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

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. This strategic cooldown period ensures that each turn remains a special and anticipated event, enhancing the overall excitement.

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 offers a diverse array of prizes, each tied to a specific outcome. From the exhilarating 20,000 Neopoints jackpot to the potential for acquiring rare magical items like bottled faeries, players are in for a captivating journey. Notable prizes include complete healing for all pets, random Neopoint rewards, and the coveted Wheel of Excitement avatar.

You can spin the wheel for 500np every 2 hours. There are a plethora of prizes, including its most coveted prize: an avatar! The prizes are random, so unless you’re really lucky, it will take a lot of spinning to get some of the better prizes; so add it to your list of dailies and good luck!

1. Your active pet gets Chickaroo.
2. You win between 100 and 350np.
3. You win 5,000np.
4. The wheel says “Something mysterious happens to you and your pets… you are not sure what it is, however…” but nothing happens.
5. The Pant Devil steals something from your inventory.

Notes

• Since you can win items and neopoints from this wheel, you cannot spin the Wheel of Excitement 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 in the bottom right-hand corner of the game screen.

Conclusion

The Wheel of Excitement stands as a testament to the magical and unpredictable nature of Neopia. From the heights of faerie lands, players can embark on a journey of chance, discovery, and potential fortune. Whether you seek the thrill of the spin or the pursuit of exclusive prizes, the Wheel of Excitement remains a captivating destination for all Neopians. So, gather your Neopoints, brace yourself for the unknown, and take a spin into the clouds for an experience that promises excitement like no other.

Laying atop the hills of Meridell is the biggest and laziest petpet in Neopia, “Turmy” the Turmaculus, who simply sleeps all the live-long day. If you bring your petpet to the sleeping beast and happen to wake him up, he can grant you fantastic prizes!

“Legends speak of a petpet a who had a gigantic appetite. As he ate, he grew, and as he grew, he ate… until one day this colossal petpet could not move any more. The Turmaculus can be found in the land of Meridell, sleeping nearly 24 hours a day. If you can wake him up, chances are he may be able to help you with an item, or a healing spell… just don’t catch him in a bad mood (we weren’t kidding about his appetite!)”

WAKING TURMACULUS — “TURMY TIMES”

So, you know you need to use your petpet to wake Turmaculus and get some cool prizes. Sound easy enough, right? Unfortunately it’s not. The thing about “Turmy” is that he is so big and lazy that he only awake for one hour a day.

Luckily, these hours are not completely random and there is an active on-site page that posts the “Turmy times” everyday, which can be found here (this page also explains the many calculations the user uses to predict the times each day). If you are going for the avatar or to receive BD challenger, it is recommended that you check the page in advance!

Other places to find reminders of “Turmy times” or notifications that Turmy is currently awake for the hour are the Avatars/NeoSignatures Chat and the Battledome Chat neoboards.

Zzzzzzzzzz…

WAKING THE BEAST

Waking Turmy is really very simple. First, go to his sleeping spot in Meridell (you can do by clicking here!).

You will asked to select which method you would like to use to wake Turmaculus. These are just for fun and have no effect on whether or not Turmy will awaken. Remember: the hour in which he will awaken is predetermined! Still, it’s fun beat him with a stick when you’ve been trying for months to get the avatar. 😉

The many different ways you can take out your anger on Turmy!

If it is not the hour in which he will wake up, you’ll get this message:

Try as many times as you like, but he won’t wake up.

Now, if it is the hour in which he will wake up, you’re in for a treat or two!

PRIZES

If you do manage to awaken the great Turmaculus, there are a myriad of prizes!

If your petpet is eaten:

• An avatar as well as Turmaculus as a Battledome Challenger
  NOTE: If he eats your petpet… it’s gone! You won’t get it back!

You might lose your petpet but you do get these avatar for your collection!

Otherwise, your petpet will not be eaten you can receive these prizes:

• Nothing happens…
• Your pet becomes stronger
• Your pet is fully healed
• Your petpet gains a level
• Either 100, 250, or 350 Neopoints
• You receive one of the following items:

Axe Shrub	Beef Jerky	Book of Swords	Guide to Knighthood	Lucky Green Boots	Medieval Shirt
Poets Hat	Sausages	Sword Bush	The Tournament Handbook	Toy Sword	Turkey Potato Dinner

Notes

• Since you can win neopoints and items from Turmaculus, you should not attempt to wake him on your side account.

Deadly Dice is a game that you can play at Neopet’s latest hour in order to win some spectacular prizes. That is, if you’re not too scared to go up against this creepy guy…

Meanwhile on Roo Island …

Count von Roo, the vampiric Blumroo that sleeps in a coffin 23 hours a day, can be found on Roo Island on the Deadly Dice island on the left side of the map. He is only awake between 12am – 1am NST, meaning all other times, you’ll find him like this:

Nothing happens and you simply have to leave. Now, if you visit him at his designated awake hours, you’ll have the ability to play him in a game of dastardly deadly dice!

Playing Deadly Dice

Deadly dice is an extremely simple game. You roll a die and Count von Roo rolls a die.

If the number you roll is higher than his number, your pet will gain a level!

One. You hope he rolls this every. time.

If the number he rolls is higher, your pet will lose a level! D’oh!
NOTE: Because your pet has the ability to lose a level during the game, you must use a pet that is level 2 or higher to begin the game.

In the event of a tie, you will have to play again. When this happens, two levels are at stake! This means that if you lose the tie breaker, your pet will lose two levels! Double d’oh! Similarly, if you win, your pet will gain two levels.

How to Beat and Win Deadly Dice

• Understand the Dice Roll Pattern
  Count Von Roo uses a combination of dice in the game, and while luck plays a significant role, understanding the pattern and possible outcomes of your dice can help you plan accordingly. Pay attention to the types of dice you’re rolling and how they correspond to the rewards you’re aiming for. If you’re unsure, don’t hesitate to look up dice combinations or consult a community of experienced players for tips.
• Betting Wisely
  The game has a betting system where you wager Neopoints to play. Be sure to start with smaller bets if you’re new or want to minimize risk. Gradually increase your bets as you become more comfortable with the game and understand your odds.
• Pay Attention to Special Dice
  There are special dice in the game that can change the course of the match. These may include dice that give you extra turns or rerolls. If you’re lucky enough to land on these, use them strategically to increase your chances of winning.
• Avoid Chasing Losses
  Since Count Von Roo’s Deadly Dice is primarily based on chance, it’s important not to get carried away with trying to win back losses. If you’ve had a string of bad luck, consider taking a break or adjusting your bet size rather than increasing your risk. It’s better to walk away and return with a clear mindset than to end up losing more Neopoints.
• Take Advantage of the Daily Game
  Count Von Roo’s Deadly Dice is a daily game, so you can play it once every day. Be sure to log in daily and make your attempts—whether or not you win, you’ll gain valuable experience and insights into your strategy.

Deadly Dice Avatar

The tie breaker is directly related to the Count von Roo avatar, which you can gain and lose every time you play (like the Emo Usuki shopkeeper avatar that you can gain and lose). Simply put, if you do not have the avatar and you win a tie breaker against Count von Roo, you will win the avatar! If you have the avatar and you lose a tie breaker, you will lose your avatar! Be careful!

This spooky avatar could be yours!

Closing Dice Notes

• You can only play Deadly Dice once a day with one pet. If you try and return, he’ll tell you to scram!
• You are allowed to play this game on side accounts. (Editorial)
• This game is available to play all day on October 31st — Halloween!
• Playing Deadly Dice does not help you to get Count von Roo as a Battledome Challenger — that is a random event that can happen anywhere on the site, anytime.

Random Events in Neopets are the hidden gems of gameplay that bring unexpected moments of excitement, reward, and sometimes even misfortune. These occurrences are surprises that happen while you’re navigating Neopia, enhancing the world’s charm by adding elements of unpredictability. From valuable item drops to Neopoint steals, these events add an extra layer of fun, helping users encounter rewards they may not have otherwise discovered.

What are Random Events in Neopets?

Random Events are automated occurrences that appear as pop-ups or notifications on the user’s screen. They can happen at any time, on any page across Neopia, and are triggered simply by browsing or refreshing pages. They add spontaneity to the game and provide players with anything from valuable items and Neopoints to unexpected encounters with popular Neopian characters.

Random Events vary widely in content and can involve unique interactions that affect pets, possessions, or even a player’s experience points.

---

How Often Do Random Events Happen in Neopets?

The frequency of Random Events in Neopets isn’t fully predictable. However, players tend to encounter these events at least once or twice in a day with regular gameplay. They are determined by chance rather than a set frequency, so there’s no way to trigger them intentionally. Spending more time in Neopia and refreshing pages increases your chances, but there’s no set guarantee.

Players who spend extended time exploring high-traffic areas like the Shops, Quests, or Faerieland seem to report more frequent Random Events, but this could be based on more refreshes rather than actual higher probability.

Types of Random Events: From Good to Mischievous

Neopets Random Events can be classified into several categories based on their effects on the player’s account or Neopets. Let’s break down the primary types:

• Positive Events: These bring good fortune, offering Neopoints, rare items, or pet stat boosts.
• Neutral Events: These events usually have little to no effect on the player. They’re often humorous or involve an encounter with a Neopian character.
• Negative Events: The least desired, these events take Neopoints, items, or even lower a pet’s stats.

Understanding each category helps in preparing for both the positives and the potential setbacks!

Beneficial Random Events You’ll Want to Look Out For

Several Random Events in Neopets are known for their positive impacts on gameplay. Here are some of the most popular and sought-after events:

1. Faeries Blessings: Faeries can randomly bless your Neopet, increasing stats like defense or agility. This bonus can save a trip to the Training School and boost your pet’s chances in the Battledome.
2. Neopoints Gifts: Occasionally, a Neopian character might randomly gift you a substantial number of Neopoints. These events can range from a few hundred to even thousands in value, making them a fantastic boost to your bank account!
3. Petpet Transformations by Boochi: Boochi’s Ray can transform your Neopet into a Baby, a popular painted color for many collectors. Though it’s random, Boochi’s appearance is a sought-after event due to the rare transformation!
4. Finds with the Pant Devil: Interestingly, while the Pant Devil usually steals items, there are rare occasions where players report finding items after his visit. It’s said this may be a secret event, or perhaps just a strange game glitch.

The Notorious Pant Devil: How to Prepare for the Worst!

One of the most feared Random Events, the Pant Devil has been causing havoc in Neopia for years. Known for his penchant for theft, the Pant Devil can steal items directly from your inventory.

Tips to Avoid the Pant Devil’s Theft:

• Keep Valuable Items in the Safety Deposit Box: Only keep low-value items in your inventory when exploring the site.
• Consider Investing in a Pant Devil Attractor: These items are rumored to reduce the likelihood of theft, though they aren’t foolproof.
• Keep a Pant Devil Potion in Inventory: If you’re unlucky enough to encounter the Pant Devil often, these items may help keep him at bay temporarily.

How to Increase Your Chances of Random Events

Though Random Events are, well, random, there are strategies some players swear by to improve their odds:

• Frequent Refreshing: Since each page refresh holds a chance for an event, players often reload specific pages repeatedly.
• Target High-Traffic Areas: Pages like the Money Tree, Auctions, and the Neopian Plaza are rumored to have higher Random Event activity.
• Play for Extended Periods: Spending longer consecutive time in Neopia might improve your chances of encountering an event simply due to increased refreshes.

Unique Random Events in Neopian History

Several Random Events in Neopian history have gained fame for their unique outcomes. Here’s a look at some of the most unforgettable ones:

1. The Snowager’s Visits: Players report rare occurrences of the Snowager appearing randomly on pages, offering icy treats or items. Most players seek out his lair directly, but these random visits are thrilling to witness.
2. The Mysterious Grey Faerie: Once an uncommonly encountered faerie, she now occasionally appears as a Random Event, rewarding players with mysterious and sometimes magical items.
3. The Neopets Tenth Birthday Event: For a brief time, Neopets’ tenth birthday celebration was marked by Random Events where users received special items.

---

Strategies to Manage Negative Random Events

Not every Random Event brings joy. Negative events can be frustrating but are manageable with preparation:

1. Move Valuables to the Bank or Safety Deposit Box: The Pant Devil and other mischievous characters can only affect items in your inventory. Storing precious items safely can prevent unexpected losses.
2. Maintain a Backup of Neopoints: Random Events can sometimes drain Neopoints, so keeping a reserve in the bank can be a buffer against theft.
3. Take Advantage of Battledome Wins: Some Random Events involve an attack or stat reduction. Winning in the Battledome before encountering these events can restore any lost points, keeping your pet’s stats balanced.
