Have you ever wanted an axe because a sword just wouldn’t do? How about a Runed Hammer and a matching Buckler? Spiral HQ has released some new gear for you stouthearted knights to go berserk over.

The Raiders box contains items such as:

• Firestorm Skeggox (sword)
• Squall Caller (sword)
• Winter's Edge (sword)
• Raider Buckler (shield)
• Winter Raider Helm
• Squall Raider Helm
• Firestorm Raider Helm

Don't drop your Asgard! Stand ready to plunder items and gear that will help axecute your toughest foes. Remember, never walk away from Haven ahead of your axe and sword. You can't feel a battle in your bones or foresee a fight.

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

From now through June 4th, 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!

It’s time to pick up your cleaver and slice some cake. Help Biscotti, the Skylark's Head Chef, avoid disaster in two special missions - Total Caketastrophe and A Gremlin in Knead. Through April 16th, fight Creep Cakes and Batterbots to earn Cake Slice tokens, then visit Maskwell in Haven Town Square to exchange your tokens for:

- Cake helms

Black kats are once again storming the Moorcroft Manor Archives and consuming the precious tomes within! We need all knights of rank 4-1 and greater to gear up and retrieve Ancient Pages from these nefarious creatures. The event will run through March 24th.

Accept the Kataclysmic Confrontation prestige mission and/or fight through kat levels in the Clockworks to find black kats. Then, visit Montague in Moorcroft Manor, or the Mysterious Alchemy Machine in Haven, with your collection of Ancient Pages, to craft some Kat related gear.

If you dare to perform a Dark Ritual and survive the encounter, you may find yourself in possession of a Black Kat Cowl or a Wicked Whisker which allow you to craft the following gear:

• Kat Claw cloak, mail, raiment
• Kat Hiss cloak, mail, raiment
• Kat Eye cloak, mail, raiment
• Black Kat cloak, mail, raiment, hood, mask

If you have participated in a previous and still have Ancient Page tokens, they are still valid! Ancient Page tokens do not expire
