The Wheel of Unimaginable Affluence is a legendary ticket roulette
The Wheel of Unimaginable Affluence is the luxury sibling of the regular Wheel of Fortune, reserved for players at level 70 and above. You spin it with Affluence tickets, the jackpot holds up to a million rubies or relic gear, and the wheel itself levels up — the more you spin, the better the prizes that show up. This guide breaks down how many tickets each wheel level costs, exactly what you can win, where to get tickets, and when spinning actually pays off.
How the wheel works
The Wheel of Unimaginable Affluence is an event camp that appears next to your castle for players at level 70 and above (first added on November 25, 2019). It works the same way as the regular Wheel of Fortune: you pay an Affluence ticket, the wheel spins, and you win a prize from one of five categories: jackpot, tools, tickets, relic gear, and troops. The key difference from the regular wheel: this one can also drop relic gear with 4 bonus effects — otherwise extremely rare items.
The wheel resets every 12 hours (reappearing 5 minutes after the reset), so you need to make your way through the levels within a single window. During the event you're also competing on a leaderboard for end-of-event prizes.
Wheel levels and how many tickets they need
The wheel has 9 levels, and the prize pool gets better with each one. Progressing costs tickets (each spin = 1 ticket):
| Level | Tickets to advance | Cumulative from level 1 |
|---|---|---|
| 1 → 2 | 10 | 10 |
| 2 → 3 | 30 | 40 |
| 3 → 4 | 60 | 100 |
| 4 → 5 | 100 | 200 |
| 5 → 6 | 150 | 350 |
| 6 → 7 | 210 | 560 |
| 7 → 8 | 290 | 850 |
| 8 → 9 | 390 | 1 240 |
The numbers are unforgiving: reaching level 6 (the first threshold with an end reward of 1 000 gold coins and 1 000 silver coins) takes 350 spins, and the maximum takes 1 240. So the basic rule holds: hoard tickets, don't dribble them out — ten tickets spent here and there will never get you to the better prizes at higher levels.
What you can win, from jackpots to common prizes
Jackpot (crown icon) gives a random win from a premium list. The most valuable entries on it:
| Jackpot prize | Range |
|---|---|
| Rubies | 50 000 to 1 000 000 |
| Upgrade tokens | 32 to 640 |
| Construction tokens | 16 to 320 |
| Relic gear | random, 4 bonus effects |
| Sceat | 20 to 100 |
| Wrath of the nomads (decoration) | +3 750 to +4 200 public order |
| Elephant idol (temporary item, 7 days) | +3 to +5 waves, +5 to +35 % wing limit, +5 to +25 % courtyard power |
| Unwordly research tower / Carnival mill (14 days) | +35 to +65 % unit limit on wings / on the front line |
| Sacrifices (Ulrich, Beatrice) | — |
| Building items (wall, warehouse, and food production) | levels 27–42 |
Common prizes include, among other things, 1 000 pieces of elite tools (Emperor's Banner, High Queen's Banner, Ballistraria, Inferno moat, Plunderer's chest, Rage's banner), giant chests of Nomad tablets and Samurai tokens, Berimond tools, 1 500 units each of level-10 defensive troops (Shield-maiden, Valkyrie ranger, Protector of the north, Valkyrie sniper) — and occasionally more relic gear or a free ticket.
End rewards and the leaderboard
At the end of the event, rewards are handed out based on the wheel level you reached and your leaderboard placement:
| Placement / threshold | Reward |
|---|---|
| 1st place | Star compass (+6 waves, +35 % wing limit, +25 % courtyard power, 2 days) and Tree village bakery (+3 750 mead/h, 15 days) |
| Top 10 | Star compass (+4 waves, +35 % wing limit, +25 % courtyard power, 2 days) and Old tree keep (+2 500 mead/h, 15 days) |
| Level 6 | 1 000 gold coins and 1 000 silver coins |
| Level 4 | 1 000 gold coins |
| Level 2 | 1 000 silver coins |
The threshold rewards (level 2/4/6) are within reach with planned stockpiling: 10 tickets for level 2 is easy, 100 for level 4 is realistic, and 350 for level 6 needs a long-term reserve. Fighting for a top 10 spot is a whale's game — that takes thousands of tickets.
Where to get Affluence tickets
The Affluence ticket is a separate currency with several sources:
| Source | Cost / condition |
|---|---|
| Free gifts in the offers overview | free, ongoing |
| Voucher codes in the Sale section | free |
| Master Blacksmith for gold coins | 5 000, 7 500, or 10 000 gold coins per 1 ticket |
| Master Blacksmith for temporary event currencies | 2 500 for 5 tickets, 7 500 for 20 tickets |
| Armorer | 8 000 rubies per ticket |
| Collector events | for currency collected |
| Winning it on the wheel itself | 1 ticket as a common prize |
| Buying paid offers | bonus included with packages |
The best ratio for free-to-play players: temporary Grand Event currencies — 7 500 points currency for 20 tickets is an order of magnitude cheaper than gold coins (5 000+ for a single ticket) and nowhere close to the 8 000 rubies the Armorer charges. Collect tickets steadily from gifts and Grand Events, and stockpile them for one focused push.
