Out in the Deserted Fairground is Neopia’s spookiest, most terrifying wheel: the Wheel of Misfortune. As this wheel does not offer an avatar and has more unfortunate prizes than good prizes, it might be best to steer clear of the creepy old thing. Still, if you’re a gambler or you simply love games, give it a whirl! But don’t say we didn’t warn you.

Wheel of Misfortune 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.

Wheel of Misfortune Prizes

Interestingly, this wheel has far fewer prizes than the other wheels in Neopia. That means there is more of a chance of landing on something misfortunate than not, so watch out!

1. You active pet gets a random disease.
2. You win a random gift.
3. You win a random spooky petpet.
4. You lose a random amount of neopoints.
   NOTE: You can end up with negative neopoints.
5. One item in your inventory becomes a Pile of Sludge.
   NOTE: This is currently glitched and you will not have an item replaced by a Pile of Sludge.
6. Your active pet will “forget” a book that they have read, meaning you will need to re-read the book to them if you want it to count towards its books read.
7. You win anywhere between 2 and 4,000np.
8. The Pant Devil steals an item from your inventory.

Random Prizes from the Misfortune Wheel

If you land on the present (#2 above), the following are one of the random prizes you could receive:

Apple Lantern Chair	Apple Lantern Table	Eyeball Muffin	Gummy Rat Stew
Headless Von Roo Plushie	Jubusul Plushie	Koibat Plushie	Kougrachio Plushie
Monster Cake	Quigquig Plushie	Scorcie Plushie	Sloth Faerie Plushie
Space Blumfaerie Plushie	Tall Apple Lantern Lamp	Usulbat Plushie	Von Kougra Plushie

Is the Wheel of Misfortune Worth It?

The Wheel of Misfortune, located in the eerie Deserted Fairgrounds, offers players a spin of fate for 150 Neopoints. While its creepy allure is undeniable, many players debate whether the rewards are worth the risks. Here’s a breakdown of what you might encounter:

Possible Outcomes:

• Contract a Disease: Your active Neopet has a chance (~8%) of falling ill, requiring treatment.
• Receive a Random Item: There’s a ~30% chance to get Haunted Woods-themed plushies, food, or furniture—though these are often low in value.
• Win a Spooky Petpet: A rare reward with less than a 0.5% chance, making it a long shot for collectors.
• Lose Neopoints: A ~20% chance to lose Neopoints, ranging from small amounts to as much as 10,000.
• Item Transformed into Sludge: ~10% chance an item in your inventory becomes a Pile of Sludge.
• Pet Forgets a Book: Your active Neopet may forget a book it read (~2% chance), requiring you to re-read it to restore the record.
• Win Neopoints: Another ~20% chance to win Neopoints, with the higher amounts being extremely rare.
• Pant Devil Steals an Item: A ~10% chance that the Pant Devil will swipe an item from your inventory.

Additionally, spinning the wheel offers a chance to unlock the “Wheel of Misfortune” avatar, though the game doesn’t notify you when you’ve earned it.

Verdict: Is It Worth Spinning?
For most players, the Wheel of Misfortune is a risky gamble. The likelihood of harmful outcomes like diseases, item losses, or Neopoint deductions outweighs the modest rewards, such as low-value items or small Neopoint wins.

However, if you’re chasing the elusive avatar or enjoy the thrill of chance, the Wheel can add an element of suspense to your gameplay. Just be prepared for the potential downsides!

Ultimately, the Wheel of Misfortune is better suited for adventurous players who appreciate its spooky charm rather than those focused on maximizing Neopoint gains.

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 of Mediocrity

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.

Mediocrity Wheel 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.

Mediocrity Wheel 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!

1. You win 1,000np.
2. A Grarrl roars but nothing happens.
3. You win 4,000np and an avatar.

Is the Neopets Wheel of Knowledge Worth It?

The Wheel of Knowledge, located in Brightvale, offers players a chance to spin daily for a variety of rewards, including Neopoints, items, and even boosts to your Neopet’s intelligence. Each spin costs 400 Neopoints, and you can spin once every 24 hours.

However, many players question whether the daily investment is truly worth it. While the wheel does offer a selection of prizes, many of the rewards are items with minimal value, such as stained glass windows or scrolls. The higher-value rewards, such as Neopoints or intelligence boosts, are rare, and the chance of landing on these desirable outcomes is relatively low.

Given the consistent 400 Neopoint cost per day, the Wheel of Knowledge may not be the most profitable option for players looking to maximize their Neopoint earnings. While it can provide some entertainment and occasional valuable rewards, it’s important to manage expectations when it comes to the returns. If you’re looking for a reliable source of income or rare items, there may be more efficient ways to use your Neopoints.

Ultimately, the Wheel of Knowledge can be a fun daily activity, but whether it’s worth it depends on your personal goals and resources in the game. If you’re more interested in the thrill of a daily spin rather than consistent profit, it might be a good choice. Otherwise, you may want to consider other Neopets activities that provide more predictable rewards.

NOTES

• Since you can win items and neopoints from this wheel, you cannot spin the Wheel of Knowledge on side accounts. To learn more about what you can and cannot do on side accounts, check out our Side Accounts Guide.
• You can mute the wheel by clicking the speaker at the bottom right-hand corner of the game screen.

Wheel of Extravagance Worth it?

Whether the Wheel of Extravagance is worth it in Neopets is a controversial feature. It’s undeniably a significant Neopoint (NP) sink, and the 100,000 NP per spin can feel steep for most players. While it offers the allure of valuable prizes like paintbrushes, nerkmids, job coupons, and stat boosts, many players find the return on investment to be lackluster. The odds are heavily skewed, and the most common result is walking away with nothing or only a fraction of your initial investment. If you’re spinning purely for profit, you’re likely to be disappointed, as most spins yield less value than the 100,000 NP entry fee. However, for avatar collectors, the unique Wheel of Extravagance avatar might make the gamble worthwhile.

For those considering spinning the wheel, financial readiness is crucial. Many seasoned players recommend having a substantial Neopoint reserve—at least a few million—before making this a daily habit. This ensures that losing 100,000 NP on an unlucky spin won’t impact your ability to enjoy other aspects of the game. For players with a stable income from activities like the Stock Market, Habitarium, or daily games, the wheel can be an exciting gamble with the potential for rare rewards. However, for newer or less wealthy players, the wheel might feel more like a frustrating drain on resources.

On the positive side, there are no truly “bad” prizes on the Wheel of Extravagance, unlike other wheels. The worst-case scenario is losing your entry fee, which, while discouraging, is not as detrimental as receiving a negative outcome (like a stat decrease). Some players justify the cost for the rare chance of hitting a jackpot, such as an ultra-valuable item or a stat increase on a beloved battledome pet. That said, these occurrences are infrequent, and consistent spinning without significant wins can feel disheartening.

Ultimately, whether the Wheel of Extravagance is “worth it” depends on your goals. If you’re chasing the avatar or enjoy the thrill of gambling in the game, it might be a fun and worthwhile pursuit. However, if you’re looking for a steady return on investment or are working with a limited budget, it might be better to save your Neopoints for more reliable opportunities.

History of the Wheel of Excitement

The wheel was introduced in July 2010 alongside the site event Save the Wheels. Luckily, this one stuck around afterward! It used to look like this…

Ah, the nostalgic feels…

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 Light Faerie or the Dark Faerie when spinning the Wheel of Excitement 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 prettier! Read below to see what you could win!

How to Play Wheel of Excitement

The Wheel of Excitement provides an exhilarating experience for Neopians, demanding a mere 500 Neopoints for a single spin. However, patience is a virtue, as players must wait a modest two hours between spins.

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.
