ALERT TO EVERYONE GRINDING FOR TREASURE!

Peeps are right, 1 run of 18-3 got me 10 stones... in six different stacks. I grabbed 1 on a pad, then fought the final fight and got 9 split into 5 uneven stacks. This leads me to believe that the number of enemies in the "boss" encounter matters more than the actual difficulty of the fight...

So with that said, if 18-3 is giving you grief, try 17-4 or 17-2.

17-4 has two INT and no phys, so you could make a team w/o STR and extra PHYS to compensate and try for that (Good for me, I got epic phys chars.).

17-2 has only 3 STR enemies, so it'd be cheese to beat with a solid AGL team.

I'm out of STAM, or else I'd test this theory. FELLOW FIGHTERS, VENTURE FORTH! Return with data, and we'll update the Wiki with backup grind locations, because I don't think I can consistantly win 18-3 without burning Ghost ushers/King Yemmas. On z-hard, 4 of them launched super attacks against me, with the 5th dead before he could attack.
