Heliseum & Drops

Do mobs/minibosses keep dropping the capes and shoes?
I can't find any reliable source for this and I certainly don't wanna waste 2 o 3 hours for nothing.

I can't find his post at the moment but MarksmanByran has confirmed they still drop, just at a very very low rate.

Well I found a Heliseum cape a while ago from one of the bosses.
Though it was quite lucky.

I can confirm that they dropped capes and shoes, though as Meta said the rate is rather low.

With a spider familiar I was averaging one per hr or so and I was killing the boss in seconds.

You could have just looked in the drops and finds thread... but yes, they do drop shoes and capes. No belts. Helisium are rare, Nova are RIDICULOUSLY rare. Good luck.

I killed Victor 175 times on 3.2x drop (2x event + 1.6x familiar) and found 3 equips. Which works out to a base rate of around 1 in 200 of getting any drop. If you can stack up to 8x, you'll find a decent number, otherwise it's gonna take a while. All of them were the lowest level 80 stuff.


Chose Victor cause he hasn't got 1hkos or status attacks. Just green balls from the sky.

Finished the Helsium questline on my AB today, killed Velderoth ~40 times.

Got a pair of level 80 Pirate shoes and Warrior shoes.

Did you have anything to boost your drop rate? Familiars or buffs? Just curious because I've been drawing blank except for a heliseum bowman cape which I dropped, haha.

Surprisingly, no. I used my free 3x Drop Coupons to finish the quests (I tend to disconnect a LOT ).

In total I've killed Velderoth around 1000 times on 1.6x drop, about 400 times on 3.2x drop.

I got over 50 helesium equips and a SINGLE nova shoe.



So yes, expect it to take quite a long time to find something - they do still drop however.

Well I know what I'm using my 3x drop coupons for.

Thanks for this reminder. I had no idea what to do with them. Do they stack with CS 2x drop cards?

They should.

Well, we do have a 2x event this weekend, and 2x Drop coupons, and these 3x Drop buffs. Also can count in Familiars.

Dat drop rate.

Familiars would cancel out the 3x drop buffs, and vice versa.

Keep forgetting that......

Thanks.

If you're in a party, how does Maplestory calculate drop rates?

A guildmate was helping me kill Horntail and I used a 3x drop buff while he didn't use anything. Would we still get the 3x drop buff?

It's based on damage done for bosses not named empress iirc. So you would have to outdamage your guildmate in order for the 3x to take effect.

Thanks for the quick reply!

Damage done? Or last hit?
