so in short, first 3 tiers are the only confusing ones
tier 1: level 15 mobs max
tier 2: level 20 mobs max
tier 3: level 25 mobs max
All others are just simply the level requirement + 25
so the max level of mobs on a level 30 map is 55
as to why you're not getting drops, the answer is usually that you're too high level for the map, if you're a higher level than the max level mobs, drop rates are significantly reduced.
i'm guessing you're attempting this with your level 71 samurai so this tallies up.
Just adding one more thing to this information:
This level 20 map has level 70 monster levels completion:
Angelic rigid beach map
Level Req: 20
Use Item to Receive Effect
+129% Warm Light Effectiveness
Quantity: 1
+39% Level Up
+25 Level CapLevel 20 map with normal +25 = 45 monster level, now add in the +25 Level Cap = 70.
The size of the maze in this map is way smaller and faster to complete than a normal catacomb level 25+ ... I have been completing this map 3 times already and in the hopes of finding an emblem with a Well and also completing earlier objectives like Pinch and Treasure Pest from level 42 to currently 57. I will use this one for another mule.
Here are some lower level ones with some EPs that come in handy, again, the maze size is specific to the tier of the map:
Angelic patched magteau map (norm level 15, +18 Level cap = 33)
Use Item to Receive Effect
+2 Evil Presences+174% Warm Light Effectiveness
Quantity: 3
+18 Level CapAngelic rawhide arctic map (norm level 20, +24 Level Cap = 44)
Use Item to Receive Effect
+3 Evil Presences+178% Warm Light Effectiveness
Quantity: 3
+24 Level CapGodly tanned forest map (norm level 25, +25 Level Cap = 50)

+9 Warm Lights
+2 Evil Presences - Pity not more EPs
+175% Warm Light Effectiveness
+18% Experience Gained

+25 Level Cap+8% Stealth
Finding one like this is quite nice:

+25 Level CapSorry for "The Wall"
