Farm the event mission while it is active
The Dark Harvest prestige mission features Punkin King, who drops candy tokens for Maskwell’s seasonal exchange. The mission ends before the token exchange does, so use the remaining window to spend tokens.

Know what to farm.
And where to go.
Spiral Knights farming combines the daily mission rotation, event-token exchanges, and Clockworks exploration. During Dark Harvest, The Dark Harvest mission and Punkin King provide candy for Maskwell’s seasonal shop. Outside events, rank and prestige missions guide access to tiered Clockworks depths, where monsters and treasure boxes supply crafting materials.

What matters before you farm
Unlock requirements, costs and tips to help you get started.
Use rank missions to open deeper Clockworks
Rank missions advance access to later Clockworks tiers. Check your rank and certification progress before choosing a deeper gate, where equipment is scaled to the tier.

Choose the low crystal forge option for leveling
The May 2026 forge update guarantees a level-up at the minimum crystal option. Higher crystal options are for bonus chances, so they are unnecessary when your goal is basic leveling.
