Thread: 24 cent average per spin? or NOT!

Hybrid View

  1. #1

    Exclamation 24 cent average per spin? or NOT!

    So I have always wondered how true their saying was about how each wheel spins is 24 cents worth of items. So with this free 100 cents I decided to spin the wheel and keep track of it.

    Here is what I did:

    100 spins in a row
    recorded information
    calculated what each item would take to buy in the shop
    **Any item that that you are unable to buy in the shop I calculated how much Lumber it would take to duplicate that item and then how many cents it would take to buy that much lumber
    and then took the average gain per spin.

    They claim you get 24 cents per spin, my information tells other wise!


    Value of cents Item
    90 5 holy water
    0.083333333 Leather Helm of robin hood

    9.918055556 <----total average of cents per spin.

    I ask anyone else to look at their spins and calculate what they think your average cents per spin is. I do understand that this is not perfect but I do believe it to be closer to the truth then 24 cents per spin.

    Do the same thing when you see 1000c on the wheel.

    just says avg, not each

    Even with 20 spins you might be missing the outliers that will greatly increase the average.

    Also, it's all luck. Quite honestly, it looked like yours sucks :P! I'll start recording my spins and see what I get

    You cant accurately judge the cents value of an item based on the lumber to cents value of the item. The price of lumber changes from day to day, from server to server, while the value of coins always stays the same. Also, how can you calculate how much lumber it takes to duplicate a leather helm of robinhood? Last time i checked heroes didn't cost any lumber. You also only spun 20 times. Like Tlim said, you could have missed outliers. Either way the results of this test don't seem very accurate.

    Heroes don't cost wood? !!!!!! A leather helm is a lvl 15 hero. At a inn you can buy a lvl 15 hero for 15,000 gold. 15,000 gold can buy (15,000/3) 5000 lumber. It takes .0833333 cents to buy 5000 lumber.
    So a leather helm is worth 5000 Lumber.......

    Comparing item prices to resources isn't very accurate. As freakboy mentioned, cents for items or resources keeps a flat price across the game, while lumber sold on the market is regulated differently in each server by players who steadily raise the price in gold to make a profit.

    By that standard, players could easily make the value of all items worth less than 1 cent by selling supplies on their server for no less than 999.999 per 1 resource.

    You still got nearly double the amulet value anyway. so I dont see what the big deal is.
    Look for Heights in the RPG and story section
