Skill force magatama is not craftable.

You will have to obtain it through farming. The wiki should have some information on this, if I'm not mistaken. If not, check the threads in general discussion.

I know that Skill force maga is not craftable and yeah but I guess it's also the lack of AoE bow brings with it

I have been following this guide, and it has been very helpful so far.

However, I'm hitting a block in the Gedoumaru - Yakumo portion. I'm currently level 32, and I find Gedou Hell to be extremely inefficient. I can't even finish Yakumo Normal because Ahriman just fries me. The next highest thing I can complete on a regular basis is Gedou Hard.

My main weapon is the Odachi (currently using a +50 white lvl 15 one), but I have a +40 white lvl 32 Sword for Yakumo. I've invested my SP into Power only, and my Attack is around 1.7k. My Magamantas are Odachi affinity, Odachi affinity, Odachi skill power and +200 atk.

I appreciate any advice, thanks!

Eh, I was farming Yakumo with my Wind Tachi fairly easily at around your level, usually killing all the boss in 2-3 skills. For Ahriman just stay just outside his lighting circle and void burst range, wait for him to use a skill, then go unleash hell. You have enough time to use 3 skills if you're daring enough. Get too far and it becomes impossible to dodge those distant lighting strikes but at mid range only 1 skill, that tracking lighting worm thing, can hit you.

Edit: I still have my +40 Wind Tachi with Sacred Strike VII, Flying Lightning Strike V, and Void Slash IV. From Izumo until I got to Kaga, it was my favorite weapon of choice. Sadly I had to replace it with my +100 Yasha Tachi and +70 Flame Oshikiri Tachi due to performance issues.

The gear seems fine, except, what skills do you have on your weapons? That's normally a key factor. One other important thing I never mentioned was player skill (knowing how to mob correctly)

Try a few things, and figure out what mob size works best for you. Then, analyse the room, and figure out how to create mobs around that size.

On the sword I have Crimson Sword V, Lunge Step V, and Grim Strike IV. All are untrained though, since I don't use the Sword that much.

I also have a +50 lvl 35 white Odachi (but obviously can't use it yet). It has Avidya IV, Fierce Slash IV and Grim Strike III.

The problem I'm having is that I can't one-shot/one-combo things, and that leads to a lot of kiting. This makes the run really slow, drains a lot of MP pots, and HP pots if I get hit.

I dont know how quickly this works, but I originally did the original story up until byakko. Then did a grind in the byakko/gedou area until 30 and did Shinoda Forest until 45. Currently at 48 just doing the main story.

If that's the case, go back to gedou for sure. Once you can start one combo-ing, come back.
