Emblems: Random Heroics vs ICC Farming

[valkry]

Frostmourne (high pop) was laggy for the first 12 hours after patch release but since then it's fine so Blizard is probably slowly getting everyone fixed. For those who may hate me for having a currently stable server, in BC we had 4 months of almost un-raidable lag and guild GMs actually petitioned blizzard to wipe the trash from the raids so we could actually attempt bosses during the small windows of laglessness.

Update on the hilts. Found my second one on a gargoyle in PoS. No bosses down. Going to keep trying H Trash in FoS with bosses down.

PoS is the place to farm hilts, much better than FoS. The little tiny skeletons that you AoE in PoS with the necromancer dude all can drop epics/hilts.

I've farmed 5 hilts so far; like 4 of them the first day before the drop rate got nerfed, sold them each for 5K as I was guess (wrong) that the server would soon get flooded with them. My last hilt after the nerf dropped after about 2 hours of farming and I sold it immediately for 10K. This is way in excess gold per hour so far of what I can earn doing 5x dailies.

Yes, farming Hilts in PoS for cash is insane. They move at 10k no questions asked on my server.

Have any 5 boxers gotten hilts for all their guys yet?

[Mosg2]

Yeah, I finished my 5 hilts on Sunday. The damage is retarded.

With my DK+Ret group I can kill Ick/Krick and Garfrost in regular PoS 5 times per hour with a couple minutes leftover at the end. This comes out 10 emblems an hour...

Found the answer sorry

Saturday night the lag on Kil'Jaeden got pretty terrible, but I was still able to down bosses. it just made doing anything other than instance farming a 5 minute CD >.<

I still think it's amusing I get sub 100ms to Kil'Jaden (PST located in LA) and I never got below 150ms to Madoran (CST located in Dallas) with me being in Memphis.

For the geographically challanged, Dallas is closer to Memphis than Memphis is to LA.

I get 250 ping to servers in Sydney, Australia, from <100 miles north of Sydney.
I also get 300 ping to American servers.

Go figure.
