With a smallish playerbase, it's become harder and harder to find parties willing to split the 1800e cost for a shadow key.

With a 4 player party, the cost is 450e per person, which is a decent amount for one person to pay when running a shadow lair.

Seeing as though 450e is an acceptable price for one person to pay, why not make it the same for solo, duo, or trio runs?

What I propose is that four different shadow keys be made available for purchase from the supply depot.

A solo shadow key that costs 450e

A duo shadow key that costs 900e

A trio shadow key that costs 1350c

Can the Illuminating Ward be held in the hand like the Teddy Buckler/Power Mitt? Imo it really doesn't look nice hanging from the rear (when I first equipped it I thought it hadn't worked at all.

This would be an item drop similar to attack orb, speed orb, defense orb with a similar level of rarity. Pick it up, and your sprite's cooldown will immediately reset to 0.

Just seems like it'd be a fun thing that keeps the flow going in a fight.

how many times have you broken a cluster of boxes and get almost nothing but items you cant pick up, from a present box,So what I suggest is to lower the chance of getting items from present boxes, as well as making the only items that come from the present boxes the rare items (artillery, mecha knight, lazer turret, slime flute, etc.. pills maybe) With all these neat and fun things to make one go "nice!" instead of "oh another stun vial...."

As always any critique is welcome, and thank you for your time! :)

How many times have you come across a broken down mecha-knight, or lazer turret and thought, "neat, but I need to save energy" or see the bribe meter in lockdown filled anymore, so what I suggest is just to give players a smidgen of refillable energy just like mist but instead of 100 let it be say... 5 or 10 energy, nothing too significant but enough to get a little extra, also MAYBE slow down the rate from how fast it use to fill from the the old days, cant have people just using it on EVERYTHING now can we.

Anyways as always thank you for your time to read this. :)

Soo.. Here is some of my ideas and ideas that i get from people and it would be cool to see in game .

Event ideas :

Japanese/Korean Event :
Starting with Haven . Haven would have japanese cutural dragons everywhere , the tree in the middle of the fountain would be a sakura a giant tree that has pink petals and the Haven's gate would be a giant red gate with lanterns .

6-10 levels. Randomized. All themes. Harder than Grinchlin Assault.

100k cr + 1000 prestige reward for completion.

Unlocked at 100,000 prestige.

- I find it odd that the Social tab extends all the way down to cover most of the chat; you can't even scroll because it covers the portion that allows you to scroll.

- Maybe this is just me, but I find it incredibly annoying that by default, the list of offline players is always unminimized, meaning that the friends list is always way longer than it should be, making it difficult to scroll/find people. There also seems to be some weird thing where minimizing the offline for friends/guild will also, later on when you reopen the social, tab, minimize the online friends/guild lists.

So uh, nevermind the 'players are leaving the game because', or the 'new players can't get into the game because'.

I realized that every time I want to come back to this game, the idea of having to cough up money just to use my loadout turns me away again.

If there's anyone else in the same position, I think this small change would go a long way towards simply letting mid- and long-term players enjoy Spiral Knights again, without first having to set aside ten bucks or a few hours' grinding.

The new update allowing previewing items is nice, so I'd like to suggest some other things I'd noticed:

- Put in some button that allows you to reset/clear any items you're previewing. Currently it seems like you have to reload in order to reset what's in the preview.
- Have some way that you can preview things in the Auction House simultaneously with things in your inventory. It's possible to do this with vendors (I can preview something the vendor is selling along with accessories in my inventory)
