These are dangerous times in the Clockworks, knights. From now through October 6, 2013, ALL danger missions are available at once, rather than the usual daily rotation. Prepare yourselves for this all-U-can-eat danger buffet with the Dangerous Prize Boxes now available in the Spiral Knights Supply Depot!

Dangerous Prize Boxes feature items favored by Lieutenant Desna and her elite Recon Rangers. Recon Ranger gear is designed to intimidate and do as much damage to the enemy as possible. As requested by Desna, their armor is equipped with razor-sharp spikes and other hazardous features, because “Even a dead Ranger should make their foes bleed if they can.”

Recon Rangers are trained never to give up. Each Ranger is outfitted with a shield known as The Bitter End--the name serves as a reminder to all as to precisely when a Ranger is permitted to drop it in battle.
