Statted Equipment Drops

TL;DR

Monsters can drop weapons and armor with random bonus stats. Every statted item has a primary prefix and a chance for a secondary bonus. Weapons drop more often than armor (65% vs 35%). Weapons have 8 possible prefixes with color-coded names, while armor has 4. Stronger monsters drop better gear with higher stat rolls.

How Statted Drops Work

When you kill a monster, the game rolls several checks to decide what drops:

Does anything drop? — based on the server's drop rate (Heldenian winners get better odds)
Gold or item? — you might get a gold pile instead of an item
Potion or equipment? — common drops are potions, rare drops are statted gear
Weapon or armor? — 65% chance for a weapon, 35% for armor
Which piece? — depends on the monster's tier (see tables below)
What stats? — primary and secondary bonuses are rolled randomly

Heldenian Winners: If your faction won the last Heldenian event, you get a boosted drop rate for statted equipment. One more reason to fight for your side!

Monster Tiers

Monsters are grouped into 10 tiers that determine which equipment they can drop and the maximum stat values they can roll. Higher tiers unlock better gear and higher bonuses.

Tier	Monsters	Stat Limits
1	Slime, Giant Ant, Amphis, Rabbit, Cat	Reduced max values
2	Skeleton, Orc, Scorpion, Zombie	Reduced max values
3	Stone Golem, Clay Golem	Mana/Crit capped at 2
4	Hellbound, Rudolph, Giant Crayfish	No restrictions
5	Cyclops, Troll, Beholder, Cannibal Plant, Dire Boar	No restrictions
6	Ogre, WereWolf, Stalker, Dark Elf, Ice Golem, Minotaurs	No restrictions
7	Liche, Frost, Nizie	No restrictions
8	Demon, Unicorn, Hellclaw, Tigerworm, Gargoyle, Barlog, Centaurus	No restrictions
9	Mountain Giant, Master Mage Orc	No restrictions
10	Ettin, Giant Lizard	No restrictions

Weapon Drops

Weapons make up 65% of all statted equipment drops. Each weapon gets a color-coded primary prefix and a 30% chance for a secondary bonus.

Weapon Primary Prefixes (Always Present)

Every statted weapon gets one primary prefix that defines its main bonus. The prefix also determines the weapon's name color in-game, making it easy to spot what you've found at a glance.

Prefix	Drop Chance	What It Does	Value Range
Agile	20%	Increases agility bonus	Base value
Righteous	20%	Adds holy damage	Base value
Poison	16%	Applies poison damage on hit	20 – 35
Sharp	16%	Increases sharpness bonus	Base value
Critical	15%	Guaranteed critical value of 5	Fixed 5
Strong	7%	Raw damage boost	14 – 49
Light	3%	Extends melee attack range by +1	16 – 28
Ancient	3%	Ancient power bonus	Base value

Spot the color: When a statted weapon drops, its name appears in color. A green weapon is Light (range +1), orange is Critical, purple is Righteous, and so on. Learn the colors to quickly identify valuable drops!

Light and Ancient are rare: Only 3% each. A Light weapon with +1 melee range is one of the most sought-after drops in the game. Ancient weapons are equally rare and highly prized.

Weapon Secondary Bonuses (30% Chance)

After the primary prefix, there's a 30% chance the weapon also rolls a secondary bonus. Weapons have different secondary options than armor.

Bonus	Drop Chance	What It Does	Value
Hit Probability	50%	Increases your accuracy	21 – 49
Consecutive Attack	35%	Extra attack damage per consecutive hit	1 – 7
Experience Bonus	10%	Gain extra EXP per kill	Fixed +20
Gold Bonus	5%	Earn extra gold per kill	Fixed +50

Low-tier cap on Consecutive Attack: Weapons dropped by weak monsters (tier 1-5) have Consecutive Attack capped at 5 instead of the full 7. Hunt stronger monsters for the best rolls.

Best weapon combo: A Light weapon with Hit Probability secondary is the dream — extended range plus high accuracy. That's a 3% prefix chance times 30% secondary chance times 50% for Hit Prob = roughly 0.45% per statted weapon drop.

Wands (Magic Weapons)

Wands are a special category of weapon drops. They always receive the "Special" prefix and follow slightly different rules:

Always appear with an orange item color
Mana Save value ranges from 7 to 49
40% chance for a secondary bonus (higher than the normal 30%)
Same secondary bonus table as regular weapons (Hit Prob, Consecutive Attack, EXP, Gold)
Make up 20% of weapon drops (regular weapons are 80%)

Mages take note: Wands with high Mana Save values are incredibly valuable for magic users. A Special wand with 40+ Mana Save and a secondary bonus is endgame gear for any mage build.

Which Weapons Drop Where

The specific weapon that drops depends on the monster's tier. Higher-tier monsters unlock stronger weapons.

Tier	Possible Weapon Drops
1	Dagger, Short Sword, Light Axe
2	Main Gauche, Gradius, Sexon Axe, Tomahawk, Sabre, Esterk
3	Long Sword, Double Axe, Sabre, Esterk
4	Sabre, Scimitar, Falchion, Esterk, Rapier
5	Esterk, Rapier, War Axe
6	Great Sword, Flameberge, Claymore, Esterk, Rapier, Composite Bow
7	Great Sword, Flameberge, Esterk, Rapier
8	Great Sword, Flameberge, Battle Axe, Esterk, Rapier, Flameberge+1, Giant Sword, Black Shadow Sword
9	Sabre, Scimitar, Falchion, Esterk, Rapier, Hammer
10	Claymore, Esterk, Rapier, Hammer, Battle Hammer, Black Shadow Sword

Wand Drops by Tier

Tier	Wand Type
2-3	Magic Wand (basic)
4-6	Magic Wand (Mana Save 10)
7-8	Magic Wand (Mana Save 20)

No wands from tier 1, 9, or 10: The weakest and strongest monsters don't drop wands. For the best wands, target tier 7-8 monsters.

Best weapon farming targets: Tier 8 monsters (Demon, Barlog, Centaurus, etc.) drop the most powerful weapons including Flameberge+1, Giant Sword, and Black Shadow Sword. Tier 10 (Ettin, Giant Lizard) are the only source of statted Battle Hammers.

Armor Drops

Armor makes up 35% of all statted equipment drops. Each armor piece gets a primary prefix and a 30% chance for a secondary bonus.

Armor Primary Prefixes (Always Present)

Every statted armor gets one primary prefix that defines its main bonus. This is what you see in the item name.

Prefix	Drop Chance	What It Does	Value Range
Strong	60%	Increases item quality and defense contribution	14 – 49
Light	30%	Extends your melee attack range by +1	16 – 28
Mana Converting	5.5%	Boosts mana transmutation efficiency	1 – 3
Crit Increase	4.5%	Increases charge critical chance	1 – 3

Higher values are rarer: Low values are much more common than high values. For example, a Strong armor with value 42+ has only about a 3.5% chance of rolling. Most Strong armor will land in the 14-27 range.

Low-tier monster caps: Weak monsters (tier 1-2) cap Strong at 49 and Light at 28. Mana Converting and Crit Increase are capped at 2 for tier 1-3 monsters. Hunt stronger monsters for the best rolls!

Armor Secondary Bonuses (30% Chance)

After the primary prefix is set, there's a 30% chance the armor also rolls a secondary bonus. This is what separates good armor from great armor.

Bonus	Drop Chance	What It Does	Value Range
Poison Resist (PR)	30%	Increases poison resistance	21 – 49
Stamina Points (SP)	15%	Increases your max SP	7 – 49
Hit Points (HP)	10%	Increases your max HP	7 – 49
Mana Points (MP)	10%	Increases your max MP	7 – 49
Magic Resist (MR)	10%	Reduces magic damage taken	21 – 49
Defense Rating (DR)	10%	Increases your defense ratio	21 – 49
Phys. Absorb (PA)	1%	Flat physical damage absorption	9 – 21
Magic Absorb (MA)	1%	Flat magic damage absorption	9 – 21

The holy grail: Armor with PA or MA as secondary bonus is incredibly rare — only 1% of the 30% that get a secondary, meaning roughly 0.3% per statted armor drop. If you find one, hold on to it!

Cape exception: Capes cannot roll PA or MA as secondary bonuses. Their secondary probabilities are redistributed among the other six stats.

Shield note: Shields have a slightly narrower value range for secondary bonuses, keeping them balanced since they already offer strong base defense.

Which Armor Drops Where

The specific armor piece that drops depends on the monster's tier. Higher-tier monsters unlock stronger armor in the drop pool.

Tier	Possible Armor Drops
1-2	Wood Shield, Targe Shield
3	Targe Shield
4	Hauberk, Chain Hose, Blonde Shield
5	Leather Armor, Hauberk, Chain Hose, Iron Shield, Helm, Full Helm
6	Hauberk, Chain Hose, Chain Mail, Plate Mail, Lagi Shield, Horned Helm, Wings Helm, Wizard Cap, Wizard Hat
7	Scale Mail, Plate Mail, Chain Mail, Knight Shield, Tower Shield, Helm, Full Helm
8	Cape

No armor from tier 9-10: Mountain Giant, Master Mage Orc, Ettin, and Giant Lizard only drop statted weapons — no armor. For the best statted armor, focus on tier 6-8 monsters.

Best armor farming targets: Tier 6 monsters (Ogre, WereWolf, Dark Elf, etc.) offer the best variety of armor drops with no stat restrictions. Tier 8 monsters are the only source of statted Capes. Tier 7 is your best bet for elite shields (Knight Shield, Tower Shield).

Stat Caps

You can stack bonuses from multiple equipment pieces, but some stats have hard caps that can't be exceeded no matter how much gear you equip:

Stat	Max	Notes
Physical Absorb (PA)	50	Total across all equipped items
Magic Absorb (MA)	50	Total across all equipped items
Mana Converting	13	From Mana Converting prefix
Charge Critical	20	From Crit Increase prefix

Dropped vs Manufactured

There are two ways to get statted armor: monster drops and player crafting. Here's how they compare:

Property	Monster Drops	Manufactured
How you get it	Random drop from killing monsters	Crafted by players with the Manufacturing skill
Stats	Completely random (primary + optional secondary)	Determined during crafting
Defense bonus	Base defense only	Base + bonus from crafting quality
Rarity	Depends on drop rates and luck	Depends on materials and skill level
