The Emberlight Adoption Agency Has Arrived!
Nonna, a representative for the Emberlight Adoption Agency has come to Haven seeking Knights to care for baby monsters that have lost their way in the Clockworks! Head to the Haven Town Square and see how you can purchase the following accessories:

- Love Puppy Monster Pocket
- Chroma Whelp Monster Pocket
- Mewkat Monster Pocket

Each monster pocket is fully animated and attaches to the front of any compatible armor.

Receive a FREE Mirrored Lockbox for every $9.95 spent in a single energy purchase! For a limited time, every $9.95 spent in a single energy purchase will award you with a new Mirrored Lockbox!

Mirrored Lockboxes contain one random item that will change your Knight's appearance, such as height modifiers and eyes. A Mirrored Lockbox requires a Silver Key to open. Silver Keys are available from the Supply Depot.

Offer available through April 22, 2012

Now with Blast Processing!
Spiral Knights has received a significant performance boost! SEGA has shared with OOO the secret of ‘Blast Processing’ and it has result in faster, smoother gameplay across the board! (Ok, maybe we just introduced a bunch of graphical optimizations.)

Many players will find they now have greatly increased framerates in even the most hazardous of levels, such as the Ironclaw Munitions Factory. Please note that this boost will not necessarily be noticeable by every player, though some will see a dramatic change.

Missions
- The 'Total Caketastrophe!' Prestige Mission is no longer available.

Items
- Eyes on the various jelly helms will not recolor to the knight's personal color.

Bugfixes
- Fixed knight actions occurring while a dialog is open

Anniversary Event
The Spiral Knights Anniversary Celebration has come to an end. The decorations have been taken down, the frosting cleaned up and the Total Caketastrophe mission is no longer available. Biscotti thanks all knights for their assistance in cleaning up a mess that never happened.
- Bulky and Maskwell will remain in the Town Square until April 23, when all Cake Slice tokens expire.
