Neopets, the virtual world filled with diverse activities and games, offers a unique feature that many players might overlook – the Wheel of Mediocrity. Nestled in the prehistoric land of Tyrannia, this seemingly ordinary wheel has proven to be a hidden gem for Neopians seeking a consistent and rewarding experience. In this article, we explore the nuances of the Wheel of Mediocrity, its intriguing prizes, and the surprising profits it can yield. There are a lot of wheels out there and so many fabulous prizes to be won from those wheels. That being said, there has to be a “worst” wheel and the one in Tyrannia certainly takes the cake — the name says it all: the Wheel of Mediocrity. At least it’s cheap, right?

HISTORY OF THE WHEEL
The wheel was introduced in July 2010 alongside the site event Save the Wheels. It used to look like this…
The prizes were the same as they are now, apart from two that have been deactivated. In the old Battledome, abilities had levels of their own. Landing on the Aisha skull or the Earth Faerie when spinning the Wheel of Knowledge would raise and lower one of the old-style abilities by one, respectively. Apart from that, the Wheel you see today is the same old Wheel it has always been, but much nicer! Read below to see what you could win!
The Wheel of Mediocrity comes with a modest price tag of 100 Neopoints per spin and allows players to test their luck once every 40 minutes. However, a crucial restriction applies – spins are limited to the main account, discouraging multiple spins on side accounts. This limitation enhances the exclusivity of the wheel, making each spin more valuable.
BOON
If your faction wins the Battleground of the Obelisk, you have the opportunity to use the Right Round Right Round boon. Activating this would allow you to spin all of the wheels twice before needing to wait to spin again. You do have to pay a second time. To get your second spin, you need to refresh the page after your first spin.
PRIZES
The Wheel of Mediocrity features 16 different spaces, each offering a distinct outcome. From neopoint rewards to unexpected events, players can land on spaces providing 4,000 Neopoints, pet ability changes, and even a reduction in active pet levels. Despite the seemingly mediocre nature of the wheel, the surprises it holds can make every spin an exciting venture.
The wheel costs 100np and you can spin it every 40 minutes. While the prizes are the most exciting aspect of the wheels of Neopia. That being said, don’t get your hopes up too high for these (you get what you pay for!). The prizes are all random, so despite the lowly rewards, keep at it until you get the avatar!

CONCLUSION
The Wheel of Mediocrity may seem unassuming at first, but its consistent rewards, unexpected surprises, and the chance to earn the elusive “Mediocre” avatar make it a valuable asset for Neopians. With its 40-minute cooldown period and the potential for substantial neopoint gains, spinning this wheel proves to be more than just a mediocre experience – it’s a Neopian adventure worth taking.
