1) Battle Sprites (Pets)
http://forums.spiralknights.com/en/node/72304
^That link there brings you to the general information about pets. Some FAQ for people who don't want to search for it~

Q) What pets are there?
A) There are 3 known Battle Sprites so far, Drakon, Maskeraith, and Seraphnx.
"The smoldering Drakon resembles a dragon and delivers powerful, fiery blasts to your foes. It's ideal for anyone who favors head-on combat.
The divine Seraphynx resembles an angelic cat-like creature and uses its luminous powers to defend the party from attacks. It's a fine choice for knights who wish to aid their fellow party members.
The shadowy Maskeraith resembles a masked phantom and uses its toxic powers to debilitate enemies. This devious sprite is a perfect choice for those that like to hide in the shadows or cripple their foes before delivering the final blow." ~Nick

Q) Ok, so when will they come out?
A) "Battle sprites are still in development with a planned release date in the first half of the year. Keep an eye on these forums for more info!" ~Nick

Q) Cool! Also I have a few more-
A) Questions? Here-
"Answers to a few questions:
- You will ultimately be able to own and raise more than one sprite, though your first selection is an important one.
- You can name your sprite and customize certain aspects of its appearance. The promotional images are just one example of the final form of the three sprites.
- The use of sprites in the Coliseum is still up for debate, though we're only going to include them where it makes sense (not Blast Network).
- The Lab is not solely dedicated to battle sprites.
-Sprites use their skills when you want them to, via a key press." ~Nick

That pretty much sums up what we know about pets so far. Any other questions you can try to find on the forums :)

2) Noobies Information
If you just started playing Spiral Knights, you're probably REALLY confused. This section is dedicated to making you understand the game.
Step 1) Mechanics.
Before you can understand and play the game, you have to know about mechanics. Check out these links if you are confused:
http://wiki.spiralknights.com/Monster
http://wiki.spiralknights.com/Status
http://wiki.spiralknights.com/Clockworks
http://wiki.spiralknights.com/Missions

2) Guilds
As a noobie, you should start out by joining a guild. Guilds help new players get started with the game and learn how to get better.
http://wiki.spiralknights.com/Guilds
http://forums.spiralknights.com/en/forum/3

That should give you a basic feel of the game. Any other questions, try the wiki.

3b)Weaponry
Each weapon is different from another. Sometimes they are too expensive to try them all out, so just research a bit and find some you like :D

3)CE Prices
Some people have been complaining about Crystal Energy prices.
http://wiki.spiralknights.com/Energy
So. Correct me if I'm wrong, but when a promotion happens, giving players a deal if they buy CE, the CE (Crystal Energy) prices lower. When we don't have a promo for awhile, the CE prices go up. It's all about supply and demand. That being said, I'm going to make a hypothesis that CE prices will be low when Battle Sprites come out. Get it?

This post is finished, I may do more in the next few days. Leave comments on it below.

the FAQs as I see them

In case you don't know me, I spend a lot of time answering questions on these forums. The most frequently asked questions are, by far:
A. How do I put a picture next to my forum posts?
B. What is the best way to make crowns?
After those come questions about equipment (and price checks). After those come questions that are answered by these wiki pages: Damage, Status Effect, Party, Abilities, Unique Variant, Shadow Lair.

I do support the creation of a FAQ, preferably on the wiki, where it can be edited collaboratively. But this thread could serve as raw material or rough draft.

Kittens, and @Bopp

Yep, I know you as a helpful poster :) I linked your swordsman guild under the Beginner's Guide, is that alright?

So I heard someone say that

So I heard someone say that the Seraphynx uses piercing and elemental attacks. Can you find a source for this, or is it pure nonsense?

yes, and

Yes, thanks for linking my guide. And I forgot a common question: Is it better to craft or buy? And I forgot two key wiki pages for answering common questions: Energy and Shield. (Newbies have no idea how shields work. I certainly didn't.)

@Batabii

Think this is what you're looking for.
If you scroll down a bit further to Shidara's post, you'll read that Nick confirms the hypothesis.
Might also want to add that all sprites will have some form of direct damage ability.
