Spiral Knights is a top-down, dungeon exploring action MMO. It plays similarly to the 2d Zelda games.>Downloadhttps://store.steampowered.com/app/99900/Spiral_Knights/https://www.spiralknights.com/download.xhtmlThe MMOdventure anons will be playing this for the next 2-3 weeks. Feel free to join in.>>2172128
>>2243009Improved, community-made launcher:https://github.com/lucasluqui/KnightLauncher?tab=readme-ov-fileIt appears there will be an update very soon that will update the Java version that the client uses. When this happens the Knight Launcher will probably be down for a bit.
are you telling me the knights are spiralled
how do I feed my guy? he only seems to wanna eat gems and not my useless low level gear
>>2244169first keep in mind you have to increase it's appetite by clearing levels with it equipped. sprite food may be indicated as it's favorite, but you can and should only feed it any other material you have in your inventory, keep the sprite food for level ups. higher star materials will progress the heat bar further than lower mats, to the point you may not feel progress at all if you only feed it 0 star mats.
>the quarter-yearly spiral knights thread>>2244169you gotta collect color-coded crystals during floors, it gets shared between other players so stacking them is good if everyone is running the same sprite, the colors are as follows:>red = drakon>yellow = seraphynx>purple = maskeraithgreen and blue are useless iirc. once you ccllect enough you gotta craft them at food vendors (reskinned crafting ones), or you could alternatively feed your sprite appropriate materials.battle sprite training is one of, if not, the worst grind of this game, excluding being a smartass and not going with the standard issue equipment you get from rank missions.
>>2244185>green and blue are useless iirctechnically they are not useless since sometimes they will be a requested item for the daily prestige missionin fact when it asks for minerals is basically the only time that mission is worth doing
>>2244262my bad, i haven't played in years and just waiting for the game to die off to grind thetya, however that seems not be the case because of grey havens' sudden return to add moar cosmetics and qol.
5-2 slime boss is raping me
>>2244357collect poison vials throughout the levels and bring them for the final fight, and kill the adds since they heal the boss. if you're still stuck on it in a few hours i can come to help
is there any way to stay logged in? the auto-kick is pretty annoying
>>2244267thetya's development was pretty much suspended *because* of grey haven's sudden return. It blows
>Level editor added>Game is finally updating its backend and using the newest Java editionThis is good, right?
>>2244813very promising for sure
Is it fun?
>>2245122yes. in fact it has one of my favourite boss fights in any game, the roarmulus twins. where the party basically has to solve a switch puzzle to raise and lower gates while the boss fight is ongoing in order to make the 2 bosses hit each other with their attacks. very creative boss design.
>>2245158I've always been interested in playing it but never had the time to try it out, plus all the reviews would often say it's extremely grindy. I'll give it a try. Any tips you could give to a brand new player?
Is the game kill? It's not launching anymore
>>2245340Server down early for the 64bit java switch?
>>2245341Nevermind, it was a problem on my side
>>2245234the main progression gates are the 'hall of heroes' where you can only access certain missions if your gear meets the requirements of a certain tier of armor, helmet, shield, and weapon (you need 1 of each)so for example if you're approaching the 4-star hall of heroes, don't waste materials on making 2 4-star weapons if you haven't made the other pieces yet. make sure you have at least one of each before you branch out because then you'll spend less time at those progress blocks.
is that anon who said hes stuck on the jelly king boss still around? we can party up sometime today if you're still on it
Where is this artwork from? Seems official but doesn't show up.
>>2245576that doesn't look like official art to me. i havent seen official art with blush lines on the knight's face.
>>2245593Found it. Final page after filing a complaint about someone.
>>2244407You could try queuing for a Coliseum match, I'd imagine the game wouldn't kick you out.It has a small registration fee, but it is returned when withdrawing.
>>2245576>>2245593The original version of this artwork is one of the icons you can use when posting in the games' forums, i cant find a full-sized version however
>forced pvp in the random arcade dungeonsBut why
>>2245789? Nothing like that exists
>>2245795I was doing a Golden Rook Gate elite run from Depth 0 to grind some basic materials and by the third or fourth level down I was thrown into an arena stage with two other players and told in a tooltip that I couldn't progress at all unless I fought in the arena against them. I don't understand how or why. I just decided to leave back to Haven because fuck that.
>>2245804lmao what. Arenas are normal pve stages, you just misinterpreted the tooltip. Arenas have 3 battles of increasing difficulty with an elevator to the next floor after each one. The tooltip is just saying that you can leave after the first fight instead of doing all three.
>>2245832I see, my bad. I read battle arena, 3 stages and had 2 other people immediately join the stage at the same time and jumped to conclusions.>>2245838I din't. I just left immediatly after reading the tooltip.
Post any recipes you're looking for from Basil. That way people can buy them and sell them to you if we find them.
r8 my kn8
>>2246121Pretty good, I think it can't be more than 7/10 due to being too monochromatic though.
h8 my n8
Game honestly feels really shitty with the number of enemies that just dodge attacks
the clover crusaders triumph over their most difficult challenge yet
Does this game still have an energy system like it did on release?
>>2246344No, it was removed like a decade or so ago
How the fuck does spiral knights manage to blue ball me on an update in 2026.
are we having fun
Guns are so fucking weirdI genuinely can't tell if the devs are morons or clever for how they've designed this shit
>>2244776>>2244267thetya is dead
>>2246722both
>>2246578technically yes
Quick question for the MMOdventure lads, do you stick around in a game after it's done or do you all just move on? Pretty expensive to make a Guild in this game.
>>2246875It depends on the person and if the game's fun, but most people move on.
>>2246883Figures. I love SK but I can see why most anons just move on to something else.
>>2246875Its one of the better MMOs so far but no there's really content and no reason to stay around
>want silver personal color>wiki says its only obtainable in a gacha pack that was only available for 25 days>or sold some time for 99k energy which is like 200 bucksfuck me then
>>2246973if you play the game a lot and actually get dedicated to it, you can get silver pretty easily with some decent merchanting and fsc'ingbut if youre just gonna stay around a few days then yeah, no way you can get silver PC>>2246955yeah its a shame, once you reach *5 it has such great deliberate combat. This should have been the golden standard for the genre but sadly it was too underdeveloped to be influential.
this game is too fucking grindy i give upwhat the fuck do you mean orbs and heat crystals are like 2% drop chance
>>2247372make sure you're on elite difficulty. for 3* orbs farm mission 5-2 Rise or Fallfor 4* orbs farm mission 6-2 Sewer Stashfor 5* orbs farm vanaduke and buy energy with crowns then buy orbs for energyhttps://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=268682827
>>2247392>buy 100 energy, at 4k crowns, when a basic run only gets you like 600-800no thanks broif the game was built right this would've never needed to happen
>>2247402what are you talking about. i got 1300+ crowns from a NORMAL jelly king run yesterday. not even elite. elite vanaduke gives ~8000 crowns per run. 4k crowns is basically nothing at the point in the game where you need 5* orbs. and the orbs below 5* can be farmed pretty easily rather than bought.
>>2247372also bear in mind green treasure boxes have an extremely low chance to drop rarities (fire crystals/orbs of alchemy) so you want to basically farm missions with lots of RED treasure boxes since those are the ones that have a good chance of dropping rarities.
Get dunked on
>>2247590>rank 2-2Are people just messing around in arcade?
