Rawr! Updates... Pretty much copy and paste by Nick

Candlestick Keep
A new Undead level series has appeared within the Clockworks- the Candlestick Keep. These haunted grounds are all that remains of the once prosperous Owlite Academy. Though now overtaken by spookats and other undead horrors, Knights will find Owlite ward candles scattered about the Keep that will save them from what lurks in the dark.

- Grimalkins are giant, shadowy spookats completely immune to damage. They lurk in the dark so stay in the light to avoid their attacks... they cannot be blocked with a shield!
- The light of any ward candle will protect you from grimalkins.
- Blue ward candles will always be lit.
- Orange ward candles must be lit with embers and will only stay lit for a short period of time.
- Some orange ward candles open doors when lit, listen for a chime!

New Danger Rooms
Deadly new danger rooms have been added to the Clockworks! Be warned, these new challenges are not for the faint of heart!

Revamped Crash Site
The Crash Site has been streamlined and tightened up significantly. New players will be able to join their fellow knights in the Rescue Camp in no time!
Items

- Crowns/Heat now have a 90 second lifespan

Bugfixes

- Recipe tooltips will show proper lock on acquire state for 4/5 star recipes
- Tooltips for goods in the cart will show proper lock on acquire state for token vendors
- Fixed issues where monsters of the wrong family or status type would spawn in some levels

Item info:

All six items are costume only items. They have no defensive stats or special properties and can only be equipped in the costume slot.

Items are delivered unbound and can be freely traded. However, like all equipment, Rose Regalia items bind on equip. If you plan on trading them, do not equip them!

Rose Regalia items never expire. Once equipped they are yours for as long as you wish.

Oh wow, new rose items and new levels... awesome!

Also, Spiral Knights items can be traded in Steam Beta ... so you can trade tf2 stuff for SK , which is cool too!
