The Wheel of Fate also known as the spinning wheel is a feature in Blade & Soul which allows you to get extra loot. You will find yourself using this regularly during the whole game. There are multiple wheels of fate throughout the Blade & Soul universe & to use them you will need an orb like essence.
The essences you need depend on the zone you are in. Up until level 45, for the most part, you can acquire these essences by simply killing the world bosses present in the surrounding areas (There are also a few wheels that require ‘valor stones’ to use but i will discuss this later in the article). After level 45 you may find a few wheels that take other items as ‘currency’ which allows you to use them.
Well, it's RNG, so while most people will get the average, the statistical outliers will get cursed by not getting what they want ever. Maybe the Wheels should have a 'failsafe' mechanism that, after a number of spins not getting the outfit pieces, you are guaranteed to get them? For example: every 15 tries you are guaranteed to get the hat. After 15 more you get the eyewear. After another 15 you get the outfit. That way you keep the RNG while providing an anti-frustration measure.
Though the thing that I find more irking about them is that the Soul-Shield packs don't sell for as much as the individual shields put together. The ones in the Jiangshi Stalker wheel give you 1 copper no matter if they give you 3, 5 or 8 pieces. And each piece individually sells for 1 copper, too. That's a bit odd. You have to spend a lot of time confirmating that, yes, you want to salvage/sell those shields. QoL could use an upgrade there.

In general you can expect the same type of loot from most wheels of fate and they include: A 3/5 or 8 piece soul shield set, a dobok or a matching hat & adornment to go with the dobok.
Edit: Having played Blade & Soul NA – Alpha, you can also obtain accessories such as earring from some wheels of fate.
