[SPOILER ALERT] Upcoming Elite Headgears

These things sounds really intersting, especially the “Premium Mastery” thing :) I am really curious about it, and the moment when it comes real :)

@datguygamer
Maybe the father of all Golden Pigs is… the Wealthy Rogue?!?

“Mastery purchased with Friendahip Essences”? Never saw that in the game. :P

[datguygamer]

@smwforever45 Whenever you re-spin the event wheel (or any wheel for that matter) with FE, the game literally counts it as a purchase and from a technical standpoint, it kind of is. Also, here is the last part of the spectrum:

“getpur.buy_item.slot.slotX.itemlist_slotlist.sort=heart*heart_coin.shop_buy.getitemslot.slot.potbuy”

Note: In-game, FE is referred to as “Heart Coin” and this is the slot list represented by that X.

Slot 0 is Mastery
Slot 1 is ingredients required by the anvil
Slot 2 is ingredients required by the cauldron
Slot 3 is event medals
Slot 4 is arena points
Slot 5 is event ingredients
Slot 6 is Snoutlings
Slot 7 is Stamina Drinks
Slot 8 is blueprints
Slot 9 is Lucky Coins (unused)
Slot 10 is Set Items (unused)
Slot 11 is potions (unused)
Slot 12 is FE (unused)

I knew you would catch that part. Great eye. ;)

@datguygamer
Ohhhh I see.

So there IS a technical possibility to spin up LC’s and set items from the wheel! Now if only Rovio would use them somewhere… they didn’t put these slots in just for fun.

BTW which slot is reserved for treasure chests (like the one at Mouth Pool, the one in each 10th Cave level etc.)?

[datguygamer]

@smwforever45 Actually they were a concept in early days and since is a part of the scrapped codes category. These may never come unless Rovio wishes to.

[datguygamer]

@smwforever45 Also Treasure Chests are considered as Slot 14.

[RedYoshi45]

@datguygamer
When were you able to spin them up? :o

Ah I see. Did they skip 13?

[datguygamer]

@smwforever45 I mean pre-release or developer version concepts as in conceptualized ideas. These are coded but is now scrapped since the devs thought these would benefit the players too much.

No, 13 is shards.

[RedYoshi45]

@datguygamer
They could’ve removed them though… I see it a sign, personally. :P

I wasn’t aware that there were so many things to spin up on reward wheels. XD

[datguygamer]

@smwforever45 Most of the time devs leave their scrapped ideas in the game. That’s no new. But I see where you are coming from.

Yes, and you can see 10 of them yourself in the game.

[RedYoshi45]

@datguygamer
More than 10, actually. I count 14:
– Mastery
– Snouts
– Enchantment Shards
– Stamina Drinks
– Arena points
– Event points
– Treasure chests
– Blueprints
– Ingredients for an Event class
– Ingredients for the Anvil
– Ingredients for the Cauldron
– Banner tops
– Banner flags
– Banner emblems

[datguygamer]

@smwforever45 They are in the wheel but the last 3 items are not counted in slots. Instead they are categorized separately as “GAPM rewards”. Even though some items above are also rewards, they have a slot system but these last items (actually any item obtained from the GAPM) is listed under its own reward lists.

It’s because in the game, all arena items are coded under the GAPM but also made such that whenever we spin the wheel, the GAPM gives it to us but not directly. Instead the codes literally pull it out forcefully from the machine and onto the wheel to reward us with it. So if anyone cane hack the GAPM properly, they can get all wheel items from the GAPM itself (the emblems being the common example). At the same time, the wheel slots will be replaced with Snoutlings as that’s also coded as a scenario since otherwise it would crash the game. Yeah it’s weird, I know.

[RedYoshi45]

@datguygamer
Perplexing.
Is that also the reason why Mastery slots are replaced with Snouts when Mastery is maxed out? Simply not having anything else coded in?

[datguygamer]

@smwforever45 Snoutlings replacing the item in question is coded as an alternative; as a failsafe if you will.

While anything else might not be coded in, Snoutlings are and that’s something. When Item A is maxed out or is no longer fetched by the values, then there’s no need for that object to be there. Thus the game takes the easiest stuff available and puts it there as a secondary option. Keeping the mastery won’t make sense if you are maxed out and having nothing negates the purpose of the wheel and they won’t put premium currency (LC and shards). So the last option left is those silver coins.

[RedYoshi45]

@datguygamer
Although it would sure be cool if there was more to the wheel than Snouts. Especially if you were missing only a single class to completion (for example Thunderbird) and every other class is already at M15, they could make it so you could spin up a few LC’s instead of Mastery to make their way to the last bird a bit shorter.

I know it doesn’t make sense to keep the Mastery but – after all the work to reach M15, there should be more to it than a currency you won’t even need now for a long time.

@smwforever45 @datguygamer
Here we have the rest of Elites :)

[RedYoshi45]

HOLY MOLY. They ALL look STUNNING.

Unfortunately it’ll be a year until we can enjoy them… :(

[datguygamer]

@kennymcc Yes, I already saw them in the files. ;)

Actually @smwforever45, They may come sooner than you think. We already have 12 classes and it has only been a few months since the elite upgrade concept. We’ll have about 6 more elite classes before the year ends.

[KennyMcC]

@datguygamer
Any other changes in ABE have u found?

[datguygamer]

@kennymcc New set items and such. There is a new upgrade made for GPM called the Elite Golden Pig Machine but nothing more beyond that. Nothing has been coded for that yet. Other than that, nothing else. Toss (the one which you are most worried about) is still same.
