunately always 30 days temp..

I kind of wished that they were 30 log in days instead of 30 calendar days.. but they're just so damn good XD

And Malyce is right, you'll never want to go back to 2 weap slots only.

Note that it seems that the latest update made *all* items bound, thus slots may not be tradeable any more...

What exactly is there in the Starter Pack? I checked out the features listed in the store, but where they say "2 weapon slots, 2 trinket slots," are those PERMANENT or are they the same 30-calendar-day purchase as from the energy-face Stranger in Haven, but bought for money instead of energy?

They are the Same

Theyre the Same. 30 Days Temp.

Also I have a question: can you purchase the starter pack twice?

Disappointing, but I see what you mean. And I'd like to know that, as well :)

The starter pack can only be bought once per account.

Well, gunpuppies! Oh, well, I guess it's for the best - money only ever buying energy is one of the things I like about Spiral Knights. The game isn't gating everything and anything behind real money, just that one thing :)

Got it

Well, I decided to go for it. Thanks for the input guys, and thanks fr the awesome game OOO! Also, an option to buy a permanent (or at least longer than 30 days) slot upgrade would be nice, maybe 3,6,and 12 month upgrades?
