I made a suggestion about the

I made a suggestion about the Polearm line less than a month ago. Basically, they acted as if you were swinging a sword from a distance, but dealt no damage at point-blank range. You projected your damage 4-5 squares in front of you while staying back. Different Polearms could be equipped, lances, spears, halberds, and some pretty exotic weapons as well. The main 2 were the spear lines and the halberd line, one for rapid thrust and jabbing, the other for swinging and striking.

I'm hoping they do come out with a spear-like weapon, but until then we can only hope.

Your hope may not be in vain,

Your hope may not be in vain, there is a file called icon_lance within the folder containing icons for items in the game. It looks like this. At some point, OOO also decided lances could be an idea for the game, and I doubt they'd leave the icon in if they simply gave up on it. There are other unused icons as well, but I'm not sure how much I could get away with talking about, nor is it relevant.

(As a sidenote, all icons use this colour scheme in the folder. The colours we see in-game are swapped in depending on the item, which saves a small amount of space usage by the game files.)

My guess is a lance would be

My guess is a lance would be the Piercing equivalent to a Troika. 2 Attack combo (Sweep, Thrust). Charge attack would probably forward lunge with a wide strike zone.

No, the icon is real. It's a mission to find it, but the path to the folder is "spiral knights\rsrc\ui\icon\inventory\icon_lance.png"

If you play the game via steam, add "steam\steamapps\common" to the front of that to find it.

My idea for the new wrench wands

I Really Like my Wrench Wand but the problem is that you cant upgrade it!!!
It would be cool if you can upgrade it!

My Idea for the upgraded version of wrench wand
Current Wrench wand 2* Brown Stick with yellow gem an charge attack fires a small blast

-3*
-Fine Wand Brown Stick With yellow Gem (bigger gem than others) blast is bigger than rest
-Flare Wand Brown Stick with Red gem - Charge Attack Fires a small Blast(similar to the 2*version but can inflict Burn)
-Spark Wand Brown Stick with Blue Gem - " " (Inflict Shock)
-Cool Wand Brown Stick with White Gem- " "( Inflict freeze)
-Spike Wand Brown Stick with Green Gem-" "(Inflict Poison)
-Stunt Wand Brown Stick with orange Gem -" " (Inflict stunt)
-Dark Wand Black Stick with Purple Gem - Charge attack Fires a small Purple ball but does inflict anything

-4* Same Concept but it turns into a silver stick and the Gem is Bigger and a small fairy fly around it and the Charge attack will be bigger!
-Classic Wand (Yellow Gem) similar to wrench wand but produces two blast
-Blaze Wand (Red Gem) Fire is coming out of the gem
-Lighting Wand (Blue Gem) shockwave " "
-Frost Wand (White Gem) snowflakes ""
-Toxic Wand (Green Gem) green gas ""
-Blast Wand (orange Gem) orange sparks ""
-Dusk Wand (Purple Gem Black stick ) Purple blast (somewhat similar to nightblade)

-5* Same Concept but the stick is now Gold staff with a diamond shape Gem and has 3 fairies flying around it and the
- Charge attack will depends on its element.
-Divine Wand (Yellow Gem) The normal attack also produce a small blast and the Charge Attack Produces a big ball of explosion
-Volcanic Wand (Red Gem) The Charge attack will produce a ball of fire and when it hit the fire spread out and inflict burn to its surroundings
-Thunder Wand (Blue Gem) " " Ball of electricity " "
- Blizzard Wand (White Gem) " " Ball of Snow " "
- Poisonous Wand (Green Gem) " " Ball Of poison " "
- Mighty Wand (Orange Gem) " " Orange Ball similar to the wrench wand but bigger which causes stunt
-Shadow Wand (Purple Gem with Black Staff) Big ball of darkness

this is my idea you may change it or add a few things but! it would be really cool if there's an upgraded version
