500 Helwyr kills in post-orb update, and I'm thinking it might be a good idea to
examine the drop log now and every 500 kills hereafter! > ) So let's take a look:

Drop Log
Kills done after the update: 500
Wands dropped: 1
Orbs dropped: 1
Crests dropped: 3
Essences dropped: 7
Dormant helms dropped: 1
Dormant bodies dropped: 1
Dormant legs dropped: 1
It took me a while to notice it, but there's actually something pretty intriguing about this: if I was an ironman, I'd be in 7th Heaven right now. Why? Because in only 500 kills (well, less than that tbh, since for the last few kills, nothing special dropped), I would have already gotten everything important from Helwyr: full unrefined anima core of Seren and both the weapons!
On top of that, no duplicates either, which is what ironmen sometimes
suffer from; getting useless duplicates when they needed something else! > )
Other than that, 2 things:
1.
The average drop rate for the bigger drops so far is exactly
1 in 100 (to get any one of them), which sounds about right.
2.
Considering their gp value, it seems pretty absurd that so few dormant armor
pieces were dropped. Especially since I remember getting them much more
frequently in the past. Maybe Jagex has nerfed them at some point?
