Valedroth Dropping Nova

Umm that guy at Helisium I hear drops Nova stuff... some have told me that he drops it at a decent rate while others say its an awful drop rate. Is it more efficient that farming coins if Im just hunting for myself?

[quote=Kazzooey]Velderoth, Victor, and Treglow all drop Helisium/Nova equips. Helisium drops at about a 1% rate white Nova drops at about 1/10th the rate of Helisium (0.1% rate). They do not drop shadow coins and magnus coins are only available through magnus. People who say they have a horrible drop rate are obviously not item-hunters and are too lazy to hunt. 1% is a very good chance and is higher than most other good drops in the game such as EE scrolls being about 0.05% chance, most recipes being at less than 0.5% chance, and ABR Recipe being in the 1/1500 or so of a chance to drop. So 1% is a fantastic and totally hunt-able rate. This is coming from someone who almost ALWAYS hunts for his gear/rare items.[/quote]
o-o are the numbers the same for all three?
Where did you get those numbers?

Killed around 150 now, not a single coin. I guess coins only drop from Magnus and the daily quests.
Got 2 helisium bowman capes and 1 nova pirate cape though
