can you use crowns in the bazzar forums? i always wondered?

what is the general opinion on gear sets?

apart from the appearance, are there any inherant bonuses associated with complete sets ( the wiki doesnt list any) or is it more advantagious to pick and choose between sets to min/max both item bonuses/resistances and spread the usage of shards and harder to get materials.?

Just wondering how the ctr on bombs work excatly.

For example, if i have a haze bomb ctr medium, then when i get an ash of agni to lvl 10 with also the medium ctr as bonus, does this give max or very high or high ctr in total?

Cheers

Kay listen, my name is xStealz and I'm completely new to this game. I was under the impression that this game was free. When I started playing, it was taking away energy. I searched how to get more energy and it cost money. If I wanted a game that cost money I would go play WoW(World of Warcraft.)

Could you get more than 100 mist energy? Because for upgrading your weapons you need 200-400 energy. Or do you need CE?

What tier 2 gun should I pick? I thought of autogun maybe.

So in a guide I read it said for you to get a calibur/cutter and a colbalt helm and armor and a defender shield. In game I saw many people have this combination. Why is that?

Hey guys! This might be a pretty stupid question, but that's why it's in the New Recruits section. So, I've been focusing my view on the Divine Avenger and Graviton Vortex as my late game weapons (yes I know it's too early to think about end game, but, still) I realize that the Divine Avenger deals normal AND elemental damage. The thing is, Beasts are weak to piercing but RESIST elemental. Lets say that the base elemental damage is 50, and the normal is 75. Will the normal stay 75, but the elemental deal like, 25? Or would the normal stay 75, but the elemental deals negative? Thanks! :D

I recently brought a hatchet recipe, and learned it, but have no clue how to actually make it. How?

Hey all, I'm a new recruit, so to speak. I'm a little confused about the whole gates and levels system in Spiral Knights. Is it at all possible to choose which levels you actually go to? It seems to just be random whenever I go into a gate. It doesnt really bother me, except sometimes I want to get particular items and the icons on the gates dont seem to match those on the underground map. Ive looked through the wiki, and there isnt really anything explaining exactly how the levels work, was hoping some intelligent knight could explain it to me? Thanks in advance!
