Need Help!

Hey guys! I recently rejoined the game, and it looks amazing. I'm somewhat addicted, aha. However, there are still a reasonable amount of questions that have been hindering my gameplay, I'd love some answers!
1. The Haven is just 5 maps? Or is there more to explore / discover?
2. Can someone link me to an achievement guide?
3. Is the 'core' just 1 randomly changing dungeon? Is end-game gameplay good?
4. Alchemy, what's this!
I'm also looking for new friends! I'm super happy to dungeon with anyone~

Friendly guy
Is Erlade your name you use in Spiral Knights?

Levels
Specifically, when do the levels get hard? Because I've got a hot edge sword and a freeze gun; and I can get through each level in like, ten minutes. So when do you expect me to die for the first time?

depends
It depends on how skilled* you are, whether you play with expert teammates, etc. But I would expect you to die in the Royal Jelly Palace (mission Sovereign Slime, 5-2), if not before then.
At the start of the game you can complete every level by walking up to the monsters and hitting them until they die. Later in the game, doing that will get you killed almost instantly. The damage dealt by monsters scales up much faster than your armor does, you see.
(* Skilled means some combination of quick, knowledgable about the AI, patient, decent network connection and computer, etc.)

everything's been answered but achievements
I think the default key is "O" for achievement in game, if not click p and find the achievements tab at the top, mouse over them and they explain how to get them

1. Haven is just Town Square, Arcade, Bazaar, Garrison, Lab, Advanced Training Hall, and Hall of Heroes. It's not really supposed to be a mysterious place that you explore to discover secrets. It's supposed to be home.
2. Have you read the wiki page Achievements?
3. You might be confusing the Clockworks with the Core. The Core is seen in only one mission (Dreams and Nightmares), and kind-of-seen in Shadow Lairs. It's always pretty much the same. But the Clockworks is a pretty big and diverse place. Some parts of the Clockworks are highly random, and other parts are carefully planned.
Yes, end-game gameplay is great. The game gets much more challenging as you progress through it. You sometimes see complaints on the forums, usually of two kinds. (A) 5-star Radiant Fire Crystals are hard to get, so completing your 5-star equipment takes a long time. (B) Players burn through the content and then complain about the lack of new content. This is life.
4. You should work your way through the rank missions. There are a few in rank 2-2 and 4-1 or 4-2 that explain alchemy. Or you can just read the wiki page Crafting.
In general, our wiki isn't perfect, but there's a huge amount of information, so check it out. And welcome to the game. :)
