- What is this item?
Battered hilt is a unique quest item introduced in the ICC patch, it started out as a pretty common drop but Blizzard wasn't late to reduce the drop rate to "Very Low" or "Extremely Low". Turning in this quest will grant you the achivement The Sword in the Skull and a badass looking sword/mace for transmogrification or for vanity uses.
- Why should I farm it?
Why you might ask, because you're a collector, or an achievement hunter, or a gold greedy goblin. This item is farmed for many reasons, but the main reason is because it will bring you 15-20,000 gold on most high/med populated servers (More/less, it's all about the server and demand).
- How do I get it?
You get this unique item in the three ICC dungeons, Pit of Saron, Halls of Reflection and the Forge of Souls.
- Where do you recommend me to farm it?
I recommend you to farm the hilt in Pit of Saron as there's much easier trash and there's actually more of it, which will make you yield more gph in the end (Less time running out resetting). Each mob have a small chance to drop the hilt, not just bosses but every trash mob. This will let you run in, clear everything to the first two bosses, run out, reset and repeat.
- Can I use a bot to farm it?
Yes, you can. If you got Honorbuddy for example you can use the Pit of Saron - Endless farm profile to farm the hilt 24/7 (Google it). There's however some minor bugs (No able to ress yourself) within that profile, more info about that in the thread above.
- Flipp worthy?
Yes! If you ever see one in your auction house for less than 10,000G (Depending on realm), flip it for a easy 5-10,000G profit!
