can you win stuff in the prize wheel?

[Slimy Squeaker]

ive gone through quite a few dungeons now, and everytime ive seen the prizewheel its shown me awesome looking stuff and then gives me the crappy prize right above it. at first i thought i was just unlucky, but now im wondering if its just to show you cool items and make you want to buy them. has anyone won something better than a heart or a couple of crowns in that thing?

what cool items? besides lockboxes you can only get temporary stuff (vials, health, ...) and 5-50cr.
and the lockboxes need to be opened with keys.

You can avoid getting hearts if you're at full health going down the elevator, furthermore, you can avoid getting consumables if you have a ton of stuff in your usables bar, and none if you have it full (3 consumables in each spot). Apart from that you can get Materials, Crowns or Lockboxes, I've gotten my fair share of them, and even one yesterday, so I know it can happen. You can open lockboxes with keys from the Supply Depot, Auction house, or from players. Also, cool thing to note, you can change the RNG in your favor by opening boxes and owning keys, it has been proven that this causes you to get more lockboxes from the prize Wheel, but if you own Lockboxes that chance decreases or if you have gotten one not long ago, so it's good to sell them asap.

Here you can see most of the lockboxes I've gotten:

I don't think I've ever gotten anything more useful than a spark of life or maybe an orb, honestly, but all prizes that show up have at least a miniscule chance.

Prize Wheel doesn't drop Orbs or Sparks of Life.

Prize wheel drops lockboxes but it has a higher chance of dropping if you open one. And I can confirm this with over 3k hours and experience, I've once opened a box right in front of the elevator and got a lockbox from that said elevator.

I would usually get like 1 in a month of gameplay, but if I opened one then it would be higher (2-4) but it's not 100% sure you'll get more, since it's rng it can sometimes bite your ass (or reward you with 3 lockbox in a row)

Mirrored Lockbox were the best drop you could have but I think they removed it or they drasticly reduced the drop rate, they are worth 100k+ cr depending on the economy and promos (and how badly someone wants it)

Lockboxes are usually 20k off months and about 1-10k cr in their months (lockboxes cycle each month if you didn't knew)

Edit: If price didn't change in the past 6-10 months :P cause I don't check the economy, I only hop in to wave hello to friends :)

I'm 99% sure it has at one point. I've gotten good stuff other than lockboxes before.

It never had either of them.

Nope, lockboxes were always the best you could get out of the prize wheel. Best prize being Mirrored lockboxes since you could fetch xtall or xshort, meaning you can get 1m cr from Mirrored, if you were lucky

I got a Mirrored with a Xsmall once, so I can confirm that's true.
