Hello! I'm a Spiral Knights veteran, but I stopped playing for a few months and have just recently returned to it (So I'm not sure if this belongs in this forum section or not). I partied up with a fellow Knight but I couldn't figure out how to add him to my full tab, since I'd always pay for his elevator and revival fees. Has the "add to tab" function been moved? Or removed entirely?
How to add teammates to tab?
That's fantastic news! What about the revive fee though? I'd always pay to revive my buddies when they go down.
We now get one "Emergency Revive" per Depth, and past that we have to use our "Sparks of Life" to revive. You can use your own Sparks on another player in order to Revive them. If someone runs out of Sparks of Life, they can revive for 50 Energy (this value never increases). You can also buy 10 Sparks of Life from the Supply Depot for 200 CE (essentially costing only 20 CE per revive), however you can not do this in the Clockworks.
You can find more information in the patch notes for when these were added, under 'Energy Changes' and 'New Revive System'.
Wow, things have gotten much more convenient it seems! I'm excited to get back into playing Spiral Knights again! I remember back in the days where my friends and I were trying to beat the Royal Jelly, and we were dying so much that we had revive costs upwards of 1,000 CE. Thanks a lot!
Also funny thing about my name, I actually just changed my name to that today. I originally named my Knight "Sethsevenfive" in a fit of rage for not letting me use numbers in my username. :P
Elevators are now free for everyone, so you no longer need to add people to your tab.
