after playing the game ample no. Of times the only advice from my side-- Always try to play stage...
I'm not sure about playing dark stage but... maybe useful.
When I'm using non-dark unique sets or weapons like lightning sword, dark stage always give me minus (-) 20% or decrease in attack power so it's annoying for me.
I mainly skip it and search for stages with 10% or 30% increase attack or the stage which have the same attribute with your sword (nanoo recommends).
Maybe you're right about dark stones cause I'm getting a little bit more of that stones in dark stages than other stages. And now I'm using dark set, I always choose that stage over others π
