give accessories bonus when attached ( for example goggle increase range size for gun , angelic wing give you movement speed increase , canteen give 1 extra health pill ..etc , I am sure knights will be happy to pay for these accessories to boost their combat stat ). also armors, shields, weapons , trinkets and accessories will have durability bar that when it's broken , it need to be repaired by some artifact found in lockboxes?

every 7 boxes opened will give one chance to re-roll ( exp : you open 7th lockbox and find a cool side blade , then there will be 2 buttons to choose , 1 is "accept item " the other one will be "roll again"

And so begins the power grind

And so begins the power grind system prevalent in many other cashshop games.... and making them degrade is the extra kick in the nuts. Theres a good reason costume items never gave players bonus stats, and the sheer number of accessories you can attach would unbalance this in an instant.

I don't think there should be

I don't think there should be stat bonuses, however I think it would be cool to have visual effects in game. Maybe the glasses make the backround in any level into that of a nice fireplace living room :D Or maybe the goggles would turn all of the snipes neon green

lower the cost of keys to 100-150CE.. would open 50-100 lunch boxes upfront
but 750CE is just to much

Making keys ridiculously

Making keys ridiculously doesn't solve the problem either, it simply trading one set of problem for another.

Drop key costs to 400 - 500

Drop key costs to 400 - 500 people would buy more and it really doesnt off-set the balance of the items.

100 Mist

Make the cost of opening a lockbox 100 energy, so you can get an accessory for no significant loss as long as you're willing to sacrifice a day's worth of dungeon runs.

i say drop the price

You know, i havent actually caught you being positive about something "starlinvf". The idea of dropping the price is good, 750ce is way over. but dropping it to 100-200 is too low. i say it should be around 400-500ce. 750ce is just too much.
