what's your droprate on hilt?

[Perrigrin]

farming the first mobs in hc, dont it about 10 times and no luck - is that about normal? also, how long do you wait for respawns?

[Mosg2]

I quantify my Hilts as a per/hour basis It took me a little over 5 hours per Hilt.

Pro Tip: The little skeletons in PoS all drop epic loot too. Go farm the first half of it, skipping the drake riders and the stupid monstrosities. I guarantee that's the fastest way to get Hilt drops.

blizzard changed the drop rate with the last server fix (3 days ago) .. it's very very low now.

[Ualaa]

So which is faster...

Farming the heroic for the very very low drop rate hilts.
Or generic farming of whatever, to buy them on the AH?

[jettzypher]

i did nothing but heroics all weekend and never saw one drop. the only one i saw was my frist run through HoR the day after patch went live. they seem to sell pretty cheap on the AH, but theyre sold so fast that ive never even seen one.

Farm gold, in heroic IC.

[Multibocks]

Ive gotten two so far. One before nerf and one after nerf. I need about 10 more =X

[yaki]

Also, fuck nerfs.

I don't know if it's better to farm cash and buy hilts or just to farm the hilts themselves. If you have an enchant you can make a ridiculous amount of gold doing Heroic PoS trash. I guess it depends on what seems like more fun to you

Battered Hilt is the new Baron Rivendare's Mount. Btw, from what someone else posted in another thread, they sold it for 30,000g. So unless you can make 30,000g / ~6 hours, i'd say farming the hilt is faster.
