Yes, this was on my list of suggestions, but I found it too big to be on my list.

Every week, there would be two random missions selected with a time trial challenge (One mission will be a boss mission while the other is random. This doesn't include missions where you interact only, etc.). Here are the following rules for the time trials:

-You will be penalized with 30+ seconds for each time you skip a monster. As you skip more monsters, the number of seconds will increase and will be added to your time. (This is similar to the old revive system)
-You will be penalized with 30+ seconds for each time you use your ER.
-You will have to run on Advanced mode while your party is locked. (Solo mode)
-The players who have the top 5 times for the week will NOT be able to compete in the weekly time trials for 5 - 10 weeks.

Places and prizes:

1st place: 5k crs + A clockworks prize box + A UV ticket + Gold Gear trophy
2nd place: 4k crs + 6 Sparks of Life + Silver Gear Trophy
3rd place: 3k crs + 5 Sparks of Life + Bronze Gear Trophy
4th place: 2k crs + 4 Sparks of Life
5th place: 1k crs

A clockworks prize box has a chance to contain the following:

67% for the following:

- Clockworks Badge
- 3 of each pet food star(s)
- An artifact for reaching first place in a time trial. (You will only receive this once)
- A 2x2 clock display with roman numeric.

15% for the following:

-Clockworks Gear suit (Costume)
A knight has once wore this suit and fell off an edge in the clockworks. The result was that gears were attached to this suit.
-Clockworks Gear helm (Costume)
A knight has once wore this helm and ran quickly through the clockworks. The result was that gears fell to his helm.
-Gear propeller (Accessory)
-Gear crest (Accessory)
-Gear confetti (Usable)
-Clock crest (Accessory)

10% for the following:

-Trinket slot upgrade
-Weapon slot upgrade
-Heat amp (2 days)
-Timer

5% for the following:

-A clock that could be placed on the wall (Functions with real time) (2x1 - BxH)
-A clock that could be placed on the floor (Functions with real time) (2x1 - BxH)
-Prismatic Toupee

2% or less for the following:

- Twinkle Aura
- 500 Fire Crystals (Depends what rank you are. If you're a Vanguard, you'll receive 500 Radiant Fire Crystals. However, if you're a Defender Elite, you'll get 500 shining fire crystals)
- 30 Sparks of Life
- A random evo-catalyst

1% chance for the following:

-Shadow Key
-Silver Key + Lockbox
-A random starter pet
-Permanent Super Brawl Crown

THE FOLLOWING ITEMS WILL BE UNBOUND: Trinket slot upgrade, Weapon slot upgrade, Evo catalyst.
Also, you will get all the items with a 100% chance of getting AND a possible chance of getting one of the items that aren't a 100% chance. So it's possible that you would only get the items with a 100% chance.

nope.

Our guild often has Time Trails and we can fly through levels in under a minute.
I believe we did (and won!) JK Elite Run in under 4 minutes.

Tactic: Forgot normal monsters, skip everything, run towards the elevator. You need to change the Rules from Finishing quickly to Finishing the ENTIRE level and destroying each enemy in the quickest time.

and one more thing
100% of the following +
33% +
20% +
10% +
2% +
.1% =
165.1%
You do know with 100% of getting the first tier prizes means there is no way of getting anything else?

EDIT: I would like to support this with +1 but you need to clarify on the rules and the Clockwork Prize Box winnings.

gods ain't gonna help you, son.

not if you roll once every possibility. take it like a wheel: on the first one is all win, and on the last one there is only a thousand-th (not really sure about this) of the wheel to make you win. every wheel is spinned.
or, there are 2 wheels, one that makes you win, and one which has a 65,1% chance to win with the other prizes.
EDIT: ok, it's just one wheel now.

@Canine-Vladmir, @Thunder-The-Bright

Thunder was right about the wheels, but I changed the percentages of getting something from the clockworks prize box. They all should add up to 100%.

I'd rather it be once a day, not twice a week.
