Hear ye! Hear Ye! Winterfest is upon Ye!

Impostoclaus’ favorite time of the year is here once again. Mount Krampus is abuzz with excitement as knights begin the task to Save Winterfest!!

As with previous years, the Grinchlins aim to ruin Winterfest for everyone, and they're making a pretty strong showing. No amount of coal or yellow snowballs has deterred them. Impostoclaus needs assistance in the Save Winterfest prestige mission! Help out and earn red, green, and white Winter Wish tokens. Trade your tokens with Randolph in Haven.

Winterfest Danger Rooms in the Clockworks: From these random encounters, you can collect Frozen Winterfest Wishlist tokens. Impostoclaus' trusty assistant, Randolph, is stationed by the Haven fountain and will trade these tokens for Winterfest Prize Boxes.

Grinchlin Assault Prestige Mission

Invade the Grinchlin base of operations on Mount Krampus and put an end to their humbug! Face a choice at each shelter - collect loot and leave the mountain, or leave the treasure and climb further toward the summit!

The Mysterious Alchemy Machine is also available and producing various festive themed weapons for your all of your holiday needs. Although some sound tasty, it is for external application only and we do not recommend licking them. Collect special materials from Mount Krampus to craft 5* Grinchlin reskinned weapons.

Decoration Kit Prize Boxes

Get into the spirit of Winterfest by decorating your guild hall! These boxes, provisioned by the Supply Depot, has festive furniture for your guild to enjoy.

Winterfest is here on Spiral Knights through January 4, 2021, so tell your friends and guildies to come on over!

Knights, is "I'll sleep when I'm dead" your motto? It shouldn't be. Quality rest is important for those who brave danger on a daily basis. It restores, rejuvenates, and revives exhausted bodies and minds.

We at Spiral HQ are concerned about a spike in the number of knights who push themselves to the limit with lack of sleep, and Medical has noted a similar uptick in knights who want to sleep, but can't. We suspect this is at least partly due to the fact that we’re nearing the end of 2020. While that problem can’t be addressed here, sometimes a knight just needs a comfortable break from routine. For interested knights, we are making available the Slumber Prize Box, which contains a variety of items to assist you in your quest for repose:

- Sleepy Night Cap

- Lucid Night Cap

- Dreamer Night Cap

- Wooly Onesie

- Sweet Dreams (your weapon against nightmares)

- Teddy Bear Buckler (shield)

- Slumber accessories

- Slumber armors and helms

If you still can't sleep, feel free to roar through the Clockworks in your jammies or perhaps host a slumber party. It'll at least confuse the monsters.

This box will be available through January 6, 2021!

Our plump little friends, the Gobble Snipes, are on their yearly migration to...we're not really sure where. Hmm. To protect them in transit we Spiral HQ has enclosed them in Gobble Snipe Boxes Boxes. Rest assured I’ve been told there are air holes this time.

Should you wish to host one of these fluffy creatures in your Guild Hall, these boxes can be had through November 30, 2020.

We have confirmed that the Apocrean Harvester has returned once again. Spiral HQ needs your help!

From now through December 2nd, travel onto the Grasping Plateau full of trapped souls and phantom-like monsters. In a maze-like graveyard, knights will find the Apocrea trapping and collecting souls. This sinister being will pursue any who enter the Grasping Plateau hoping to add to the collection. Work together to free souls and find Apocrean Sigil tokens which can be used at the Obelisk of Creation to craft Obsidian weapons and the Grasping Aura.

You don't want to get caught out there alone--definitely bring your friends with you on this mission, and try not to lose sight of them!

Knights,

The Dark Harvest Festival makes its return! It’s no trick, the Punkin King and his gourdlings are causing sweet, sweet chaos in the Clockworks!

Find the Punkin King in the daily prestige mission, The Dark Harvest. However, don't let your guard down, because he could also show up elsewhere when you least expect it! Collect candy tokens, then trade with Maskwell in Haven Town Square for:

• Frankenzom masks
• Spookat masks
• Phantom masks
• Scarab masks
• Harvest Prize Boxes

Should you find yourself in possession of any interesting crafting material as a result of a Punkin King encounter, visit the Mysterious Alchemy Machine.

The Dark Harvest Prize Box contains costumes and accessories within the Dark Harvest theme. Trade in your tokens to discover the offerings. This year, the festival runs through November 2, 2020. Your candy tokens and Maskwell will stick around through November 5, 2020.
