Hi I am Stushla and this is my first post. I just joined Spiral Knights and was just wondering if there has been any talk/news from developers of PvP battles. Obviously I haven't been following tweets or announcements as I just heard about the game through Steam. Thanks in advance for any help.

In general, does one keep trying to get a UV version of their desired equipment no matter how long it takes or is it often better to just take what you get and just keep going with that? It's been a rather long haul getting the necessary materials for my Brandish and Wolver Coat recipes, so it's something I'm curious about.

If I have the gear requirements to get in, but my friends don't, can I still pull them in? if I've been to tier two already that is. Also, when you buy/sell crystal energy, it's all energy that has been purchased with real money right?

I have been reading, and everyone says they make X amount of crowns doing runs of whatever.
And then make X amount from selling. But where do you sell all your stuff to make this money?

I'm trying to decide which shield to get and how to configure it with my armor to maximize resisitances, but no matter which I choose, the final configuration is going to be weighted more towards piercing or elemental, so one is gonna have to take a back-seat to the other, so I wanna ask you guys -

which is a bigger/more common threat, piercing damage or elemental damage?

Thanks for any help!

I like the game, but the problem is I cant play it for the lag...
Anyone know how I can fix it

A casual glance over the Wiki about damage, levels or gear reveals a very specific design decision in Spiral Knights, that being that specific gear combinations seem to be better against specific foes and... "Not better" than specific other such. However, my question here is how pronounced this is. Can I, for instance, pick one set of gear and just run Clockwork instances with it, or do I really need to try and predict what I'll be fighting and what to pack for it?

How often does the level on the gate change? For example, if I go to moorcraft, and wait for the gate to change to something I want, how long does it take for each level? Also, what should I be doing with my non boss tokens? I have a good amount of primal Sparks and such saved up, I just don't know what to buy with them!
