A Kataclysmic Confrontation is Back!

Gobble Snipes Waddle Their Way Back!
Greetings!
We here at Spiral HQ want to wish you a happy Gobble Day. In celebration, our plump little friends, the Gobble Snipes, have started their annual 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 December 1, 2017. Check out the details here!
Return Of The Apocrean Harvester!
Head’s up knights!
We have confirmed that the Apocrean Harvester has emerged for it's semiannual attempt to collect souls. Spiral HQ needs your help!
From now through November 30th, 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! For a detailed brief on Cradle's previous encounters with this nefarious entity, go here.
Shades of Grey and the Style Kit Update
Greetings Knights!
In an effort to make it easier to give your knight the best look, the gremlins at Spiral HQ have created a Style Kit. Now you can easily swap between appearance modifiers (personal colors, eyes, and height) once you have added them to your Kit.
With fall here and knights using their Style Kits, Haven is bursting with color. But once a knight descends into the Clockworks their decisions aren't black and white, they're somewhere in the Grey. With this in mind, Spiral HQ has put together a box for knights with singular tastes.
Dig into a Grey Prize Box and find a grey costumes, accessories, a grey footstep aura, or sprite pods. Lucky knights might find a Silver Personal Color that they can add to their Style Kit. This silver color change will not be added to Vatel’s inventory in Haven.
The Grey Prize Box contains items such as:
More information on the Grey Prize Box and its contents may be found here.
Statue Sale:
With the above release it is now possible to make a statue of your knight that actually looks like a statue! With that in mind we're reducing the price of statues through this month. If the statue you want is not on sale, please check back later. You'll know it's on sale by the "sale" tag on the icon before you purchase it.
Dark Harvest Festival Is Back!
The Dark Harvest Festival is Back! It’s no trick, the Punkin King and his gourdlings are causing sweet, sweet chaos in the Clockworks!

Should you find yourself in possession of any interesting crafting material as a result of a Punkin King encounter, visit the Mysterious Alchemy Machine.
More about the Dark Harvest Festival can be found here. The Dark Harvest Prize Box 2017 has been reworked to include new accessories within the Dark Harvest theme. Trade in your tokens to discover some of the new offerings. This year, the festival runs through November 1, 2017. Your candy tokens and Maskwell will stick around through November 5, 2017.
Additional Patch Notes:
- New Dark Harvest 2017 prize box replaces the old Dark Harvest box and swaps in a number of new/different accessories and removes many of the old ones. This way people who have participated in past Dark Harvest Festivals can earn new items.

Small Patch for Weapon Damage
Below are the changes for the current update:
- Adjusted shard bombs so that each bomb blast does separate damage along with up to 3 shard hits. Earlier explosions will not limit the shard damage of later ones.
- Tortofist gun damage has been adjusted. The shards that land will do damage over time but can only damage each monster 3 times.
