Correct... unless you were
Correct... unless you were already in X* gear before the change took place. If you had bound 5* equipment before that change took place for example you can still use 5* gear even if you are rank 1-1.
Or that is how I believe it works, if I remember right anyways.

That is the best thing I've ever seen.
"Regal" Node Slime Wall. Wow...
Maybe someone unboxed it and it glitched out....
-Nert
P.S. Were you trading for it or something? Cuz u were in a trading screen backround
P.P.S. Your not even rank 8-1 yet? :o

GAHHH
It wasn't an unbox, it was a drop, in a Treasure Box (or so Im told). But thats the point!!! How did a reskinned, promo-only (nonexistent until a few days ago may I add) shield, come in a Prize Box!!! OOO TELL ME!

It is really not that hard to
It is really not that hard to figure out honestly. Item is created, is put into the game, due to a typo the number for the item (every item in every game has a number to identify it in the coding) is added to the items that can drop from a treasure box. Somebody just got lucky.
Or it is supposed to be in the treasure boxes and they just didn't tell the community.
Back before items could be unbound somebody managed to snag an unbound BTS from a box also, probably for the same reason.

Im going crazy and everyone is making me feel stupid, someone tell me Im not stupid..its a promo item dropping from a Treasure Box, better yet, its a nonexistent promo item.
I think some of OOO's coders have been playing to much of the drinking game.

Yeah um...
Your not stupid. Happy?
As Gwenyvier said, its probably a coding problem where one number made it regal, not toasty or divine or something.
They might be paying to much of the drinking game.
If I can I would check the code (as I've always loved coding and figured out some coding) but I don't think there is a way to check OOO's codes, so its not my problem.
-Nert
EDIT: Not one number multiple numbers cuz coding isn't 1 number = 1 letter

Something rarer than the Darkfang shield then.. at least for now.

Hmm
Thats what Ive been told *starts grinding for a infamous Regal Node Slime Shield*
Also, whats with OOO's fetish with rare shields

OOO creates multiple shields to shield themselves from the various types of trolls and wailers of the medieval community.
Confirmed by [Redacted].
...Nonexistent shield though? Rarer than the Celestial Shield? Most likely- no, of course it is! Probably the only one in existence.
...Or maybe I'm just oblivious and I forgot if there are less Celestials than Darkfangs.
Sun, 04/19/2015 - 22:07
#13
Well Well Well
I may be wrong, but I believe there is only 4 Darkfangs...And there seems to be only one of these. So yea, rarer than Celestial and Darkfangs.

This begs the question: Does
This begs the question: Does this means the other promo non-cosmetic items are on the drop tables too? (i.e. Mixmaster, Green Ward, Celestial Sabre, etc)
It definitely seems fairer. They'd still be rare enough to the point that they won't drop in value, but they still spawn allowing people in the future who missed the promotion to get their hands on the item.

Hmm..
I think Im going to try to collect some serious data on this. I was told it dropped in Iron Edge Arena: Beastly Brawl. In Beastly Brawl you need piercing damage and resist, so maybe the Node Shield (its piercing resist) dropped cause of the piercing arena.
Does that also mean that you could get a Mixer in say a Thunder Fist Areana: Wrench Warfare?

So Promo equipment pieces
So Promo equipment pieces have been obtainable all along (or not) ... Very interesting! Like Hexzyle said above, it looks like Mixmasters, Grills, Furious Forks, Slime Walls, and perhaps other items such as Shadow Lair equipment are possible to find...
That also leaves me hanging: equipment drops aren't manually placed in treasure boxes, right? They are automatically generated in the treasure boxes unless purposely unavailable from being discovered.
Maybe the Regal Slime Node Wall had an error within the coding that allowed it to spawn in the treasure box... who knows.
If I find a Promo equipment item I'll DEFINITELY let everyone know...

Heh
Sounds like another tactic to get people back in the Clockworks. Clever...
Everyone put down your toothpicks and fausts and spam those arenas!!!

It's not really an error.... unless it was intentional, it's more like an oversight. (When a game's coding gets quite large, emergent things begin to happen because you forgot to tell them not to) The Crushers/Walls that occurred in prize boxes obviously were hand-typed in, each one was written in and the percentage typed in manually.
Drops, obviously occur completely automated. The theme and status of a level is used to calculate the drop tables (based on the equipment's type and status etc), and then a random piece of equipment is picked from that. As it seems, if a Crusher/Wall is picked as the item drop, either the DEFAULT value for the "theme" part of the item was used, (maybe regal is theme=0? Just like if you basic spawn a slab in Minecraft it always spawns the slab with damage value 0, which is smooth stone slab) or there's some mechanic that checks if it's a "themed" item, then randomly selects a theme from the list, I can imagine this is how Iron Lockboxes work. If this second instance is the case, that means we may see Volcanic and Prismatic Walls and Crushers sooner or later.

I have added as much information as I could gleam about this item to the wiki. The wiki should update with this information in a couple of days, if not already.
It was found in a D28 treasure box in an arena sometime early August, likely the 9th. One of the arenas around during that time was either an Iron Edge Arena: Beastly Brawl or Slimey Showdown. I am fairly certain it was beastly brawl. Some concerned players contacted us wiki editors here, where we had to clarify a few things. Everyone is correct about "regal" not being available from the Slime Prize Box. As far as we know, this is indeed a unique item, one-of-a-kind, etc. For now. And only if you don't consider the other Node Slime Wall colors to interfere with what you consider to be "unique." Well, we all know unique variants aren't all that unique, haha.
I have the shield in question unbound in my inventory and will show it to anyone who wants to see it. I'd like to sell it but it's also kinda like honey, so I like it. Just send me a mail or /tell. If I sell it obviously I can't show it then, but there's views on the wiki for that.
EDIT: I have sold the shield to someone it looks very sexy on. They don't mind if you want to see it - their IGN is "Youwantcookies."
I've contacted support about the "intent" of items like these, we'll see what they have to say. I will update here unless an Admin says something about it before I get a support response. Let's hope the intent is to get us into the arcade more, and not a "glitch" or "oversight."
Support says:
"This is intended to be in game as part of the loot that may be found in the Clockworks. I'm pretty sure there are several more items like this that will sneak in treasure boxes but I don't have exact information about them. We will have to wait and see if the lucky knights come forward!"

Umm...
I'm extremely sure "fire mixer" is entirely different than a "different color of a thing." One's an aesthetic, the other is very much tied up with gameplay mechanics. If you want to see a "fire mixer," mention it in the suggestion forums with other ideas for spiral knights. Perhaps a staff member will see it, like it, and it will be put in the game. Maybe. I would definitely not count on a "fire mixer" or any statistical variant of the mixer (or other unreleased/unadvocated stat weapons) dropping. On top of this, items usually have their own icons in the files, you can check your official sk folders to see if there are "new" things in there. Bear in mind, some of these icons do not pertain to players and are not actually released for players (we've known about the third troika and others for a long time). Don't upload them haphazardly, or edit them, just look.
For the curious, this thread started in 2011 lists a lot of what players have found in treasure boxes from the clockworks. The Regal Node Slime Wall is an extremely unusual find because it is a 5* recolored (non-advocated) version of a promotional item, when most equipment drops we have seen so far are craftable and tend to be lower star.

^ nice
Hasn't it been like this for a while now? You can't equip higher tier equipment without the proper rank.
