Just in case someone wants to launch Spiral Knights through Steam:
Click Add Non-Steam Game
Navigate to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin\"
Add "javaw.exe"
It should come up as Spiral Knights in your Steam Library
Right-click Spiral Knights & click Properties
Change Target: to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin\javaw.exe" -jar getdown-pro.jar
Change Start In: to C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\LocalLow\spiral
*This was done on Windows 7
If you have trouble, put the Spiral Knight's launcher shortcut on your desktop.
Right-Click the shortcut, & go to the Shortcut tab
Look at the Target: box to find the location of your javaw.exe
Once that is added to Steam, Copy & Paste your Start In: bar into Spiral Knight's Properties on Steam.
Wah-Lah! Launch and enjoy Steam's overlay! I haven't had a problem with it yet.

Name is Dakula. I'm about to go on right now.
I won two powerful guns during the last preview weekend. It was cool to win that raffle, as I don't have good luck with those kinds of things!
I had a lot of fun playing before, but it was getting a little repetitive, especially playing with randoms. Joining a GAF guild might just hit the spot.

hehehe I came in expecting something totally different. I downloaded the game and just finished the practice thing. My name is Adnan937
Having fun with the game so far, but in the early zones I really see no reason to party with other people. You end up losing out on lots of drops that other players snatch up, and the early levels are not especially difficult. Is the loot system really just a mad dash free-for-all, or am I missing something? It sucks watching that coveted monster drop go to another player time and time again. I know it's a multiplayer game and everything, and it's fun to play with a full party, but sometimes I'll come out of a 4-player 3 floor run with barely anything to show for it, which kinda sucks, considering all progress in the game is tied to equipment (which you need the materials for).
Also, does anyone know where to find more recipes to buy? Are they all from that merchant on the 4th floor and his limited selection? The vendor in town only sells a few kinds but there are far more types of armor than that. I even got to the 8th floor rest-zone, but there was no vendor there, only a gate telling me to come back with better equipment. I'm eyeing a mage hood recipe, but no one seems to be selling it!
EDIT: Oh, and my player name is Dreavus if someone wants to send me a guild invite!

If you want a guild invite, send a friend request to Varindo.

The recipes the merchant on the 4th (and 13th, and...whatever'th) floor sells are random. But that's how you get the better recipes, just keep checking him every dungeon run.
" Is the loot system really just a mad dash free-for-all, or am I missing something?"
Loot drops are awarded randomly. It makes no difference who picks them up, the game will decide who gets it in the party afterwards.

Loving the game so far, it's light hearted, simple and good fun, been playing some solo and with my cousin runs so far.
I decided to buy 1600 energy since the game is worthy enough for my cash interesting that in game that amount is $5.94 but paypal says $4.95 (£3 in my money) so that is killer price, most mmo's ask for much more.

My tag is Gevurah. I'll definitely hit up the neoGAF guild later on tonight. :3
Man I already have 34 hours played. Sooooooo addictive.
I have a bunch of recipes that I can craft for you guys if you bring me mats or I can use my mats and you can pay for the crafting cost (which is the real killer).
Fair warning though, I can't upgrade stuff that's bound to you. A bit of an oversight on Three Ring's part. So if I make a Troika for you, I won't be able to turn it into a Kamarin later on. But it's an easy way to get to 2* (without going cobalt) so you guys can finally join Tre and I on our Basil runs.
Recipe List:
Kamarin
Spur
Striker
Troika
Freezing Vaporizer
Freezing Vaporizer Mk II
Haze Bomb
Ash Tail Cap
Dusker Cap
Spiral Demo Helm
Wolver Cap
Ash Tail Coat
Dusker Coat
Spiral Demo Suit
Wolver Coat
Horned Owlite Shield
Owlite Shield
Swiftstrike Buckler
IGN: Haly

energy prices are spiking today, pretty brutal.
Finally got into tier 2 action, still having a blast. I understand why the good patterns are sold by merchants halfway through dungeon runs, but man can it be a pain. I totally dropped what 6500 crowns or something on 2 patterns that I have since decided I absolutely want nothing to do with, but I had to make a decision fast since my whole party was waiting on the elevator.
And of course, I immediately learned them out of reflex so now I can't resell them.
The music in this game is so calming.

For real! I was in the mood for a long play session today (just forced myself to quit, lol), and dropped the 5 bucks for 1600 energy. I crafted a bunch of stuff, and ran a bunch of dungeons for the next few hours. Still have over 1200 left
I was thinking it'd be gone quick.Sweet. I'm in the guild. What can you do in the guildhalls though?
The wiki says it can have two vendors, Boost and a special Guild Outfitter, but I don't see any in there.
Will be selling my energy today to focus on some school stuffs and make the most of not playing.

Did a run today to the end of tier 2 and got absolutely crushed silly by the Royal Jelly. What a crazy last couple of levels that was. It seems obvious that 2* gear is not going to cut it on that fight
Really impressed with how crazy and intense the fighting and floor layouts were getting towards the end of tier 2 though. Hopefully the energy costs won't spike too sharply.

oh yeah, anyone know what a good 3 star upgradeable to 4 star gun would be? Like, one that does almost sword comparable dps? I'm using a 2 star shadow pistol which fires 2 extremely weak shots every reload, only use it when I'm super duper not trying to get tangled up with a monster.

I don't think you'll find many guns that do comparable damage to a sword until you get to the 4* and up guns. I think the Magnus line does the most damage.
"If I get you the mats and craft costs, can you build me a magic set? I just need to find 4 Frayed Fabrics and I'm good for mats."
Yes.

How much for the magic cloak recipe?Nabs said:
I've essentially figured out what I want to go for in the long term:
Armor: http://wiki.spiralknights.com/Divine_Mantle
Gun: http://wiki.spiralknights.com/Valiance
I'm a bit iffy on the sword and helmet though. Winmillion and Crown of the Fallen look useful but I'm not a fan of the crown's vulnerability to curse.
Or the Skover Cap Leaning a bit towards this cause of all the bonuses. And the Aegis shield looks sick too. I'm getting carried away fawning over loot again D:

Nabs: How do you think you'd want to do a Miracle Cloak trade? I've got the mats and energy and I can craft a non-bound elemental cloak, so the only hang up is getting it leveled up.
Updated my recipe list with Miracle Hood and Faust.

I really love the fact there's no character levels in this game. No, "You must be level 31 to do this dungeon!" messages.
Well, until you get to the 8th floor and you need all your equipment to be 2 stars tier... But crafting is a major part of this game so it's understandable
This game really needs an auction house or something of the sort really bad.
