As people do boss runs for money and tokens sometimes. It is good to have a vast amount of things to choose with the tokens. but it seems there are hardly anythings to get with them, even with added things it wouldn't take long for them to be bought and sold.So I think this is a good idea.
A prize wheel for each individual boss. the prize wheel would have different amounts of things for different tiers.You would be able to access it by trading tokens (10 for T1, 20 for T2 and 30 for T3) for a special key.Here are my thoughts.Each wheel would have a boss special set and a shadow lair special set.

Its not appropriate

PeopIe with eIevator passes wiII start running snarbo runs in mass. They can easiIy finish over 10 runs in an hour. And, just supposing, they win 400 ce each time, thats 4k ce by doing tier 1... http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lx5lqyG19e1qaa7gwo1_400.jpg

That just ruins the fun.
The mirror Iockbox and the iron Iockbox are pretty much good enugh. and if this was added, they wouId have Iesser vaIue (imo)

And 5* weapons in spin the wheeI? that just makes the game so much easier.

Im sorry, -1

Sorry but a -1 from me too.

Sorry but a -1 from me too. This is just making it easier for people who don't pay to play to never need to pay for anything and than it becomes unfair. And I could do a million snarbo runs if that came in and I'd be the richest person in all the land. But, that ruins all the fun and effort. so no.

I'm sad that you don't like it at first. I'd just like to state I forgot to add the chances of getting the rewards.

@robodoom

No matter what the chance, even if there is 0.1% chance of it coming, a noob might hit it rich and get to tier 3 Iockdown with onIy a 5* weapon and troII in Iockdown. Thats one probIem.
Then the noob might aIso Iose the fun of earning his 5* wep instead of just winning it off a wheeI.

"Roll out"

See this comment again.

Snarbolax is a T1 boss, designed to be the middle point between T1 and T2 in terms of difficulty. Keep this in mind.

"You can trade in its boss tokens for a spin"
Nurp.

"Rewards, derp, derp, derp; (0*-5*)"
The highest star rank item available through this would be 2*; no higher, ever.

CE will never be obtained through the Clockworks. A full T1 run should never have a higher payout than Firestorm Citadel, which is currently 7kCr for the mission; this was originally 12kCr but it was cut down. Also, you already get money from the boss via drops and the boxes at the end of each floor.

"Snarbolax's Rage(Sword,5*)(uber rare)
Snarbolax's Wrath (Armour,5*)(uber rare)
Snarbolax's Fiery(Helmet,5*)(uber rare)
Snarbolax's Defence(Shield,5*)(uber rare)"

Only greedy fodder would request a T1 boss give T3 equipment.

Then again, the same fodder would want inappropriate rewards; the token system already rewards players for doing the runs while giving them equipment appropriate for its difficulty. Snarbolax gives 2* pierce weapons, Jelly King gives the 3* Jelly set and a couple weapons, Roarmulus gives gremlin guns and the Quicksilver set to resist shock, Vanaduke gives the Ancient Plate set and a couple suiting items. This wheel system more than doubles the existing rewards, resulting in massive inflation, resulting in the economy being slaughtered at the benefit of a few selfish players and expense of everyone else. You may as well ask for free Shadow Lair equipment, which is intentionally only available through completing a Shadow Lair; it is not restricted this way to spite you, it is to keep it as rare as it should be.

Effort: 3/10
Creativity: 0/10
Detail: 5/10
Mechanical applicability: -10/10
Profits Three Rings: -10/10

I take these criticisms and I'll work up another idea. This one though will be heading to the graveyard.
