With the new patch and the significant changes to the game, a lot of questions have come into my mind. I hope that asking them here will allow me to resolve my confusion, as well as aid anyone else who looks here.

1. Do battle sprite perks stack?

*I recently got a miniscule health bonus from my sprite. If I were to get another heart bonus, would it stack? Or... if the heart bonus I were to gain next time were bigger, would it replace my original one?*

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. How does feeding sprite the wrong food decrease its appetite?

*Does it decrease the rate that a sprite works up its appetite?*

*I have done over 15 complete T2 runs, searching for Glowing Heat Crystals. Unfortunately, the only ones I have found are Dim Heat Crystals. I do not know if it is just my bad luck, or if there is truly an issue with obtaining certain heat crystals.*

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. Why did people see the separate collection of crowns per person a bad thing?

*I recently did a FSC mission run with two guildies and an old friend. We cleared the D25 room quite fast.*

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5. Do chance bonuses upon heating something [armor/helm/weapon/etc.] take the place of another uv?

*Looking at the forge system, it shows a chance of getting rather interesting uv bonuses... my magnus had a chance of getting...eh, can't remember. So anyway, does that uv take up 1 of the 3 uv slots?*

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6. Is there a way to change what material will be used when making sprite food?

*I really didn't like the fact the machine was using my useful materials to make the food. It eventually changes to that it would use my 2.5 mil ecto drops I always collect [interesting how my weird habit helped me out here]. To avoid any unnecessary wasting of good materials, I really want to know if I can choose what material to use.*

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7. Do the different bonus chances uvs on heating weapons change after a certain amount of time?

*Straight question. I have no idea.*

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Many thanks to anyone who posts, and hugs to all (>^u^)>

I'd like to add a question

What do forge prize boxes contain?

2. If you by wrong food, you

2. If you by wrong food, you mean food that isn't under the favored item, it won't. I'm not sure about higher tiered motes/stars, but feeding a 5* mat gets me more heat than with a 1* favored mote.

3. Quite possibly due to what difficulty you were running on.

4. Because instead of everyone soloing a room and collecting all the loot, you would have to run into each room individually to collect, or just travel as a group. I feel like this slowed down the groups of experienced players who can solo rooms efficiently, but didn't change much for the players new to the floor layout and monster spawns.

6. Simply click on the material you wish to transmute with under the arsenal tab to the right. Make sure you choose the right tier material.

1. Your next sprite health perk will be an upgrade of your existing one, and replace it.

2. No.

5. No, your forge price box, double level or temporary heat bonnus will not replace UVs.

6. Yes, click a mat in your inventory.

7. Forge price boxes appear at higher levels.

I have a question

Why dosen't my battle Sprite use its attack. I have very young Maskeraith and when ever I order it to attack my character just points and nothing happens. Am I the only one with this problem?

Battle sprite abilities appear to be extra sensitive to lag. It may be intentional, seeing how others can see you pointing even when not using the ability, perhaps because abilities have such long cooldown. If you don't have a bad case of laggytowne, then I dunno.

1. Supposedly there is currently a bug that allows health bonuses to stack with 1 other perk.
2. Yes, it will use up one appetite bar. It will still give a small amount of heat.
3. We still don't know. Search treasure boxes specifically.
4. If you miss a spot you may miss several crowns. Before, your friends would pick it up for you.
6. Yes, select the material in your inventory and click the spot of the required material.

I had this idea recently...

...yet I'm not much of a Forum user so I didn't know about this topic here until recently as you may see here on the link bellow:

This is the one I made - http://forums.spiralknights.com/en/node/85328

The idea was to give a wider access to players who have difficulty in understanding english language. And the questions quoted are exactly the ones I saw.

Something from nothing do have a valid meaning for, as far as I believe, "I am sure most people will appreciate".

I'm confused by Hymura's

I'm confused by Hymura's post. Are you trying to get people to that thread, or just pointing them to the information on it?

Thank you for posting that

Thank you for posting that link, Hymura, but I believe my thread was made before yours. Also, Alu is right, and your thread should have been in the New Recruits section, since it is geared towards helping clear up misconceptions in the game.

And thank you to everyone who has posted.

Skill point #?

How many skill points do you get, going from 1-100? Enough to max every augment of every skill? Or do you have to pick and choose?

@Saharaan:Don't worry at level 100 all your skill will be maxed BUT in higher level you'll get more adon and less skill point.EX:Frrom level 0-15 you'll get a skill point like all 2-3 level but from level 70-90 you'll get like one all 5-6 level (when i say 2-3 and 5-6 its not the true stats.)
