hatebringer Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 WOW!! Dragon Claws ~ Lucky Bum... I myself got a small lamp and 10k..... <_< [hide=D claws][/hide] So when someone wins a "lucky" prize it gets broadcasted to the server as well. So is it safe to assume when someone gets a good drop it will be broadcasted as well? or too soon to assume? But wow, bet that guy is feelin pretty good about that. I had a chance to win an ely :o I doubt the chance is high at all, but i wanna see people with screenshots of them getting epic prizes, stat! (I got less than 11k in 2 spins. >.>) 11k? still better than my 150. just 150 no k lol 11k seems to be more luck than most people on this topic 99 Fletching 99 Attack 99 Constitution 99 Cooking 99 StrengthGamertag: H8tebringer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerfrog Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Medium lamps seem to be 12.5 times skill level, by the way. EDIT: 125 times the skill level! Not 12.5! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nawty Zoot Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 It still looks like something that could be incredibly easily be abused by goldfarmers... >.> Jesus Jonananananananananas I didn't even think about goldfarmers and bots... Since gold farmers and bots don't necessarily "log in" to a normal screen, would this be a possible detection/delay mechanism? Oh, wicked, bad, naughty, evil Zoot!

AKwaspRS Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Interesting update, I'll reserve judgment on how I feel about it until we learn more about the odds of winning. However, I do hope that a lvl 3 bot would stand a significantly lower chance of winning good loot compared to a seasoned player with higher skills and quests completed.On that note, it would be interesting if Jagex added an investment feature into this wheel of fortune as a form of gamble. Perhaps increase the odds of winning enough such that more players hit the big jackpot and brag to their friends, but ultimately not so much that this could become steadily profitable. Similarly a weekly investment cap would be wise. Visit AKwaspRS http://www.youtube.com/user/AKwaspRS or Subscribe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tylon_Dragadon Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Notable items in my two spins:A Huge exp lampSwag Bag The swag bag description only suggested that it held "valuable loot" and seemed to imply a use in thieving.Both of those items were labeled as super lucky.

Drazhor Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Hi guys, I have noticed a few players posting that they are getting discontinued items on the Squeal of Fortune. I just want to squash any rumors. There are NO discontinued items on the Squeal of Fortune. Thanks, Just before anybody actually begins to listen to other Scapers Visit my blog!

Arceus Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 For example, if you get a lucky AGS, you didn't have to "work" get that AGS, and may even decide it's just as good as another godsword.

Powerfrog Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 You can't trade items over 100k? I saw a divine and an AGS... So if i got those on my pure, i couldn't sell them or pk with them (I'm assuming. If i CAN pk with them, and the enemy gets nothing, that's worse.) Seems like a really stupid system. If you don't want people to win huge prizes, don't give them huge prizes. And as the fray says, it won't stop the economy from suffering. If people start getting free divines they're going to sell their current one, or not buy one that they eventually would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashoke Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 There does seem to be a strategy behind where you hit stop and where it actually stops. 28-Feb-2012 17:19:21 Last edited on 28-Feb-2012 17:22:58 by Mod Jon H Hi uno dos tres: "Did anyone else observe that the button to stop the flashing light has a 10 second delay, therefore defeating its purpose... Or is that intentional, meaning you cannot have any effect on the reward you'll receive?" The outcome is totally randomised - the player's action (timing) does not affect the reward that comes out. The animation is not actually connected to the outcome, it's just fun to watch Yelp get punched in the face. -JH Quick find code: 15-16-697-63596239 No snowflake in an avalanche ever felt responsible.

Gandorf61 Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 I feel like this is entirely just a marketing gimmick to get more subscribers. I wouldn't be surprised if F2P have a higher chance of getting rare items so that they face the dilemma of subscribing multiple times a month.

From the looks of it however, anything over 5k in value is incredibly rare. the forums have only had a single picture of a 'lucky' drop, and that wasn't in first person either. You probably have as much chance of a rich friend quitting and giving you their items as you do getting one of the rare items.
