Are you going to answer yourself?

1) Arms Appropriation.

2) Slightly above 3,200E to buy OCH. Somewhere around 250kCR to buy that 3,200E to buy OCH.

3) ~10k

4) 575

5) Increased Fire Resistance: Maximum somewhere down the line when crafting an Aegis. Needless to say, I don't try to craft UVs.

6) Imperium Knights. I'm pretty sure that doesn't even exist anymore.

7) haha

8) Are you trying to say I give value to any of my items?

9) -10

10) 7)

1. If you had to simply erase any mission or level from existence, which would you choose?
Yeah... Arms Appropriation...

2. What was the highest ammount of currency you ever had? ( Counting both CE and CR )
1.2 million cr. It was during one of the SK anniversary, when I learned you could sell prize boxes for like 300k+ cr.

3. What was the highest price to buy Energy in the Supply Depot market you have ever seen?
~11.5k cr. Admittedly it was a weird anomaly. At the time, OOO were messing with the cr payouts, and ended up dramatically increasing the payout of FSC (Something like 10k to 14k cr per run). It was awesome for a while, but yeah the CE market reacted accordingly.

4. How many Ecto Drops do you currently have?
6201, although I occasionally sell them in bulk to vendors.

5. Best UV roll you ever got?
In terms of punch rolling, it'd be Fire Max on a BKC. However I used to do a lot of mist crafting. My best mist craft is ASI High + Grem Med on a Brandish (which eventually became my Acheron). Alternatively, my "best" mist craft was a Flourish with Slime Med + Construct Very High.

6. What was the first guild that you actually stayed for a long time in it, formed some good memories, etc etc
Heavenly Swag

7. How much time did you grind to get a Dark Book Of Rituals? ( If you ever grinded for it )
Probably about 20 hours before I used a credit card.

8. What is the item you own that you value the most? ( Excluding stuff like Pioneer's Medal, which are pretty obvious )
My first Heavenly Iron Helm. Relating back to #6, in order to become a veteran in Heavenly Swag, you needed a helmet with a halo. I decided to make my halo a reward for my first Shadow Lair run.

9. From a scale of 1 to 10, how good are you in Lockdown?
Hard to say. I only play Recon, so I cant directly compare myself to most Strikers. So let's just say 7.5.

10. What is your least favorite Event?
Solstice and/or Equinox

1.
I'm tempted to say Compounds, but really they can be fixed by just buffing mini drops, adding more loot and CHANGING THE GOSH DARN END SECTIONS

2.
CE is like 7k, I think CR was like 50k

3.
I believe around 8-9k

4.
Too many

5.
CTR Med on my Shivermist, and that was without Punch

6.
The one that I made myself

7.
What is this "grinding for book of dark rituals"? Don't you just use money

8.
Uh, my Shivermist because of that UV

9.
I'd like to think about 3 but Australia makes me say -14

10.
I like the events with gameplay and couldn't care less about prize boxes so idk

I'll answer a few things, why not.

1. Arms Appropriation basically doesn't exist to begin with. Except for crazy people.

2. My highest point was 200,000 crowns and 160,000 energy.

3. About 11,000 crowns, more or less.

4. I'm not even going to bother checking.

5. CTR High on a Splinter Bomb. Having Ultra CTR on my current Sun Shards makes me very happy. Alternatively, ASI Med CTR Low Grem Low on a Sudaruska. Not entirely useful, but that ASI and CTR does stack up nicely.

6. My current and only guild I have ever been in: The Recon Rangers.

7. Considering I missed almost every single Black Kat event thus far due to various reasons, I have done almost no grinding whatsoever. If you meant running FSC for enough crowns to eventually buy one from a merchant, I never bothered doing that either.

8. My Dangerous Diablo Helm. Links back to my favorite guild. Previously I greatly valued my Mixmaster, but that links back to my highest currency.

9. 1. I don't even bother with PvP content in Spiral Knights.

10. The Black Kat event. Because I keep missing it.

My list

1. ( I was actually talking about actual levels. But i guess its ok. )

Id remove Compounds. Most people seem to dislike them, therefore it would please lots of people. But if it was to answer personally, id say that level of the Scarlet Fortress that has that square made out of respawning exploding blocks ( idk its name ), i came across it so many times that its hella boring to me.

2. My highest point was about 90k once i figured out you could make some good crowns if you had lots of Almirian Seals. Its really poor for most people that play for hella long, but from someone that usually didnt go past 30k crowns, thats a lot

3. I think i have seen 9.5k or close to that recently.

4. 729

5. I didnt try to roll any UVs yet, but from transmuting : only get good UVs on absolute trash items. I dont have anything good for weapons that go *4 or *5 but i have stuff like ASI and CTR high for *1 items without alchemy path. Life is a pain.

6. My current only guild i have been so far, Brazilian Society. They are the only brazilians i find in this game other than me really. And most people seem to be nice.

7. I never got that event yet, but i '' took about 1 hour '' and didn't get it... Because it was with regular kats, because a troll vanguard told me the book could drop from them when i had like 10~ hours into the game. ( oof )

8. My Combuster, because its pretty much the only full - heated *5 i have, plus it was my only *5 weapon for quite some time. Im trying to get new stuff now tho

9. Id say about 2 or so. The few times i played it were basically me getting destroyed over and over again by people OHKing me with Final Flourish / BTB and massive damage boosts.

10. I haven't played through all events yet, so i cant really give a good answer.

Poothis

My two cents

1. If you had to simply erase any mission or level from existence, which would you choose?

2. What was the highest amount of currency you ever had? ( Counting both CE and CR )
Uh not sure. A little more than 1 million crowns? Probably around 1.3 mil. I think I also had around 5000 energy.

3. What was the highest price to buy Energy in the Supply Depot market you have ever seen?
A little over 10k crowns.

4. How many Ecto Drops do you currently have?
I uh, don't know. I don't pay attention to that and I don't want to log in right now to check.

5. Best UV roll you ever got?
An ASI Medium on my Argent Peacemaker from crafting.

6. What was the first guild that you actually stayed for a long time in it, formed some good memories, etc etc
Benevolent Knights. I miss you Prancing-Pachyderm ;-;

7. How much time did you grind to get a Dark Book Of Rituals? ( If you ever grinded for it )
Uh, technically a couple years? At this point I've gotten two so far in my years of playing.

8. What is the item you own that you value the most? ( Excluding stuff like Pioneer's Medal, which are pretty obvious )
My Argent Peacemaker. I know people don't like the Antiguas, but I love my Peacemaker... Yes even more so than my BKC.

9. From a scale of 1 to 10, how good are you in Lockdown?
Uh... 3?

10. What is your least favorite Event?
Tortodrones I think. The rewards are nice and good, but doing the Tortodrone fight is a pain in my opinion.

Blue-Flood

1) Compounds since i usually just run through it when solo to get to the better loot at the floor below.

2) Maybe 50kCE that I earned, but through donations to the SL event ages ago it was probably close to 300kE

3) @25k cr

4) Only 1! I sell things too often

5) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BmA64cpm2Tk

6) I guild hopped too much, but Oracion is probably the one.

7) First day of the first event I joined a party with Grug, and one dropped on the first floor we hunted

8) hmmm Probably my Magma Driver!

9) A very strong 5 or a weak 6

10) The cupcakes... so weird.

might have some fun

1. If you had to simply erase any mission or level from existance, which would you choose?
I don't really have any specific area I dislike, but if I simply had to remove a level I'd remove the Scarlet Fortress: Spiral Court level. It's just so short and unrewarding compared to most other levels.

2. What was the highest amount of currency you ever had? ( Counting both CE and CR )
Oh gosh, highest in crowns was like 11.5-12mil, highest in energy was somewhere around 60-80kE? I forget specifics but after I hit 10m I realized I needed to spend this on something.

3. What was the highest price to buy Energy in the Supply Depot market you have ever seen?
I want to say 12-13k, maybe even 14k, but I'll occasionally have dreams about playing really boring parts of SK so that could be part of a dream I had too.

4. How many Ecto Drops do you currently have?
12,688. Don't ask how many shining fire crystals I have.

5. Best UV roll you ever got?
Punch-wise, the best was the ASI high CTR med I got on my gran faust. Craft-wise, definitely my ASI VH cutter. Love that little thing.

6. What was the first guild that you actually stayed for a long time in it, formed some good memories, etc etc
First and only guild I've ever been in is Echo of Silence. Really wish Njthug would stop hibernating. 😠

7. How much time did you grind to get a Dark Book Of Rituals? ( If you ever grinded for it )
I grind kats a lot but I don't remember how much I put in for my first book. I do know I've easily put actual full days or weeks of grinding into it in my SK career.

8. What is the item you own that you value the most? ( Excluding stuff like Pioneer's Medal, which are pretty obvious )
I have so many sentimental items just laying around. One of the first items ever gifted to me before a knight quit I still treasure despite them being just 2* random crafts - they are now my blitz needle, almirian crusader helm, and scintillating sun shards.

Other than that, this soaked aura I've got makes me feel giddy.

9. From a scale of 1 to 10, how good are you in Lockdown?
Probably a 6. I'm not awful but I have on days and off days.

10. What is your least favorite Event?
I love me some events, but my least favorite is kataclysmic confrontation. I dislike it purely from a design standpoint, the actual gameplay is OK, but designing all these kat armors around the idea that you can't actually farm for them is gives me a twitch.

1. None, they're all unique and fun in their own way.

2. 2.4milcr (was when I was bidding on a Celestial Vortex on AH that somebody bought for 5milcr while it was on very short despite another one being for the same price but on very long that nobody was bidding on) or 44ke (after selling my Celestial Vortex when I decided to quit bombing after I collected all bomber armor sets and bombs all 5* including the Kat Hiss Raiment in about a month or just a little over a month but I got bored after I did all of it).

3. About 11.2kcr (was about 3 years ago when I first started the game).

4. I sold them multiple times, if I havent it would probably be like 4k or something (I don't even farm FSC that much anyway). But I have way more shining fire crystals (around 10k or more but this is only cause I'm still crafting and heating stuff).

5. construct low + ASI high on Obsidian Edge that I traded away with a lot other items and crowns (worth about 3.5milcr in total) for a Celestial Vortex.

6. The Terminators, I made a lot of friends their. But I'm usually hopping from guild to guild depending on where the people I like are at or activity level.

7. Boy, oh boy... 381 was the number of black kats I killed before getting my first book (it was about 7am in the morning and I havent slept yet, spent 16-20 hours a day farming black kats and almost died because of it but it was all worth the effort when I noticed something on the ground I was like meh I'm sure it's just a vile seal then my tired eyes saw the chat saying book I was so happy I screamed and ran around the house in joy then I hit my bed cause at that moment it was 22 hours of continuous black kat farming in a single day), the second was at 456 and the third at 605. I killed exactly 666 black kats on my first event. Last event I killed around 200 or more to get my book.

8. My Dusky Bomb Bandolier that I spent literally half a year searching for then bought overpriced (a Dusky Flower, a Heavy Flower and 50kcr because the guy selling it seemed to love it very much) from a guy who got one after he sold it to me by literally 20 seconds, he felt bad for me so he refunded me some of what I paid him (the Heavy Flower).

9. I would say 7.5/10 I view myself as a pretty good striker especially with my ASI and black kat but the problem is that my connection is just pure crap. Some people hit me with swords literally off-screen because of my ping.

10. If it's an event I farm. Doesn't even matter what event it is. But the event I farm the least is the halloween one, I don't like red costumes or accessories and I don't farm for the halloween masks since my spooky halloween costume is the Punkin Bombhead and Ancient Plate Mail (may add a haunted aura once the event comes again). Or the anniversary event, not a single reward there is worth farming for for me. But my favourites are kataclysmic confrontation and shroud of the apocrea. Kataclysmic confrontation is how I get my money since I don't do FSC often. I just don't farm for crowns anywhere till it comes then I go full hardcore getting at least a book and using it to get money to invest in a lot of good deals that earn me more than FSC would (but it seems like buying a Kat Hiss Mail fire low with a Prismatic Cat Tail from AH for 777,777cr wasn't a good deal since nobody is interested buying it). Shroud of the apocrea is awesome too, I can farm for an aura per 2 days but the thing is that I play too much lockdown I don't even bother to farm.

If it must be a level...

1) Whichever Starlight Cradle level it was that put you into an absurdly small room next to a Sloombargo and a bunch of other slimes. [insert rant here]
