Just happened. Cupid is an "alter ego" and is available for 29 days. He's 1500 gems OR can be won in the new wishing well. The wishing well is a random prize. You can spend 10 gems or acquire a wishing stone from an element totem. Didn't see any totems yet but it said check back often.

Yes I'm curious as to how totems appear...

I was playing with the clock to get some gems, and a totem appears on feb 1. It is a stack of four elements. Drop a skylander of the correct element onto the totem to destroy an element block. When the totem is destroyed you get a wishing well token. If you don't win special skylander in the well, you can pay ten gems to reroll at the well. Totems appear randomly and have a time limit

This wishing well is a SCAM

A bit of an update (theory) about how the elemental totems work:
I found one in my game, and dropped the first three skylanders onto it. The fourth element that was required was Tech, and I unfortunately only have one Tech Skylander, and he was going to be at the Tech Shrine for another hour. I shut down my game, figuring I'd come back in an hour to drop him on the Elemental Totem to finish it out. I checked back 40 minutes later, and the Elemental Totem was gone. They said that you have to act quick, since they'll disappear - it may be that once you start unlocking them, you only have so long to drop all four on there - so I'd recommend making sure you have one of each of the four required elements _before_ you start the process, lest you lose an elemental totem!

I wouldn't go so far as to call it a scam, but it does "encourage" those of us with fewer characters to consider sinking some money/gems into the game. I only have 6 characters from 5 elements. I haven't put any extra money into the game via online or figures so I've been playing totally free. That said, I've seen at least a dozen totems pop up today only have only been able to complete 1 of them. I've been taking notes as to which elements show up the most and strangely enough, it's all the elements I don't have. Its almost like they know exactly what i have and dont have and are encouraging me to buy what i need to complete the totem.

Wait a sec. That kinda sounds scammish... Anyways, I decided to stick to my guns and not sink money into the game so it looks like i will get very few chances at the wishing well. Too bad. Is intriguing. As for timing, I noticed that mine appeared about once an hour. I believe the timer for the totem begins as soon as you see it since I didn't bother even trying the ones I didn't have and they still disappeared quickly.

Oh well. Wish I had more characters.

Ps I got 5 gems on my only toss of the day. So so.

Hello All,

New to this forum but have been reading it for over a year now.

Just wondered where people are seeing totems appear?? Mine are only on the centre island that I have seen.

I've had my totems show up on all 3 of my islands.

so how do i get?

I don't think anyone will get him through the well for at least a few weeks. I think they'll try to string it out to make people desperate so they buy it. When they see no one is going to buy him, then they 'might' start letting us win him from the well.

Agreed. Too soon for the high ticket prizes, methinks. Looks as though one shows up every couple of hours. Although I just checked back after being away from it for a while and actually had two totems available. They've been spread throughout the islands (all of mine are unlocked). I also have not used any real cash and will not. Just a matter of going back to the game and letting time take its course. So if i win this, OK, but if not....meh.

Has anyone won him yet?

I did

Really?

Yeep I had gotten about 4 wishing stones then used 30 gems for the trys.

Nice! Glad to know it's actually possible to win him.

I won Cupid flameslinger today from willy's wishing well. Also it took me 3 wishing stones.

I'm close to levelling up to 30 and only have two Skylanders to get, one being the special Flameslinger.

I wonder what would happen if I bought the other one before levelling.

I just leveled up to level 25 to use my "spin to get a free skylander" cus i have all but the new 1500 gem one, so i figured I would get it that way. And I did not get a spin. So you cant get it from the spin for a skylander.

Not surprsingly, that won't work.

will it be a store exclusive?

It's not a real figure, why are people finding this so difficult to understand?

Quote: Buzzthebatgirl

Because they've taken a game that's devoted entirely to physical figures and their variants, and made a variant that doesn't exist as a physical figure. It's something that's never been done since the start of Skylanders.

A better question is, how much did the marketing team have to drink before they decided it was a good idea to make virtual-only variants? They could at least PRETEND that the Skylanders games are all designed to give you ways to use the figures you've purchased, instead of just admitting, "Yeah, this one's just a Farmville clone with the Skylanders license slapped on it."


A better way to run it would have been an exclusive series of quests, but you need to either own or buy normal Flameslinger to attempt them. If you could complete the series of quests in time, you could switch between Flameslinger and Valentine's Flameslinger at will. If not, you'd have to wait until next February to be able to give it another try.

so how do i get it?!

to get Cupid flameslinger you have to buy it in the game for $25.

Or win it from Willy's Well.

I burned 2,500 gems into the well 10 gems at a time, and didn't get ****.

Very disappointed by this update, I'm really expected to pay $25 for one Skylander unlock?

You spend 2,500 Gems on a Lottery for a character that cost 1,500 Gems to buy outright?

I was curious.

I think spending $25 for a single Skylander outright is way overpriced, but I figured for the sake of the forums and sharing the experience I'd burn a set amount through the system to see what came out. Probably got half a million gold, tens of thousands of energy, and a handful of gems (never did get the 100 gems).

I won the 35,000 gold first place prize.I really hope for cupid flameslinger though, because I refuse to pay any money for in-game purchases.

...after getting some gems from TRex and HotHead houses, along with two stones, I also got one of the 'top prizes' of 100 gems. Turned 'em right around into the well, but nothing yet....24 more days to go....

I got 35,000 gold twice in a row.

Saved up 700+ gems for the next two houses that [i hope] come out.

I think the totem timing is somewhat more random as I have had two available at once.

The time is definitely short as if I'm checking it every hour or so, all I see most of the time is the flash of disappearance letting me know one was there.

Yea I had two yesterday but all my Water Pokemon were running missions so I didn't get to finish them, now I've taken to keeping one of each type out of missions so if a totem pops I can have another chance.

I've done the "lottery" almost 300 times now though, and haven't gotten Flameslinger.

Umm...

Sorry, I've been doing the wishing well with more than 30 stones/attempts. The best I got was 2 gems. Does it matter if you click on the well while it's spinning to stop the spin or do you just spin/click once? This is driving me mad as I am confused if I need to time my click while it is spinning.

No, clicking on the well during the spinning does not have any effect. Just wish once and get your reward!

Thanks Advisor_Orville.

I always thought I was a lucky person, but I still haven't won Cupid Flamesoinger yet! So I'll beg my parents for an iTunes card this Valentines Day

I've had no luck so far winning the Cupid Flameslinger but I've won the top prize of 35,000 coins twice now.

Lol I won Cupid Flamesoinger from throwing the stone in the well on my B-day. Was so happey.

9 days into February and still no totem, no wishing well, no Cupid Flameslinger... NOTHING.

I've shut the game down 3-5 times a day, rebooted the iPad and nothing. My iPhone came up with the update right away. My son plays the game on my iPhone and is way behind me but yet he has the ability of the totem and Cupid Flameslinger.

Not sure what I can do but sit back and wait with this totem to magically appear. Pissing me off that I'm losing so much time (now 9 days into the month).

whats there not to understand? did you read this thread? did you notice its in the "Lost Island" section?

Is there any consensus that its better to hoard wishing stones and do them 10 at a time or is it okay to use them as soon as you get them?

Also anyone noticed a pattern to what skylanders you used? is it better to use high ranked ones or a mix or what?

Got a 3rd 35,000 gold prize and a 100 gem prize. I think 100 gems is better than Cupid . What do you think?

I've gotten the 35,000 golds like, 3 or 4 times, as well. Still waiting for CFS. Fiend28 brings up a bunch if very good points. I've been wondering all of the same things.

My boyfriend thinks that for Valentines Day, the odds of winning him will go up for 24 hours. Anyone else think of this at all?

Well, I still don't have Cupid Flamey, but I won the 35,00 coins, like, four times now...
MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEH I STILL WANT CUPID FLAMEY WAMEY

Be happy you all have the "chance" and use of a Wishing Well. 12 days into Feb and still no update for me. :-(
