December wishing well [CLOSED]

It took me about 185 stones to get Snowler Brawl. I was also pretty lucky with gold -- four $100k prizes -- and I won a bed and breakfast, a cocoa stand, and yet another tavern. I have yet to EVER win a shrine...I'm pretty stoked about the B&B, though.

How are the rest of you faring?

Wooow, I saved up like 125 stones to drop in all together. I just got her in 36 stones.

Well, THAT was boring. But eh I got a fishery so that was cool. But I'm OCD and won't throw in wish stones after I get the grand prize so like now the month will be very boring.

Edit: nevermind, looks like I triumphed my OCD for today. I went ahead and threw in the rest of the stones hoping for a special house or shrine since my luck was going so well, but the best I got was a magic sculpture, water sculpture, tavern, and like two sets of 55,000 coins.

Snow?

It was 32 Celsius here and felt hotter in the sun.

Is it really snowing this early in Northern climes? Pardon my ignorance, it never gets to more than sleet and hail here.

I'm not sure where you live, but the first day of winter is in December in the Northern Hemisphere. As for snowing this early, we had snow a few days ago in Kentucky, and there was even more snow in Arizona and Texas (which is about as far south as you can get in the mainland US, other than southern parts of Florida). It's not as normal for this time of year, but not completely uncommon. It is normal, though, to get snow in December (hence White Christmas). I do think they should have given us a Christmas/holiday alter ego and saved a winter one for January. Maybe they'll give us one with kudos, as others have suggested.

The legendaries can't be had in the game, anyway, unless you have a portal, so I'm the same way. I'm not opening ours until my son gets them for Christmas, so I'm in no hurry for them to be added, anyway smilie But since they are in the game through the portal, I wouldn't doubt it will be soon. I'm trying to think if there are any other variants that haven't been added. They seem to be adding one about every week, or every other week. So I can see them start to be added in the next week or two.

I think I got the alter ego the fastest that I ever have. Now that I end up with a lot of wishing stones each month, I normally don't care that it takes a lot, as I always feel like I get a better chance of getting some of the top prizes. But there really isn't much in the well, this time around. The only house that's in there, for me, is Swarm's house. So either that or a shrine. Although an undead shrine would be nice to get me to 3, if Snowler Brawl gives a shrine (as someone mentioned she gives a special prize and Birthday Bash gave a shrine). I didn't end up with much, this time around.

24 gems - 100,000

76 gems - 100,000

89 gems - Blossom Tree (I used to not count these, but since they are a top prize and give 10% xp bonus, I counted it)

113 gems - 100,000

118 gems - Snowler Brawl

I doubt I'll throw any more stones, this month. I picked up a few more Legendaries, and since I spent a lot of stones with last month's glitch, I need to start saving up stones for Hall of Legends.

I'd saved about 600 stones, so after I got SB, I bought another hall of legends. I still have 200+ stones rattling around...I'm kinda hoping they'll throw something cool out there for Cyber Monday.

And I have a gazillion kudos. I wonder when we'll get something new worth spending them?

Started off with about 3052 stones, and had her won by 2973. Won 2 fisheries and 100k once. Hoping they release the new legendaries soon as I have an empty house that needs to be filled! Doubt I'll throw anymore in the wishing well though. Hope they release some new houses that are stones only again!

Took me 173 Stones, just over the last luck meter step-up. Here are the results of my throws until then (just the top prizes).

41 Egg Basket
43 100,000 Coins
45 100,000 Coins
81 Tavern
117 100,000 Coins
127 Fishery
142 Fishery
150 Cocoa Stand
173 Snowler Brawl

I still have 800 stones. I will continue to track top prizes so I can start collecting data to estimate odds. I would appreciate anyone else's data too! Obidswan, I will take you data. Thanks!

Build up a collection of shrines. I've won most of mine with quests, but they eventually put them on sale for 150 & sometimes 100. If you're just starting out, I would try to get companions that help you with earning gems before buying shrines. As gems are more precious than wish stones and you can earn back the gems to eventually get the shrines. But look for ways to earn them, too. I've only bought 2 shrines and I have quite a few, now.

Incredibly, I came back to my game this afternoon and found that none of the above stuck. I must have been playing outside of wifi range and when I logged back in it got my cloud save from last night. The good news is that when I started over, I got Snowler Brawl in only 92 stones--a personal best. The bad news is that I've now thrown more stones than this morning and got none of my primo buildings. I've said it before and I'll say it again: if it weren't for bad luck I'd have no luck at all.

92 Snowler Brawl
110 100,000 Coins

Buy/win shrines and check hourly... Also leveling from 12 to 13 and 13 to 14 nets 5 stones each time.

Bed and Breakfast is a house normally bought with gems (regular price 1000 gems) takes up 4 squares, collects every 2 hours giving you 400XP and 120 gold and houses 2,500 mabu. I have 9, all won from the wishing well over the last few months

Took me 140 stones this time. The only top prizes I got this time was 100,000 coins once, 1 tavern, and 1 Blossom tree. Seems to be much fewer top prizes than I would normally get for that many stones.

My son took the standard 180 stones, and got 8 or 9 100,000 coins, 1 tavern, 1 fishery, and 1 egg basket. Since he's saving up for spins, all the gold was wonderful.

OK, I've thrown 500 stones and got 5x 100,000 coins and two Blossom Trees. That's it. I have to say I'm really upset about this. I get making the old alt skylanders hard to get, but why are B&Bs, Fisheries and Taverns impossible for me now too? Am I really the only one this unlucky? Right now, pretty much all I have to look forward to is the next time they raise the level cap, and I sure would like to acquire as many helpful buildings to that end as possible. I am unhappy with this development, especially when I had won 2 fisheries and a tavern and had all that invalidated and yanked away from me.

I'm now wondering if the odds for all good top prizes (sorry, 100,000 coins is not a good prize--I collect more than that hourly) go down after you get the monthly alt. In my first set of spins, I got all the "good stuff" before getting Snowler Brawl. The second time around, I got her way early (for me at any rate) and just about nothing afterwards. If so, that really stinks because I can generate 1000s of stones per month and if there is really NOTHING to spend them on (even spins), then what the heck?

I got the dec alter ego when the wishing well was almost full to the top.... :-(

However, along the way I got another B&B, fishery, egg basket, 2 x 100.000 and..... for the first time a shrine! At the end not a bad result.
