Hard Mode Helmet drop rates
Just curious what others have experienced here- I've killed oryx on hard 15 times (5x on 3 characters ) and I've gotten 0 hard mode helmets so far- are others in this situation too or am I just very unlucky?
Edit: updated my completion count for the helpful member of the community below.
Edit 2: Sounds like the conventional wisdom (based on loot tables) is that the drop rate for HM helms is 1/15. Some very lucky souls below are at 1/6 or even 1/5 though- nice!
Edit 3: after three more clears this week ( 18 total now) I just had two HM helms drop- up to a 1/9 rate now for me.

To follow up- ran HM 3x this week ( for 18 total clears now) and got 2 HM helms this time out- for a 1/9 drop rate overall. Not sure if once you get over 15 clears the drop rates go up for the helms, or if this is just how it played out for me and a few others below.

Two Hunter helmets. 312 and 314.
-
Got my first one this week on my 13th completion. Only 313 but what can ya do. Completed raid twice more after that with no helmets, so I'm at 1 outta 15.
-
Got 3 so far. Have completed it every week since it launched
-
I've never seen a helmet in KF.. But i have beaten him only 16 times :) what ever
-
I deleted my hunter this week to run it a second time and got a helmet my hunter was a forever 29 and never really got much for drops
-
Forever 29
-
Back to back helmet drops. 318 and 314 both for a titan
-
Seems like 15 comes up a lot.
-
0 for 15 as well

Edited by Dadiola: 11/30/2015 7:22:56 PM2 out of 18...won a crapload of primary though...enough to get last word to 319, hawkmoon to 318, tom to 315 and a bunch of others over 310

Just recently got my second 320 helm from hard mode the other day with about 10-15 completions. I know the helms are probably the most rare but damn those primaries are just not dropping for me.

Same. Can't get a helm on any of my characters.
-
Edited by Fightin Frog: 11/30/2015 7:11:23 PMGot one on my second hard completion, 318 light too. I guess I'm lucky.
-
I've gotten three or four helmets. I can't get primary weapons though.
-
On my warlock I got both I ran it every week since hard came out same with norm got both last week. Titan 1 week behind for both still has not gotten either.
-
26 raid completions between normal and hard mode on 3 characters, 1 helmet. I quit raiding recently, didn't feel like the drops were worth the time, especially on hard mode with randoms.
-
It varies with experience some say
-
1 helmet on my 15th clear. Seems like I'm normal!
-
3 RepliesMy raid team killed Oryx on normal eight times before anyone got the helmet. That's 48 drops without accounting for Moldering Shards. With shards, it's probably more like 70. If the drop chance on normal is only one in 70, why would hard be any different?
-
1 ReplyFirst time through HM, I got the harrowed warlock helm, at 320...I haven't even gotten the normal mode helm yet o.O
-
Edited by GiiirthQuake: 11/30/2015 6:38:15 PMI just got a HM helm (@ 320 light too) this week. I am not sure how many HM completions it took, but it is probably the most uncommon drop out of all the gear.
-
1 ReplyI read way back weeks ago somewhere deep in a forum somebody talking about the raid helmet having better drop chances if you were the leader of the raid party. I obviously highly doubted the validity, however 95% of the time since then I have been the leader(mainly because I form random teams) and now I also have a harrowed helmet for each character
-
I have gotten 4 all in the last two weeks. I did not even get a normal helmet until then.
