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!

Can you make it all the way to the summit? If so, you have a chance to win Golden or Silver Solstice Rings. These 4* trinkets protect against fire and freeze with a +1 health bonus. Leave them as-is, or combine them to craft a 5* Grand Solstice Ring trinket!

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:

• Nog Blaster
• Jack Froster
• Scalding Hot Cocoa
• Humbug Hazer
• Peppermint Repeater

Winterfest is here on Spiral Knights through January 3, 2024, so tell your friends and guildies to come on over!

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 found int the Supply Depot.

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

From now through November 29th, 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.

The leaves have turned and a cold chill is in the air. The citizens of Haven are bringing in the last of the harvest before it freezes. The right tools and gear are essential for collecting the sweet remains of this year's bounty.

This rakishly handsome gear includes such items like Scythes, Late Harvest Leaf Crowns, Late Harvest Leaf Chains, and other accessories.

The Late Harvest Prize Boxes contains items such as:

• Untimely Scythe
• Shadow Scythe
• Late Harvest Leaf Crowns & Chains
• Late Harvest Hibiscus Crowns & Chains
• Late Harvest Frasera Crowns & Chains
• Late Harvest Daisy Crowns & Chains
• Late Harvest Armor and Helms
• Various new accessories

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.
