Advisor Orville said he couldn't find Willie and asked us to collect wishstones from elemental towers (and Sanctuaries/Sanctums)
since Willie must be doing something to the well.

Wishing well weekend? I was "THIS close" to buying a gem pack on Tuesday--not for the gems but for the guarantee of Lucky Boomer.

we still need him and Cupid Flameslinger

New Top Prizes? We can only hope they'll put some huts in the well, or maybe that shiny piggy bank

PS - all the new legendary figures mean I bought several halls and am seriously poor on stones (less than 500!)

I have over 400 stones by now just by collecting shrines and totems, more than time for a Wishing Well weekend in my opinion.

The facebook account for Lost Islands says alter ego huts will be avail in the store expiring March 22 and this weekend past alter egos will be in the well. With screenshots.

edit:
and I've been saving up stones to try and get Lucky Boomer and Builda Grilla Drilla. If I snag those two I have all the avail skylanders until Breeze comes out. Then wishstones will be for halls of legend for a good while.

Yep, all Alter Ego Huts back (including Charming Cobra Cadabra's Hut) and Wishing Well weekend are announced in my game.

Also 33% off all companions until March 21, and limited time companions are back (at least all the ones I'm missing).

I only had about 580 . I was surprised but then realized they still celebrating ol Patrick,s Day . I wonder if Diggs will pitch up ? If he does i will do a quick toy code trade and reclaim my Jolly bumble fat finger gems .


My third wishstone toss gave me a Surfer SlamBam and between 30 - 50 tosses i got me a blue Zooky Baby . Typical my only alter ego left is the one whose house i pulled out of the well last time .

3 Fisheries
3 Coco Stands
3 blossom trees

2 wishing weekends.

1500+ stones each time

6 missing alter egos

Result a big fat zero alts.

This time I won an airship. I already had 2 out of 6 in storage. As of tonight I have 4 out of 7 in storage.

I finally picked up Diggs.

Still missing 6 alts, 12 companions, one giant house, 2 alt houses and 2 halls(i wasted the wish stones in the well didn't I)

Lots to do on level 45.

I still only need 2 AEs and with one of them being Lucky Boomer, I'm thinking the law of averages is against me
I had almost 3000 last WWW, started with 2600+ and got several over the course of the weekend. and had NO luck. This time, with far fewer stones. STILL no luck.

"MOre than enough" only depends on how many alts you need. SOmetimes you get lucky, but there really are diminishing returns

4 cocoa stands
2 Fisheries
14 x 100,000
(no taverns or B&B's though)

Well, I still need a lot of alts,so I thought I'd get at least a few with this. 350 out of the 400 stones, Fireworks Zook,Autumn Stump Smash and Holiday Wash Buckler(after I got more than enough swappers for gem bonus ._.) and two B&Bs and two Fisheries as well. Running out of space in the XP island, next I'll have to find some in one of the spawning islands or the farm one.
Edit: forgot I also got Swarm's house. Not in that much of a hurry for gems though, just waiting for 50% companion sales.

1500 stones, spent all but 120 of them.

Think it was 5 taverns, 5 cocoa stands, 4 blossom trees, 7 fisheries, 5 BnBs and a bunch of the 100k in gold.

Of course neither of the two alter egos I'm still missing were among my winnings. So guess I'll start piling up wishstones for the next alter ego weekend.

Was disappointed that I didn't get either one but was able to finish out my roster of houses for specific skylanders.

Ok finally got one late last night. It was nice that I could by the house right away.
Fell asleep while trying for another.
Oh well. Next time may be better

Spent 555 stones, did not get Fireworks Zook or any alt houses.

However, I did buy Mystic Star Strike's House and All Hallows Eve Hex's house.

Your chances of winning an alt go down drastically when you are closer to having them all. They likely don't remove the slot from the reward pool for the ones you have and just replace the slot with something else like a decoration. You don't have to just spin up a "top prize", but you also have to spin up the right "top prize". When I first started spinning for alts on well weekends, I would get multiple. But by the time I was down to one it took two different weekends dumping a full load of 2-3000 stones to finally pull Autumn Stump Smash out. My second to last, Surfer Slam Bam took a good 2500 stones to win.

It is, of course, random - but your odds go way down the more you win. Unless you get very lucky, 5000+ stones for your last alt ego isn't unusual from what I have heard.

Yeah that's about what I expected. the last two alter ego weekends I dumped a ton of stones, I think almost 2,000 the first one (and I won 5 or 6 AEs) and something like 2,800 the second one (and another 5-6 AEs).

It's pretty clear that they don't code the prizes as "ok you win a skylander alter ego, now we choose from the list", it's definitely the way defpally describes it.

The real upshot is I'll start piling stones again and won't be buying legendary halls any time soon. Once I have all the AEs stones will go to halls.

Dumped in 2000 stones while still needing 4 alts.

Got ZERO.

Did get Buddy Wrecking Ball's Hut though so it wasn't a total loss.

I ended up with nothing more except one B&B and one tavern
(see, it happens when you mention not getting one on the boards)
2 more cocoa stands, blossom tree, 3 more fisheries and 5 more 1,000,000

They need to add a high level campaign that asks you how many stones you want to use and he does the work for you.
They can have it show him using the stones for the spin and then the results; or they just tell you to check your treasure chest box for the results. (This one could be used for the traps)
That would make 1000 plus stones use faster and let us get back to our regularly scheduled lives.

our regularly scheduled lives are of little importance to them...

if we went to that old thing, would we buy anything again??
