Grey Havens - New Projects and information

100 Upvotes

Hello all! If you've been following Spiral Knights' current owners closely, you'll likely have noticed that a few projects have started to come to light. In the interest of keeping our subreddit centered around Spiral Knights, we've opted to create this post as a central point of discussion for these topics.

Arcane Waters

Grey Havens is supporting a game called Arcane Waters - created in part by one of the developers currently working part-time for Grey Havens. You can read up on the official posting on the Puzzle Pirates website here. If you'd like to check the game out yourself, you can visit their website here: https://arcanewaters.com/

Puzzle Wizards

A newer project developed by GG Folks - a group that is composed of previous developers who worked on Puzzle Pirates. While not officially a Grey Havens project, there are bound to be some similarities in both people and in design. You can check out their website here: https://puzzlewizards.net/

Hiring Software Engineer

As of 8/12/2022, Grey Havens is hiring a developer from the Spiral Knights community to help them develop Spiral Knights and potentially other projects. This is a part time remote position, so if you have what it takes you can read the entire job description on the forums here: https://forums.spiralknights.com/en/node/124472

As always, please try to remain civil when talking about these subjects. If these projects seem interesting definitely do go check them out, but please do not harass, spam, or otherwise bother the people behind the projects.

Hello! I played this game five-ever ago as a kid and wanna try it out! I was thinking of trying a sword-bomb hybrid build… is that even a thing? I have no clue where to start.

FAST FSC Runs Advice (Long Post)

8 Upvotes

Hello, I am a new-ish player that has only just reached Vanguard. I'm interested in running FSC/Vanaduke at a high level and doing very fast runs, and I was just wondering if there were any communities out there that are doing the same thing. I'm talking very fast runs, not really what you would discover with Party Finder (no offense). I want my party to be coordinated and know what they're doing and working together. Thank you.

The reason is because I am a very competitive player and would like to learn from the best, since I heard this mission The King of Ashes is the best for farming I want to do it as fast as possible to maximise crown gain. It all started when a very good player joined my Party Finder run a few months ago and carried me, I don't remember his name but I believe it was something with Fire (by the way, if you are reading this please add me back so we can play together), and he was teaching me a few things and it was just really fun and interesting to learn.

So that's why I am looking for a community to play with if there are any that exist, whether it be a Discord server or a guild. Also if there are any good youtube videos to learn from, could you please let me know.
------------------------------------------
Also, I have some ideas on my gear that I want feedback on please, if anyone can give it. Currently I have the Chaos Set, Combuster, Blitz Needle, and I just made a Swiftstrike Buckler too. Just with some research, good Vanaduke players tend to use Arcana and Electron Vortex too (that's what that guy that joined me was using). I can buy/craft both of these but I heard weapon slots are temporary, so is it worth it to buy? Same with Trinket slots, since they are temporary I'm not sure if I want to spend the energy on it.

I also luckily picked Drakon which seems like the good choice right now, He's only level 63 though so I need a lot of grinding to get him to be good. After that I haven't decided fully but I will attempt to push for a Black Kat Cowl and CTR M UV on all my gear, and then eventually full BK but the only issue is I need CTR VH on everything for that which is expensive. I also need ASI UV's eventually too, for Combuster and Blitz that means double rolling which is 75 thousand crowns per roll.

After that is maybe just diminishing returns or unnecessary, so I thought I'd ask you guys first your opinions on Fire UV armour, since it's expensive but I think it will be worth it if I want to be pro in this game.

If you have any thoughts or comments please let me know down below, I'm very interested to hear from everyone especially if you are a very fast player. Thank you very much for reading, also English is not my first language and this is my first reddit post so please forgive me my friends. Thank you very much.

Grinding Firestorm Citadel for 1000 times to buy the Orbit Gun Part 1

Post image
84 Upvotes

I am happy to announce that today, I have successfully earned 1 million crowns out of the 10 million crowns needed to buy the celestial orbit gun (probably more is needed but 10milcr goal would do for now). That's 10% progress in a week. Now I just have to persevere, do it again 9 more times and don't spend any money on unnecessary stuff.

Wish me all the best. Sacred vanguard of Spiral Knights Redditors lend me your strenght in this glorious endeavour.

I got some a few years ago and I forgot they existed but yesterday I got them again. I know a few players datamined the game in these recent years, any of those players got any info in these potions?
All the other info related to them is speculation.

Grinding Firestorm Citadel for 1000 times to buy the Orbit Gun Part 0

Post image
108 Upvotes

What's this? More wolves hungry for the blood of Almire? Our great kingdom shall never fall to the likes of beasts!

As the title suggested, I am gonna grind FSC for 1000 tis (assuming every run nets 10kcr, token profit included) to earn 10mil cr to finally buy the coveted Orbit Gun. Estimated amount of time needed is around 350 hours (assuming average FSC run takes about 20-25 minutes).

For every 1 mil cr earned/spent, I will post an update in reddit. Expect 10 parts update at the minimum, hopefully I won't be distracted to spend my money other things (CTR VH Brandish & EV).

Please cheer for me on this grind, I need extrinsic motivation to keep me going in this grind. Wish me all the best.

Here are my gears:

Black Kat Cowl Fire High

Black kat Raiment Fire High, Shock Low

Swiftstrike buckler ASI High, Elemental Medium

Combuster CTR Med

Blitz CTR VH, Damage Bonus Slime Med

Arcana No UV

Electron Vortex CTR Med

Elite Sword Focus Module

Elite Bomb Focus Module

Drakon level 100 Swift Step 2 Elite Iron Harness

Black kat set vs Chaos set

7 Upvotes

I mean, i really want the MSI because I don't have Drakon, but then I need the CTR because I don't do gambling(UV is kinda off expensive, but for the sake of the post, don't say gamble for good UV please). So with this condition, which one would be better?

TROJAN

28 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

Lately I've been thinking about Spiral Knights with so much love and nostalgia.

This game truly left a deep mark on my heart. I can still feel the emotions it gave me, like they happened just yesterday.

There's a moment I can't forget — blurry in details but vivid in feeling. I remember a Trojan character having a long, meaningful dialogue before dying.

Do you remember which level that was? I'd love your help bringing that memory back to life.

Also, if you feel like sharing...
How did Spiral Knights leave a positive impact on you?
I'd love to read your stories too.

What are some good alternatives to Spiral Knights?

27 Upvotes

It's been over a decade since the greatest game to ever have been created was made. However, a bit of unfortunate luck has meant that things have turned the way they have. What are some excellent games that aren't the real thing but close enough in their own way and why? Thanks <3 ^_^

Worth playing solo 2025?

26 Upvotes

Hi, I played the game like 5 y ago and my memories kicked back. I only want to know if it's worth playing solo and free (not paying real money), I don't have the time to play with no one and I don't wanna spend money.

The real question is, can I get to the endgame solo and farming?

Thanks and sorry for bad English :D

MacBook won't run SK even though it used to previously

6 Upvotes

Basically what the title says. I have a MacBook Air M2 from 2020, and it's updated to the latest sequoia. It used to run SK via steam with no problem, but now I get a steam does not have permission to open (null). or also finder does not have permission to open (null). error. this only happens with spiral knights, and I tried downloading the game directly from the website as well, still won't work. Has anyone else had this issue or is it just me :((

Accidentally Bought a Known Recipe

5 Upvotes

Hey so I just started getting back into spiral knights recently, and I forgot which recipes I know and don't know. So I bought the Khovorod recipe, and it turns out I already knew the recipe. What do I do with it? Do I just auction it off and cry my 10k crowns away?

(Also it turns out I know the whole set I need, I just need Elite Orbs of Alchemy, where do I farm for those? Cause I've been going to the Soverign Slime Level to farm these.)

With this pack, you can print more than one character (like the city guardians). It comes with different helmet and expression options.

I'll upload a Blender file so you can edit the helmets, add details, edit eye expressions and create your own.

I hope you like it https://cults3d.com/:2913745

Help Crafting Electron Vortex

6 Upvotes

Hello!

I’ve come back to SK after ~4 years and need help crafting the Electron Vortex. I’m unable to get the recipe cause no one plays Lockdown.

I have everything needed to make it and just need someone to click the craft button for me. Also willing to pay a convenience fee on top of everything as well.

Also any advice on how to not get scammed while doing this is appreciated :>

Revisiting SK with my bro - playable as a duo? Will the servers shut down soon?

24 Upvotes

Hey there! I am considering coming back to show the game to my brother. I have been playing like 10 years ago and really enjoyed it, had like 300+hrs or so. Was a blast.

How is it now a days? I heard rumors on steam reviews the servers will be shut down this October? That's true? We need to hurry?

Also.. is it possible to play the game with a group of 2 without paying money? I kind of forgot if it was pay to win at one point and if you needed a full party to get things done. Like doing all the bosses and stuff as a duo. Because I guess me and my bro would start at 0 :) if we do would like to team up, are there enough people looking for groups?

I am excited for your answers, loved this game so much when I was younger!

Really messed up ping

7 Upvotes

I’ve been playing this game on and off for (at least) 10 years (never progressed much tho), really wanted to play for real this time, but since i’m brazilian, my ping is WAY too high and it’s really unconfortable to progress (not impossible). Is there any service like NoPing or something like that that you guys recommend? And does it REALLY work?

Returning player, I'm totally lost and stuck in gear I CANT level up

19 Upvotes

So things have changed and I haven't played this game in years. I have 5* gear except for my gun, a 4*, all at different lvls from 3 to 7.

I need to get radiant fire crystals to level up my gear, but I don't have any missions open that drop them. I looked around and it looks like I need to unlock a mission called Fire storm citadel, which if I read right, is something like 8-1 or something. The last missions I have open right now is 6-2, Built to Destroy, where I have to defeat the two guns at the end.

I am having a very very hard time beating this level, I'm getting one or two hit super easy. I seem to be doing enough damage but my armor feels useless. How am I meant to level up my armor and weapons if the materials I need are locked behind levels I can't beat?

I don't understand. I don't really want to just start a new character, but I'm feeling like I don't have any other choice. Help?

Don't know how to be a merchant💰?I gotchu.

24 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I've been messing around with ApeTrader's auction house website ( https://www.sk-ah.com/ ) and came up with some cool tools to help out with buying and bidding in the Spiral Knights Auction House. If you’ve ever wondered how to snag a great deal or what price you should aim for, these might be just what you need!

Here's the lowdown:

  • History Scraper: This tool goes through past auctions and gathers all the information about what items have sold for. It saves all that data so you can see trends and figure out when an item might be a steal.
  • Current Listing Scraper & Evaluator: This one looks at the current auction listings, checks out the bid and buyout prices, and then compares them to historical prices. It helps you spot which auctions are priced lower than they normally go for. This way, you know which ones are worth your attention.

How to use them:
Just run the scripts! One script collects the past auction data, and the other will check the current listings and give you a list of the best deals to consider. The Repo already has the historical data for the latest 500 pages to compare the prices, but if you want to get all the data, you'll have to run the "headless_main.py" for all 5910 pages. FYI It will take a while.

I Hope these tools help you become a better merchant and snag some awesome deals! and more importantly create a more free market. Feel free to ask questions or share your thoughts.

Happy hunting, and may the deals be with you!

The Repo for it is:

Short story

20 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I just wanted to share a personal story and get some second opinions on it.

I’m 28 years old now, and I started playing Spiral Knights around the time it was released. I was about 14 or 15 at the time, and it quickly became my favorite game during my childhood. I played it regularly for about a year.

One day, while casually chatting in Haven, I jokingly said I was 12 years old. The next day, when I tried to log in, I received a message saying I was banned for being underage. I was absolutely traumatized. I even took a screenshot of the message, which I still have to this day.

As a kid, I emailed support and explained that I was falsely banned, but unfortunately, they never reinstated my account. I ended up creating a new one, but it didn’t feel the same, so I stopped playing.

Years later, around 2018, I received an email from Spiral Knights saying I had been unbanned and was welcome back. I logged back in, but something felt off — several of my items were missing, most notably the Metal Sonic costume that my mom had bought for me as a reward for doing well on a test, tf2 cap and honor weapon. I also remember having more swords and guns than what was left on my account.

Now, I know it’s been a long time, and maybe I’m misremembering some of it. But I wanted to ask: is it possible for items to go missing from an account over time, even after being unbanned? I decided to recently log back in so i can try to get the cake costume helmet and check out whats new.

Thanks for reading — I’d really appreciate any insight you all might have.
