Pretty simple concept.
The more floors you have completed before you reach Basil at the next clockwork terminal the lower the prices for recipes.

"So why is this needed?" you may ask.
1. Detour people from simply hoping into parties that reach Basil and don't do anything to help. These people disgust me as they simply use others for easy profit.
2. To make it more rewarding to do longer runs.
3. Make it more possible to make a profit from recipes from that are sold from HoH.

Now for the list for floor to price ration:

title ^

projectiles would seem great and theres no reason why they would be in the gun or sword family, since they are not melee nor bullets. I have come up with some ideas of projectiles and maybe ones that relate to promos;

NOTE that these go in the family of vials, remedies, and health capsules.

daggers

simple, small, and deadly
piercing damage

snowballs

low damage (the ones in ld)
normal damage

rocks

common projectiles found everywhere in different types
MOLTEN ROCK:
elemental dmg, 100% chance of fire.
CURSED ROCK
low normal damage, 50-75% curse
ROCK

have wrench wand able to heal your teamates with the charge and revive with heath a quarter of your heath for half of their heath no matter what
And upgrade it to five star

robo gremlin 3000

this is a shock/construct themed sprite can use crystal and a new harness the status harness increases damage of status caused by sprite used by drakon and robo gremlin 3000

Attack 1 lightning wave
Fires a huge wave of light that stays around the knight for 10 seconds weak damage but huge knockback also causes shock
Attack 2 supercharge
Increases party movement speed by max
Attack 3 boom blast
A huge wave fires across the screen does very high damage and chance to inflict shock

Ulitimates for lightning wave

i know this might be funny but cool make shields deal the damage that they shield against example: dread skelly would do shadow and normal ps this is only on shield bash this is to make it more popular

shield bash should do more damage for the same reason as the top suggestion

So pretty much shields would have abilities that you can use.
They would replace shield bash, but take more damahe from your shield.
Eg. Swifstrike buckler
Asi med boost but takes all health from your shield.
Volcanic Plate shield
Fire resist and your shield goes down twice as fast but people who hit your shield take damage.
Snarby shield(don't know the name)
You slam your shield down and spikes travel down a straight path.
This takes out your shield. Previous lines have the same thing too.
Owlite shields

Let OOO make a beam gun! Let them make a gun that shoots a beam!

Every other itty-bitty detail can be discussed below.

I started playing spiral knights again after they took the energy for alchemy off, but now the alchemy orbs are just as annoying...
I haven't had much luck in finding elite orbs however i find 1 every 2 rounds i play which takes long so anyone got suggestions on how i can get them quicker? (i tried buying energy for around 7.7k crowns but that takes long too)

Also if possible for Admins, can you make the drop rate higher for them?

So.
We bring back PART of the old revive system.
For reving after you have lost your revive people can revive with health.
This would bring teamwork back because everyone is forced to be selfish with sparks.
Instead of the old revive sytem ee have a spark system.
However sparks would not give a stun as strpng as it is now. And the dmg boost would be taken out or lowered.
I think this would be good, because the old revive system sucks for soloists, but the nee system is bad for a lot of us.
Please tell me what's wrong if you dislike this.

I was playing Tier 2 Lockdown with a friend who's name I will hide for no apparent reason (Problem, Vox-Nihili- wait what), and when the match ended I said as a random comment: "2v2 LD plz", my friend though it was a good idea! So we started throwing stuff to it making the mountain grow.

So it ended like this:

2v2 Lockdown Match.

1 capturable-area.
300 Points to win.
The map should have 4 paths leading to the only area available to capture.
The said area will give 15 points to the team who owns it.
6 minutes is the time limit.
