lovedwallflower Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Have you spun it yet? Did you do it for the avatar? How much did you spend? I'm flirting with the idea of making this a new daily and I just wondered what your experiences of this wheel are :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azurablue Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Well.... I got very lucky. I only did it once and only because I was celebrating the sale of a pirate Draik egg that I had gotten on the Forgotten Shore. I thought, OK.... just once. So, I paid the price, spun the wheel..... and got the avatar on the first try, I decided to quit while I was ahead. If you do decide to go for it, I wish you the kind of luck that I had. :thumbsup: Bright ^_^ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamppost Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 I wish I had that luck, too! I didn't count how many tries it took me to get the avatar but it was definitely more than 1. I found that most of the time I lost NP on it, though, so I stopped spinning after I got the avatar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelperk Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 I had a good feeling after reading these messages and went to spin, got a message that said sorry, an error has occurred...so I checked my pet, no changes. I checked my inventory...no prizes...but I checked my user lookup and found a new avatar! HUZZAH! leverhelven, Wildbreeze and decchild 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breaziecat Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 I've spun it a few times, but I always lost NP on it :/ Unless you're trying for the avatar, I don't think you should spin it. But I don't have 100,000 to waste, either. asterisk_trine 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got the same error message, but no avvie, no item, no pet changes, no nothing... :sad01_anim: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siniri Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 You might want to read the responses in this topic, where people discuss whether the wheel is profitable. I would only recommend making it a daily if you were spending less than 1% of your total NP on the wheel, because the results are so variable; I personally won't be testing it until it's less than 0.1% of my income (if my income ever gets that high...). If you were spinning daily and it started as 10% of your income, a 10-day string of bad luck would completely wipe you out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randiriel Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Maybe it's just my bad luck, but I never get anything good from the wheel... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asterisk_trine Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 I've spun that thing three times. The first two times I got NOTHING. The third time I got half my NP back. I haven't spun it in a while because of that, but I do still want to from time to time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fullonparanoid Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 I spun A LOT before I got the avatar. Millions of nps (though, I did win some back with good spins). I was luck to get the avatar before the great Nerkmid deflation so my total output was far less than many. I say spin it IF you want the avatar...but be prepared to spin many times. If you are not seeking the avatar, I am not convinced that it is a profitable venture (at least not reliably so) Good luck! :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iheartsaku Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Good luck! I am terrified to try it haha I am fairly unlucky when it comes to chance (I still haven't gotten the Wheel of Knowledge avatar....and once I even landed on it and then it glitched and I didn't get the avatar :( ). I am a avatar collector so I really want to try but I have a feeling I'll just be depressed by the results so I haven't gotten around to trying just yet haha.If you do start trying, I really do wish you the best of luck and hope you get the avatar and some good items or whatever else you may desire! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh wow, congratulations!! :D Overall I don't think this wheel is profitable either, but it would be a fun (and expensive!) experiment to see how long it takes to get the avatar. I'm just not sure I'm willing to sacrifice half my savings just yet :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueberrykiwi141 Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 The first time I tried it I got my NPs back, so I tried it for a second time and lost the NPs. I have not gone back since. I want the avvie, but the wasting of NPs it the part that stinks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meliss Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 I spun it a few times for the avatar but so far I have no luck. No going to try again for a little while until I feel like I can waste the NP for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildbreeze Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 I spun it for the avatar and got really lucky--I got the avatar on my third spin. I think the first spin I got my NP back, the second I got 25k or something... So I definitely lost NP, but the avatar was worth it for me.

chelperk Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 Isn't it silly that I have the High Roller avie but not the one from the Wheel of Excitement? I've spun it sooooooooo many times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
decchild Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 I spin the wheel once a week if I have the NPs for it, and I think I've lost nearly a million on it. I've gotten some cool stuff, but alas, the avvie remains so elusive to me. I don't have good luck in general, so the only wheel avvie I have is the Mediocrity one. :thumbsdown: (It took me MONTHS to get the keno avvie and I had to spend an hour on the quick pick one to get a truly random set of numbers.)

coryldork Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 I've spun it a few times, but I don't really remember what I got. I spun it yesterday on a whim and got 50K. I'm unsure if I wanna make it a daily... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spritzie Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Other than a couple random times, just for fun (where I got nothing), it took me 12 days in a row to get the avatar, which is when I stopped. Of the 1.2 million spent on that, I don't remember what I got with each spin, but I know I lost about 800-900k of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomeander Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 I've spun the wheel about 8 times. I was so close to getting the avatar yesterday but I landed on the 50k space. Best prize I got was a job coupon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
