I have just started a new account after a little "hiatus" away from playing Spiral Knights. It seems like they've updated it and it looks a lot better, so is the game play. But here is my problem:

I'm in the Rescue Camp and Rhendon has just given me the Mission "Securing the Camp". But every time I go to click Start is says in the chat box: "Insufficient Energy". Can somebody please tell me how to fix this or what's going on?? My energy bar on the bottom-right isn't showing up either if that helps...

...that is odd, I'm pretty sure that mission isn't one that actually uses up any energy.
You should probably report it as a bug in game, since that isn't something I can help with.

Normally the obvious answer would be that someone has played and run out of mist, but given that it's a new account and you're still on the non-energy missions, that should not be an issue here. :U

Mist.

That mission does not cost energy, but you still need 10 mist to start the mission. Bugged.

Same with HoH. If I dont have 10 energy, it wont let me go there, but It doesnt take my energy when I do go there.

But still.

He should have hardly used any energy in the process of getting to rescue camp as he would have had 100 mist from doing nothing for at least 22 hours.

Unless he did something before, in which case yes you do need 10 energy to start the mission.

You're not the only one.

You're not the only one. :P

I've got a friend with the same prob, but when the Insufficient Energy came up before the Secure the Camp mission, she found she just had to talk to Rhendon before she could start the mission. Then the same Insufficient Energy message came up in her chat, and she can't do the Crossing the Chasm mission (even though she finished all her previous missions & spoke to everyone at the camp).
These missions aren't s'posed to cost any energy yet (the mist energy meter doesn't show up yet, of course).
Other players were able to poof away t'do the mission, but she couldn't even be invited into their parties for some reason.

We're both using macs & not playing through steam.

Thats not really a problem

coz... every time u create a character ur mist goes back down to 0.So u just have to wait till tomorrow and btw i think the bar isnt there coz maybe its part of the game in the beggining. so anyways , maybe once u reach heaven the bar will appear.

That's not true.

Your energy goes down by 5 when creating a new character, not your entire energy reserve.

@Devilite

Not necessarily. If the account has had CE paid, then the mist tanks are separate. Your new alt thus starts with 0 mist.

Mist Energy

Usually if you have more than one character on the same account, or same computer, if one character has used up all of their energy the other ones will have no energy either. The energy bar doesn't show up before you get to Haven anyway.

I think you need to wait a day for your energy to go back up and try again then, without using energy up on any other characters you may have. The energy is probably being used for other characters if you have them.

I had the same problem and this worked for me.
