To answer a few of your questions:

Farming Skeletons Tomb used to be where you got snakeskin to craft the snakeskin armor, but with a recent patch, its now farmed in Relic Ruins due to a rebalancing of many of the bosses.

You can't farm armor drops, only the craftables that you use to make that armor. If you want snakeskin, farm Relic Ruins.

Due to the same patch the rebalanced the maps, crafting 2 and 3 star armor is worth doing for higher level armors, because the gold and material costs, as well as the time to craft, were massively reduced. I haven't done the math to figure it out 100% yet, but its something like 1 star matching element from 15-30, 2 star matching from 30-55, 3 star matching from 55-70(99) and fusion armor for 70+.
