I know there is so much guide out there, but I promise this guide will be helpful for you guys!

F2P GUIDE

If you have no real money and very jealous to P2P'ers then this guide will make you become equal with those P2P.

While I'm no new recruit, it seems like this subforum would be the best place to ask this question, in case anyone else finds themselves thinking something similar.

I jumped into Spiral Knights way too quickly when I first started, and consequently, find myself sitting here wondering what the true difference between stars and tiers are.
I've gone believing this whole time that Tiers represented if you had all 1* equipment, or all 2*, 3*, etc., but just found out only yesterday that there are only three tiers, not five.

Is there a way to see how many minerals you've deposited in your SK career? I'm curious to see how close I am to the 2500 mineral achievement

i am posting this because i find alot of new people do not understand how to get through it without energy reving alot. here is how to do it:
step 1: do not fight just run get to lift the payout in candlestick is low on heat and cr, unless u have to which will be very little chance of that "example button fight areas with gate".
step 2: always light as much of the candles as u can to keep gremilkat aka big black spookat will go away if he goes near light also do not fight him he is not able to be damaged.

Hey, well I just got back from a 10 Month Break, it's been long, College takes time, a lot of it.
So I just got back to playing some Spiral Knights ;) Yay for me.
So I was wondering if there are any new things aside from Ranks and the Guild Halls that are noteworthy for an IQ that is 10 months late?
Like weapon changes or whatnot.
Anything logical would help (:

This set consist of being a 2 weapon player so you don't have to buy the Weapon slot and you will be less killed or get hit by a monster by using this set.....

Spiral Demo - Volcanic Demo line
Defender - Aegis
Pulsar - Supernova
Fiery Vaporizer - Ash of Agni
Freezing Vaporizer - Shivermist Buster
Blast Bomb - Nitronome

The only item here that is both extremely valuable and expensive is Pulsar but as long as you got the 2 star it wont be a problem getting the recipes....

Purpose for each weapon:

1) Buy some Crystal Energy with cash, preferably during a promotional event. Then create a second account. Both your free account and your paid accounts will receive 100 mist every 22 hours (1 ME every 13 minutes). That’s an extra 6,000 - 9,000 crowns worth of energy every day for free (depending on the market rate). This will also give you the energy you need for crafting gear early on in the game.

2) Do the Rank missions. You get valuable rewards, practice, and knowledge of the game.

I play a lot of LD and If I can sell Bombhead masks without having to unbind them I can start a little store.

Im just curious.

Is it true that voltedge does more damage then glacius? in the fire storm citidel on slags? i saw people doing 400 with voltedge and 200 with glacius but i don't know if they had buffs or trinkets on . the wiki says it's the same
