Battered hilt Farm

I was thinking of farming the battered hilt. I know people may say its a waste of time but thought i ask. I love to solo stuff for raw gold but the battered hilt i was thinking of farming to do the quest chain without paying for it and fighting other people for a roll( lost today with a 23 when the person who won got a 97) I have a bm hunter, prot war, prot pali and a blood/frost dk. Not sure if its worth or possible but thought i ask. Also down to learn anything thats decent raw gold farming that isnt from professions. Not trying to become rich just like soloing stuff and in cata im so excited

It gives a 251 weapon, so it has some value.

Whenever the pre-patch event launches that event will also give 251 items (I presume including a weapon but I confess I haven’t actually looked that up).

I think the issue in farming the hilt is that the drop rate is very low (I’ve seen 4-5 over what feels like 1,000 runs but is probably half that, and won 0), and since the instance isn’t soloable, your odds of winning are still only 20% per drop.

Do the daily on all 4 toons, that’s like 500g a day and you can buy one in 10-14 days even if you do nothing else.

Edit - though at this stage in Wrath, personally I wouldn’t go too nuts. You can get some upgrades in the pre-patch event, and if memory serves the starter Cata zones give 272 greens.

Depending on gear the trash isn’t bad. I really should try some of the bosses.

Go in, clear trash, leave. You’d be better off doing almost anything else to get gold to buy one, but it is able to be done.

See i remember the prepatch from when retail did it and i do recall weapons
