How can you gain the Spin Doctor badge?

I am really baffled by the Spin Doctor badge (spin 2051 fibers into 293 thread in one super long spin).

The spinner just can't process so much fiber in one go, so I thought the badge description was just a fancy way to say "spin so much stuff"... but it is not, as I spun over 2300 units in batches as large as I could (repairing the spinner as it got close to breaking) and I got no badge.

So the question is: what do you actually have to do to get that badge?

  • I got it using the splendid spindle. Repair it to max, then spin equal to or more than 2051 at once, and it should be able to get through it without needing repairs in the middle.

  • I know there is another badge to do the same thing with the spindle buff upgrade too

  • That's probably the string practitioner.

  • Oh. 

    Splendid spindle (not spinner... sorry for my bad English). I just didn't know it existed at all!

    Thanks!

  • I thought you needed one, two princes to kneel before you for that badge. Guess I've been doing it wrong.

  • I got Spin Doctor easily after reading this, but I can't seem to do string practitioner, although I have the upgrade.

  • The upgrade was the 2nd card I ever bought - but it still took plenty of tries. I suggest batches of 75 fiber, if you don't have a hankering to brush more.

  • thanks. I will try that. So it's more a 'might happen at some point' than a given. I wasn't sure.

  • String Practitioner is a chance one. I spun bundles of 7 one at a time and it finally happened. Took about 15 or so tries if I remember correctly.

  • I used the same method as Naveena but with 40 or so goes. There is a 4% chance of success and so like the loneliness cubimal badge it is down to luck.

  • It can be built - not sure what skills are needed, but it isn't hard to build if you have em. Praps I'd best make a few. I used to offer to lend mine out but no one borrowed it so I thought everyone had their own.
