Sylpheed Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 As Mad May draws to a close, we bid a fond farewell to spring by adding two exciting new costumes to the Squeal of Fortune. Not only do they look great, but they also represent something of a first for cosmetic items... Starting with our content update today, on Tuesday 29th May, and running throughout the summer months, two impressive new clothing sets will be obtainable as unique prizes on the Squeal of Fortune. There are five pieces of clothing for each of the two must-have sets, so youll need to be feeling lucky in order to bag all ten. Dont forget, the more spins you have at your disposal, the better your chances are of snagging all the items and getting all of them is certainly something youll want to do! Taking a space on the uncommon slots, the first outfit is the Queens Guard uniform: perfect attire for kick-starting a summer of regal rejoicing. The full set encompasses a Queens Guard hat, shirt, trousers, shoes and staff. Its everything a stalwart defender of royalty might need to perform their duties admirably. Resting on selected rare slots, the second outfit is altogether more exotic and mysterious a set of Dragon Ceremonial clothes. Made in honour of the Queen Black Dragon, this elusive set consists of a Dragon Ceremonial Hat, Breastplate, Greaves, Boots and Cape. Were sure youll agree, they look as formidable as they do beautiful! And, as if that wasnt cool enough, when you complete a costume, not only will you look awesome, but youll also be given the option to re-colour the outfits once equipped! Re-colouring is a first for cosmetic items of this nature, and its a big reason we think that these outfits will be so desirable. As there are 10 cosmetic items in total up for grabs, were also pleased to announce that youll no longer need to worry about winning the same unique cosmetic item more than once. If youre fortunate enough to snag one of these items, it will always be one you dont have yet. One last thing! Dont forget that RuneScape members get 3 spins on the Squeal of Fortune instead of 2 for every day they log-in during Mad May. Since May isnt over yet, you can maximise your chances of bagging the goodies above by making sure youre still subscribed. Subscribe now and claim those extra spins!

muggiwhplar Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 These kinds of things make me feel really bad for the people who go nuts if they can't obtain every single limited-availability cosmetic item Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alg Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 It's good that you have all summer to somehow win 5 rare drops... It's not like the set will take up 1-4 bank spaces and probably look silly without the full set if you don't. <_< I painted some stuff and put it on tumblr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peronix Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Don't forget to buy some spins so you'll have a chance in hell of getting these items before they're gone! Seriously I can't think of a worse cash grab. Jagex is sinking even lower than my opinion of EA at the moment. That's a real [bleep]ing trick, too.

This way of using the wheel for obtaining these items is just disgusting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheefoo Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 I'm sure they'll be back some time after the "summer months" availability period. Remember the katana, turkey hat, green skin etc.? They reused those for other promotions involving membership cards and whatnot. Same will happen with the monkey themed items, I presume. They just can't resist reusing these cash-grab promo items.

Frozen Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 This may be some indication that people aren't buying spins as much as Jag would like (durr?) and expect spin buys to ramp up while people enter the "MUST-HAVE" delirium.

Kaida23 Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 It's been released for all of what, 6 hours, and you already have all 10 pieces??? :blink: I guess they're not quite so rare, eh?

I might of bought 650 spins today, but I have 150ish left and had a truck load of double spins, like 60-70 spins per 50 bought spins.Also got me from just over 90 prayer to like half way to 93 so far (including varrock elite completion lamps) @Above I kinda like em, the royal guard stuff works best on blue/purple so the hat matches better and the dragon one looks equally good on any colour thanks to black.

How much did that cost you? Saw some guy on the rsof say he bought 450 spins and it took 350 to get the full set of dragon ceremonial Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
