In our last release we changed Webkinz forever with the ability for players to earn free pets just by regularly playing the game. Your response has been overwhelmingly positive to this new feature. Who doesn’t like free stuff?
We have also heard your requests to make the medallions easier to collect. And we will be making some exciting changes in this regard.
First though, let us explain that yes, we rolled out Pet Medallions knowing that they would be difficult to collect a lot of them over this first release. We did this for two reasons:
- We want trading in your medals for a new pet to be exciting. Like that first time you traded in your Gems for the legendary Crown of Wonder. Something that you worked hard for and that is very satisfying when you succeed at reaching your goal.
- To get that balance right, it’s always easier to add new methods of collection, than it is to take methods away.
So far we’ve had three ways to collect:
- Our initial floating medallion event that awarded one per day.
- Our arcade prize system that can award up to 10 per day.
- Our Daily Gift award, as many of you were surprised to discover as we kept this one a secret for you to find
Starting in our next release we will be making the following changes to give you even more chances to find medallions:
- We are significantly improving the odds of getting a prize drop when reaching a good score in the arcade, and we’re improving the odds of your prize being a pet medallion.
- We are improving the odds of getting a medallion from the Daily Gift.
- Starting in August, Deluxe Members will receive pet medallions in their monthly Gift Box in addition to the current monthly awards.
- We will be adding Medallions to the Wheel of Wow and as prizes for some of our Daily Activities in a future release. We had hoped to have these in the next release but we’ve run into some technical issues.
- Finally, in our August release we will be replacing the current Magic W floaty-clicky prize pool with Pet Medallions! Yes, you’ll have a chance to find another pet medallion every day!
We are also adding another SIX pets for you to collect in this next release, taking the total available up to 18. Here’s a sneak peek of these pets:
Do you have a favorite medallion pet? Let us know in the comment section below…
Leave to me! I got Raccutie and Mystical Panda and I been RAIDING these trading cards that day
How, I don’t have a clue how to get extra coins, I play the games etc but still nothing.. I want so bad..
how do you know if your medal is a pet medallion? and how do you trade them in?
how do I even get the medallions from the games at the arcade?
Could you please give us more games in the Arcade to play to give us a better chance of winning Pet Medallions? There aren’t too many games on the Arcade that can give us the opportunity to win a medallion, and some people might not even be that good at the current games that have been chosen so far.
I’m playing on Arcade every day, and spending a lot of time on WW, but never got floating medallion, and cannot get any scores enough for exchange for medallion. How come?
Same here
I don’t know how to find or trade a coin.
I can’t find any coins anywhere,, Any suggestions???? also can’t figure not even once the strentgh class, I have 10 on everything but not even one on that class.. any suggestions??? Thanks birdfolks
Do you think you’ll ever add more games with prize opportunities?
Webkinz I need help I finally got 10 medallions for the monkey and when i clicked on them to put towards the Dragonfly i’m not sure if I did it right, they didn’t go on the Dragon flies pic? Is there a way to fix this?
You have to exchange your 10 Cheeky Monkey Medallions for 1 Any Pet Medallion. You can then apply that Any Pet Medallion to the Dragonfly.
Thank you so much! While I certainly don’t want it to easy to earn, it has been exceedingly difficult…
