I've been playing Spiral Knights with a friend for a while, and we always seem to have a disparity where he ends up with WAY more crowns than I do. When he solos Tier 1, he can usually walk away with around 6000 crowns, whereas when I do it it's closer to 3000 even if I go in the same gate around the same time. Even when we party, he somehow ends up getting more crowns than I do.

We tested today in a party -- we did Depth 6 and 7 and wrote down the amount of crowns we started with.

I started Depth 6 with 12339 crowns, and had 14001 by the time we got to Moorcroft - 1662 crowns over those two tiers.
He started Depth 6 with 6264, and ended at Moorcroft with 8804 -- 2540 crowns for him.

Why is this happening? I thought everyone was supposed to get the exact same amount of crowns in a party, but that doesn't seem to be the case when we group up. Am I getting less crowns than I should, or is he getting a lot more than is normal? I don't even know what the average is for a T1 run with Arena, but something seems really off.

Crowns are evenly split. He

Crowns are evenly split. He probably got some auction house refunds during the run and didn't take those into account.

I usually get about 4k crowns on a complete Tier1 run in the Snarbolax gate, but I also wait patiently for arenas and mechanized miles (which have a much greater chance for danger rooms, which I also do). If you just go through any old gate, you can easily end up with far fewer per run than someone who exercises a bit more patience.

I played a JK run with someone before and I had stated something along the lines of "Great run, I made 8k crowns" the other guy told me he only made 3000 and I thought that was odd. We were there for the same levels too. He said he hadn't bought anything so I didn't know what to think really. Maybe other people have had this happen too, I guess we'll find out. Another thing I find weird is that he only got 3k crowns from even the 4 levels after the terminal, he was there before that too so it should have been much more crowns.

This is definatley real. I

This is definatley real. I thought it was just me hallucinating when i went through a T2 arena and only got 650cr, whist my party mates got more. In the end, I blamed it on bad math, but after reading this thread, I think there is a bug.
Also, I lag a lot, playing from china

Oh, lag...

Your crowns don't always update right when a knight picks up the crowns in the game. If either party is lagging, you could have crowns that have not yet been processed at the end of a depth, or on the other hand, could have crowns that were processed during that depth that were 'actually' picked up in the previous depth. If those crowns don't catch up to you eventually though then it's a significant bug.
