| - Squeal of Fortune is every adventurer’s chance to win big! Every day you sign in to RuneScape, Yelps the goblin will invite you to try your luck on the Squeal of Fortune for a chance to win a huge prize. Whether you’re a seasoned RuneScape veteran or are still discovering Lumbridge, everyone’s a winner in this game of luck! Prizes vary from essential edibles to epic exclusives. That’s right, you simply can’t lose! Yelps is a magnanimous goblin blessed with a streak of benevolence and a very punchable face. Every day, you’ll have chance to have a go at both of Yelps’s most noteworthy features, as he’s the ‘host’ of Squeal of Fortune. Who doesn’t enjoy a little windfall from time to time? Everyone should feel the rush of winning and Squeal of Fortune delivers a win with every spin! From RuneScape’s finest vegetables to a host of once-in-a-lifetime items, Yelp has acquired a bottomless stash of awesome stuff just waiting to be shared with you. For every spin, Yelp looks at his stash of prizes and chooses 13 (lucky for some!) items to be placed onto the Squeal of Fortune. Then don your lucky underwear, cross your fingers and let luck take control as you hit the ‘STOP’ button and your prize is revealed. If you’re a member then don’t uncross your fingers just yet; you’ve got a second win to spin. Yes, members get double the number of spins per day! Yelps’s generosity knows no bounds! You might be lucky enough to take home the greenest and purest of organic cabbages, a much sought after tailor-made godsword, or maybe something even more desirable still! That's right, the stats are exactly the same. That lucky godsword hits just as hard as a normal one! Yes, we did consider it but decided not to. If we created lucky versions of currently degradable items, they would indeed degrade. RuneScape members get two spins every day! If you’re free to play, you can still win big by spinning the Squeal of Fortune once per day. The wheel gets its daily spins added at 0:00 GMT. Absolutely! Free players also have the chance to win the prize of their dreams by spinning the wheel once every day. Players currently at the very beginning of the game OR in tutorial mode will not get access to the wheel. We may well adjust that in the future. It’s random, so you sure can. Luck can work in mysterious ways! Rest assured that you'll never lose out on a prize because you clicked at the wrong time or you experienced lag. The best way to maximise your chance to win is to use your available spins every day, so lady luck has as many chances as possible to shower you with favour. Not at all – just log out and back in again, and Yelps’ll be right where you left him. There are just too many to list them all here, but don’t worry; we’ll be giving regular updates on who’s won what and what new items are being added to Yelps’s wheel. Stay tuned! We have no plans for the high value items to be tradable. Way ahead of you! Rare/lucky wins on the Squeal of Fortune are displayed in your Adventurer’s Log already. The wheel has plenty of cool rewards already! Currently the Squeal of fortune has a wide variety of rewards suitable for a range of different sorts of players. We are likely to add other rewards in the future! Possibly in the future, but currently the only cosmetic items are the new Squeal-specific items, such as the swagger stick and the horns. Not likely, certainly not in the long term. First off, the chance of obtaining one of these items from Squeal of Fortune is low. What’s more, the ‘lucky’ versions work slightly differently, in that they’re non-tradable and are destroyed if lost in the Wilderness. There may well be some price decreases in the short term, but in the long term there really won’t be enough of these items coming into the game to make a significant change to their non-lucky versions. What happens if I die with the non-tradable items from the Squeal of Fortune? The non tradable items are “Destroyed on Drop” and you can choose to keep them in the “Items Kept on Death” interface. They will not be in your gravestone upon your return. No, the PKer won’t receive anything based upon the fact that you’re carrying a lucky item. The ‘lucky’ items do have a different look to the standard versions, though, and remember that it works both ways – you’re taking a big risk by bringing an item into the wilderness that will be destroyed if you die. That’s not a bad idea - we are exploring many ideas and ways of giving more spins. We have all sorts of feedback from the forums and we will consider it all!
