Aphrodite Gear Drop Guide | Wizard101

Aphrodite is one nasty plant, but if you can beat this gold skeleton key boss, there are plenty of drops worth having! From energy items to some of the best rings available, Aphrodite's loot is nothing to sneeze at. The Sacred Charge spell is also dropped from this fight.

Aphrodite & the Tendrils

Aphrodite is located in the Graveyard in Darkmoor. You'll need a gold skeleton key to access this boss, and you don't need to fight any other battles to make your way to this one. You will fight four tendrils, which are a random mix of Myth, Life, and Death. You claim your loot from a golden chest at the end of the battle. For more information on this boss's cheats and other drops, check out the guide here.

Aphrodite drops four items for each school. First, one of the best rings available with damage. Second, a critical ring with an energy bonus. Third, an athame with pretty good damage that also offers an energy bonus. And fourth, a staff with a good energy bonus. Quick note: Lots of Aphrodite's items come with jewel slots. Remember that the jewels pictured on these items do not come with them - they are empty and you'll need to unlock them. For more information on jewels, check out a set of FAQ here.

Why They Matter

Over the course of this month, I'll be doing a sort of "Significant Gear Series" that covers the most important sets and items that have defined where wizards farm, how they build their setups, and more. This will be an opportunity to compare stats and discuss structure. We'll cover everything from Waterworks to Darkmoor to some of the more recent sets. In the future, we may go further back.

Aphrodite was released in the second round of Skeleton Key Bosses, and gave wizards a new ring to farm for, with the promise of energy gear if nothing else. Because so many of Aphrodite's items are used by wizards, the only bad drop you can really get is one you already have. Aphrodite is a tough boss, but might seem easy if you've tried Corporal Tenni'syn or the Storm Titan. 

Aphrodite's rings are still one of the best available, if not the best available. While it seems like players have recently been more interested in critical options, damage-focused setups are still the most reliable and consistent strategy. But even if critical is your thing, Aphrodite has a ring for you!
