It's tedious and boring, but it fills the gaps between epic boss fights and arenas. I have 3,500 stone crystals that could make 1,150 Basic Earth Armor, and 1,800 water crystals to make 600 Basic Water Armor if that tells you anything... and I'm not a hard-core player!
I run Epic because it's a 95% drop rate of leather. I did run Honor for awhile, but when I tracked it in my spreadsheet, it was about 75% drop rate. Even lower (50% or below) on Valor, Mighty, and Normal. I don't like to waste time. As death said, my armor only gets hit for 1-3 on Epic, so 1 knight can go 25-30 runs or so, then go to the next knight, etc.
And yes, I play now and then on my daughter's android and I don't like that they haven't updated the #mats in the armorsmith.
