Re: MaiDenSnow Eve
I can confirm now that the only way to get the really good gear (I'm talking maximum socket clothing and equipment) is to increase the exploration counter as much as feasibly possible before running for the safe house. One way to do this is to run for the final destination at the start as quickly as possible and then doing more exploration of each level until your equipment is close to giving out.
I made it to level 20 of the cathedral at one stage but had to stop since I was out of healing equipment. For my latest run I found a maximum socket bunny suit and jade dagger, the exploration score also affects boss drops too since the really good essences are more likely with a high exploration score.
You probably already know this from the Japanese website, but try and keep the bosses under the 浄化 state just before the killing blow is landed. That way the chances of getting essences from a boss run goes up, on an aborted run I picked up Fire3 from the minotaur while a successful run on Belle gave me earth3. Apart from the headless count, the other bosses can be persuaded to give their high level elemental enchantments with enough exploration and the appropriate status effect on hand.
Status alignment aren't really my cup of tea. I prefer elemental/raw damage to it. On the other hand, I have a paralysis jade blade, and it works stupidly well. So I know why you suggest I should farm for them. (Its also stupid how good a limb-fire is with the right essences attached)
Don't know why though, playing until now, I only get 2 lv1 poison and 1 lv1 paralysis essence in total. Hence, rather than not my cup of tea, its more like I couldn't grind out stun/dark even if my life depends on it. (-> I am just jealous)
