Hey Howdy Hey Heart Breakers!
So for those of you who have used donuts to speed up the rosebush crop you’ll be all ready for this information. For everyone else who refuse to use donuts on silly things like speeding up a 24hr crop you’ll be ready for this information sometime after 12pm EST tomorrow…but feel free to read anyway. (otherwise I’ll be sad and think you love Bunny more than me…just remember I’m the one who makes sure she gets food and “water”)
Who’s excited to see a Wheel back in TSTO?! Awww come on now was Christmas THAT bad? Eventually EA fixed the odds….keyword eventually. But the good news is they’ve learned from their mistakes (heck even made fun of it!) and they’ve made the new and improved Wheel of Friendship for Valentine’s Day! Let’s take a closer look at the Wheel and how you will go mad fall in love with it!
Krusty: Hey hey. It’s Valentine’s Day! Your change to tell that special someone in your life…and all the unknown weirdos you friended to get your numbers up…that you acknowledge their existence – in order to get free stuff on a phone game! And here’s something totally new – The “Wheel of Friendship!”
Homer: Wait, isn’t that the same wheel you put out for Christmas?
Krusty: No, that wheel was totally rigged. This one is only a little bit rigged. Also, it’s pink!
Homer: Just like the thousands of donuts I intend to burn through buying spins for it.
Oh EA! At least they can laugh at themselves and our torture right? Anyway onto the Wheel itself. Unlike the Holiday Wheel, the Wheel of Friendship contains decorations and only decorations. Once you’ve hit an item it does not disappear, it remains on the wheel and you can continue to get multiples of the same decoration. Consider it a little Valentine decorating assistance.
Every 200 Hearts collected earns you 1 spin on the Wheel of Friendship! How do you earn Hearts? Well check out this post for the details on earning Hearts from your friends. You can also pay (surprise, surprise) DONUTS for more spins. Here are the donuts for spins break downs:
So when you first launch the Wheel, you’ll notice all of the items have a white heart behind them. As you spin the Wheel and land on an item the heart turns red. Once you’ve filled the Wheel with red hearts you’ll unlock the Tunnel of Love for Krustyland!
Yes, it’s really that simple. You only need to land on each item once to unlock the Tunnel of Love. You don’t need to clear the Wheel (since all of items will remain on there, and you can keep acquiring the decorations) and you won’t earn any useless Gift Cards!
Let’s talk about the prizes and their odds:
Items are broken down into odds of 15%, 10% & 5%
At 15% odds you have the following items:
Lovely Fence
At 10% odds you have the following:
Love Bench
Lovely Lampost
Lovely Flower Cart
Cherub Bird Bath
Fountain of Love
Valentines Balloons
Lovely Gazebo
Valentines Pond
At 5% odds you have following:
I Choo Choo Choose You Train
As you can see most of the items fall into the 10% odds category. Not to shabby…
So what happens once you earn the Tunnel of Love?! Well it’s placed in your inventory and you can place it in Krustyland! Once placed it unlocks the ability for Marge to visit Krustyland! However, this is no particular questline associated with placing the tunnel. But it still looks cool in Krustyland!
