For Rise of Kingdoms players who want the most sculptures per gem from the Wheel. Checked October 31, 2026.
Short answer: Spin the Rise of Kingdoms Wheel of Fortune only to a milestone: 10, 25, 45, 70 or 100 spins. The first 10 cost about 4,400 to 5,600 gems and guarantee 5 sculptures of the featured commander. Go further only for a commander you will build. From November 3, gem-bought spin tickets have event-wide limits.

The Wheel of Fortune is the only place to get Wheel-only legendary commanders and their sculptures. It is also one of the easiest places to burn 70,000 gems on a commander you never use. This guide covers how the Wheel works now, what each milestone costs, the November 2026 change, and how to plan your gems around it.
How the Wheel of Fortune works
The Wheel returns roughly every two to three weeks. The timing shifts with kingdom age, season and event rotation, so the in-game Event Calendar is the real schedule. Each Wheel features one legendary commander, or universal sculptures on a universal Wheel.
You get free spins during the event, then reduced-price spins, then full-price spins. Every spin counts toward the milestone chests at 10, 25, 45, 70 and 100 total spins. Spins add up across the event, so you do not have to do them in one sitting.
What each milestone costs
| Spins | About how many gems | What it is for |
|---|---|---|
| 10 | 4,400 to 5,600 | Guaranteed 5 sculptures of the featured commander. The entry point for anyone who wants that commander. |
| 25 | More, plus the next chest | Low spenders, only for a high-priority commander. |
| 45 / 70 | Rising | Accounts building that commander as a main march. |
| 100 | 69,000 to 70,000 | A full push on your next main commander. |
Guides count the cost of the first 10 spins differently because of free and reduced-price spins: Heaven Guardian puts it at about 4,400 gems and Rise of Kingdoms Guides at about 5,600. Plan for the higher number. The exact rewards for the 25 to 100 chests change by Wheel, so read the chest list on the event screen before you commit.
The November 3, 2026 change: spin ticket limits
Update 1.1.13 arrives on November 3, 2026. Spin Tickets bought with gems, including the reduced-price ones, move from daily limits to limits for the whole event. Before, you had to log in each day of the Wheel to use that day's lower-priced tickets. Now you can use them when it suits you, as long as it is inside the event.
Which Wheels to spin, and how far
- Your next main commander: go to the highest milestone your reserve allows. This is where the gems do the most.
- A commander you will build later: 10 or 25 spins to collect the guaranteed sculptures, then stop.
- A commander you will never field: skip it and keep the gems for the next Wheel.
- Universal Wheels: 10 spins is a fair use of gems, because universal sculptures fit any commander.

Plan your gems around it
- Look ahead on the Event Calendar. Find the next Wheel for your main commander and count back. That is your saving window.
- Stack it with More Than Gems when you can. Gems spent on the Wheel during More Than Gems count toward its milestones too: 5 sculptures for 7,000 gems in a day, 13 for 25,000. See the More Than Gems guide.
- Do not stop between milestones. Spins past one chest but short of the next only pay random drops. If you cannot reach the next chest, keep the gems.
- Hold your universal sculptures. Use them to close the last gap on a commander after you have collected the commander-specific sculptures, not before.
For spenders and alliance leaders
- Post the Wheel calendar. When a Wheel for a commander your alliance needs is two or three weeks out, tell your top players so they stop spending gems elsewhere.
- Split commanders across the roster. If six of your strongest accounts push the same commander, your second march type stays weak. Agree who builds what.
- Use the new ticket rule. From November 3, reduced-price tickets are limited per event, not per day. Players who miss a day no longer lose their lower-priced spins.
