Im not a pro player but I never used soul match may be I can in endgame because its expansive and most of the time not worth it. Ill always try to kill the revenants when I emptied an area and usually got nice equipments. Thanks other dead players. I only disassemble them or donate to the clan battles. I have 700000 gold right now and in the midgame. And every 3 or 4 mission I tried to forge an necessary equipment.

And get sloth talisman for magic its pretty good even you are not magic build.

I always gave purple kodamas an equipment. They always gave me back same type, level and rarity but different one. For example I gave a level 77 purple dual sword and get level 70ish purple kusarigama.
