Please tell us how you do it then. Because this game just kind of drops you at it's equivalent to Orgrimar and let's you figure out everything from there.
I'm hearing you can refill your base energy bar for something like 2k crowns, which is incredibly cheap and reasonable at the moment for a starter player. Being able to buy energy that way and build up materials seems a lot more fun then sitting around waiting until I've crafted my gun.

I think its closer to 3.5k now. But yeah it's still doable.
|
It's too laggy for me, I can't time my attacks or dodges in combat.. Damn.

100 energy costs 3.3k
100 energy will make you 10k-25k
You are able to play the game for as long as you want without paying a cent. Paying money only gives you a small boost.

how does 100 energy make 10k-25k?
lol
|
I've been making 10k+ per 100 energy soloing. I suppose doing 4 man in tier 1 may net you a bit less than that.

are you counting the loot that drops? who seriously wants to go through the hassle of standing in town trying to sell mats lol

Well game seems pretty fun 
got a couple of questions: with the recipies, is there any point in me getting them if someone else in the guild has them ? For ex i'm told i wanna rush t2 items asap but i can ask guildies to craft them for me?
also secondly, what are arenas? can someone explain this to me?
Last: which dungeons should i be running, so many to choose from, which one do i chooooose? (the front dungeon or the back dungeon?) I guess the gen idea is just run the whole thing solo right?

One of the keys to maximizing your crown return on spent energy is to make sure you run the late floors on a given tier. For example, on tier 1, make sure you finish floors 5-7 and on tier 2 finish floors 14-17. The crown return is 3-4x higher per floor on the later floors of a given tier. If you can solo the entire tier, then that's fine. If you need help you're much better off in a group so you're sure to finish the tier.
The later tier 2 floors (14-17) give about 1200 crown each for 10 energy. That's not counting crafting material drops, which are difficult to turn into cash quickly. It's pretty easy to make back your 3.5k per 100 energy if you consistently make it to floor 18. New players will feel an energy crunch in the first few hours of play because they're not maximizing their returns due to deaths, returning to Haven early due to soloing attempts, wasting energy on danger rooms they can't complete, and other inefficiencies.

Last night, I crafted 2 Heater shields (5star). They are when vendored to merchant 30k crowns. If anyone wants to get one, I can sell it for that 30k price. No unique variants and here is link for the shield: http://wiki.spiralknights.com/Heater_Shield
Edit, 1 sold, 2nd shield still pending. Also I can craft those for anyone(they don't require equipment with to do)

about the crafting, you can have people craft for you T5 if you wish. However, the problem when you get to T3+ is there is a level requirement for the weapon.
Ex: need a level 5 strikerT3 to make a level 1 vilestrikerT4 and a level 10 vile striker to make a level 1 dread fangT5. All item leveling is done through running dungeons and gaining heat.
Problem is once you have leveled an item it is bound to you, so you can't trade your level 5 cutter to some one to make a vile striker.

Hey wanna ask some advice
atm im using magic cloak, calibur and plate shield
any advice on which helmet i should be going for? I guess im going to be locked for the other three all the way up to t5 right?
Also is there any difference between the dungeons that i run?
Lastly, is it possible to logout mid dungeon or anything and continue later?

Look at the hats on the wiki: http://wiki.spiralknights.com/Helmet
Choose a 5 star one you like and then build the 2 star piece of it
Each dungeon is comprised of a set of predetermined leveled. The lion gate has the jelly king in it. Most the dungeons wont be much difference, except for the jelly king one
There's no saving mid dungeon, but you can join any party at any time if there is room.

I would like one!
I don't got 30k atm, so would you like me to farm up, or can I give you some mats as well?

When fighting turrets, be sure to position yourself so that they shoot away from teammates.

Was a fun game, took me about 4 days played to beat it. I had every top item and about 500k crowns from playing the energy market. I'll be back when they add new content. :D

Ye, Shields are sold allready, but I can craft if anyone needs. You can see the materials in the link I posted.
