You have to wait for Pure Black in order to do an efficient Gecko Hunt, especially for the Pure stones, since the Drop Rates are directly affected by it.

The 3-1 stage is very confusing, here's a walkthrough that I think can help you: http://demonssouls.wikidot.com/walk3-1
Also, you don't need a better armor than that for starters, but let me ask you, can you roll efficiently with it? Seems to me that with such heavy armour, you're impended to do good, fast rolls.
Plus, you should be looking out for both the Dragon Long Sword in 2-2 and Crescent Falchion in 4-1, those are the best swords until you can get your hands on beasts like the Meat Cleaver or BlueBlood Sword
