Are these guys one time only if you manage to kill them? Such as they dont appear anymore after they get killed once?

I was chasing one (in storm map) and managed to get it to a sliver of its health, than the idiot runs off the cliff. When I got back, the CG never appears anymore? I'm trying to find some darkmoons.

Some time ago after some testing I found out that they're exactly: 1+[amount of killed bosses] per Crystal gecko.

Example: kill boss in 2-1 & 2-2. Now go kill crystal gecko in 2-1, he respawns exactly 2 times. After that he won't respawn until you kill boss in 2-3.

Hope that made sense ;)

I believe its one per stage, if you miss it it will not respawn.

EDIT: Nevermind, i stand corrected by Zom.

Man thats lame, I can't believe I lost that gecko because he committed suicide.

I really advise to only attack crystal geckos once you're very confident that you manage to kill it. If you want to be on the safe side, I'd recommend to quietly sneak up on him (thief ring equipped) and use a bow and snipe him preferably with fire arrows, while doing this, after every arrow he should land on his back so he can't escape until he's dead.
If the gecko manages to discover you before you fire at him, quickly run away and hide - the gecko will slowly walk to his original location if there's no threat around.

....2-2 crystal geckos galore! go to the left and make your way down the elevator, go down the path where there is a CG but not to far, beat the two BP's and then get ready to see about 15-20 CG's all in one place, NUKE THEM! lol

Yup, but that's only useful if you're in looking for Hardstone,Clearstone and Greystone. The more "exotic" stone types you have to search in their respective areas like:
Magic(moon) = 3-x
Dark Magic(darkmoon/crescent) = 4-x
Faith&Filth(faint/pulp) = 5-x

Yeah, right now I found where to get the darkmoonstones. 4-2 is like a galore for them. :D

Just wanted to upgrade my crescent falcion, however the uchitsugi or whatever its spelt looks like a better weapon. Only bad thing about it, is that you need to get it to +7 before you can get to crescent of it. However, in the Wiki I only see it go to Crescent +1. Wondering if it goes beyond that.

It can go to +5. +1 is about 1 mana /6 secs, or so says the wiki. +5 is 1/2secs.

Hmm, does just wielding a crescent take up mana?

It doesnt take up mana, it replenishes it. I have not tried having it equiped but not in use to see if the effect works or not, but I know that it will regen mana as long as its in the left or hand hand and being used. It also stacks with the cling ring.

You mean the Fragrant Ring ;)
MP-regen doesn't work if you have the weapon sheathed. Has to be in use.

For giggles you could always make a cresent weapon and a blessed one then duel wield them getting hp and mp regen at the same time ;p! Mp regen in the game is stupid slow though. If you use spells at all my advice is grind up a bunch of souls and buy old spice off the once royal mistress in 3-1.
