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.

For more information, cast your eyes over here.

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.
