The skeleton adds in the groups of seven haven't dropped the hilts since it was "fixed" back in 2009. They nerfed that right quick since people were farming these back then, too. The new badge catch up mechanics will probably make these fairly inexpensive.
Just started attempting this on a prot warrior. Once the initial dialog has gone out you become saved to the instance without the ability to reset and start over.
Our guild has plans to run this farm often. We will kill everything without getting saved and then reset until each member of the group has a hilt. Hopefully the RNG gods are kind.
I cannot remember why but I ran the Pit for a while, the 'Battered Hilt' dropped, I put it up on the auction house repeatedly, no one wanted it, kept dropping the price until I gave up, I think I still have it and the 'Haunted Memento' or something like that, the ghost thing that follows you around, never managed to sell that either.
@SCottejaye I've been farming this dungeon alot today. I've had around 400 mobs killed, but still not a single Battered Hilt... Do you know if Blizzard have reduced the dropchance or something? Its def. not worth farming, if I'm NOT just unlucky.. I've cleared the whole dungeon, then just waited for them to respawn.
Go in as mage, pull every skeleton Pack with living bomb and rocket boots - use images, block to get some space and time and than invis when skeletons died due to living bombs -> loot and go out.
This was my plan going into wrath, to farm battered hilts for $$$, but with the ilvl buff to Ulduar gear, Heroic ++ and sidereal essences and the upcoming gamma heroics (?), it may not be as profitable as I thought it would be. Gearing is a lot easier/more options than OG wrath.
could be more efficient to 2 man it with say an ele shaman and a tank so the shammy can off heal. would probably reduce the kill times so much that you could get 2 faster than you would get 1 solo farming. Or just split the gold from 1.
Dual boxed these in OG, any tank + healer ( (prot pally/druid or revenge spec warrior/druid). It's probably faster overall since you can pull more than a single pack/mob at a time and even in boomkin spec you can outheal the damage as well as hurricane the packs.. The debuff from the protodrake/rider combo matters not at all with a healer there.
@scottejaye Im farming this in HC, since I've read multiple places that it only drops in HC. Problem is, that I cannot reset the dung, so the mobs respawn. How exactly am I supposed to do that? When I right-click my portrait and press "reset", it dosn't work :(
i think this sounds great as a solo farm if you have no friends or guildies to play with or say you dont like pugging, but any way you shake it i feel like its likely more than 2x faster to duo, more than 5x faster to 5 man, etc. - and then split the value or rotate the drops. cant imagine you’d instance cap. pretty sure there’s enough trash for 12 min clears.
Wait is this outside of the dungeon or inside I dont remeber these dungeons is it this big inside? Eaither way I cant wait ive got a 5.7k prot palla xD
Does anyone know if we will get a 80 boost this patch or it’s only for cata? Have a level 30 just sitting there looking to use it for gdkp as well as my other 2 characters. Didn’t know if I should just level it up
@@Scottejaye You are doing god's work mate. Didnt even come my mind to even try this. A few days ago I just started to solo Magisters Terace, which was really spicy during launch. Gonna try Pinnacle for the mount after that.
correct that's the case, non elites won't drop it, only the elites, it's like that still in retail from the change in 2009. and only drops in heroic mode.
I still remember Enrique when people would go AF k and random dungeon finder and we would use a hunter to Miss direct some of the mobs inside pita sauron to kill the bad players
I am trying this on my feral (tank) druid in Pit of Saron. Wrathbone Laborer, Gargoyle and Horrors goes down quite easy (have not tested the Dragon yet). Can kill the Necrolyte will some more effort. But I wanted to ask if anyone has found a Line of Sight place (which would have these casters much easier)? I have tried different pillars, the portal structure at the entrance, largers stones (hoping they would not just work as normal environment). but no luck yet
Man I farmed this thing during Cataclysm. Finally dropped and it didn't sell (I'd set the price admittedly too high) for weeks. I then quit the game for a couple of months thinking I'd stashed it in my bank. It was in my mailbox....GM's couldn't help either with items lost in the mail
@@Scottejaye I totally would if I had any, I have less than 2k gold left, with gems and enchants put back for ICC gear. Of my guild, I think 2 people plan on staying for cata.
Solo farm? Sounds alright, but duo farm with a tank and a enha shaman is super efficient, high aoe, interrupts, instant heals, infinite mana, it just can't get better
@@oliver9069you do know that Death's choice has the highest DPS upgrade for prot paladins right? Meaning they should be prioritized for prot paladins over anyone else.
@dennispyxen7873 not sure where you're getting that info but it's not true. It's best on unholy and ret. Only swimming about 120 dps over mark matter at the moment.
I was doing exactly this on my prot paladin in ptr ! saw 1 from the forge of souls when we initially did the quest chain then i farmed 1 more over like 15 runs in pit of saron
If you get a superior or epic quality item drop, that mob will take considerably longer to despawn so dont worry too much about looting before you die unless you need the silver.
The current price of BH makes it not worth the time. With lichbloom at 200g a stack it's much more profitable to farm herbs for the same amount of time.
You do realize you can just dispel the channeled cast during shadow conversion nullifying any damage. Also for anyone that doesn't have a prot spec , holy works just fine. Sacred shield absorbs almost 3k damage each hit. I'd argue holy is better for survivability in this place then protection is. Maybe slower kills though.
@@Auroche i mean i'm killing these things fine on my holy paladin. Sure it's slower but i dont run out of mana, and I never go below half health. The only thing I dont have is an interrupt but it's not needed. I'm saying if you dont have a prot spec then holy can survive just as well with the trash in PoS. This dude doesn't even know you can dispel the channeled cast because he doesn't use proper raid frames that highlight debuffs.
If Blizzard wants to make a bunch of quick cash, then what they need to do is place a shrine to the RNG gods in each capitol city. The only currency that it would accept is WoW Tokens. This would give the toon or the account a time limited buff that increases gold and loot chances. It would be great for something like this.
Literally the worst idea imaginable the RNG would have to be absolutely insane or the buff ridiculous to outweigh the gold of a wow token thus killing the value of gold in the process and thus killing the entire point of what you just said lol
What's the point of a gold farm now? The game's almost over, what's it got about four months We're so before cataclysm comes out and nobody plays anymore. The journey of WOW classic is coming to an end very soon.
it's not even in common in retail, only people getting rich are the bots and fly hacking mages, retail you can do 10 instances an hour, classic is reduced down to 5, won't be that many people getting rich off it. Very very very low drop rate, still highly valued on retail still for xmog. If it's the same drop rate gonna be pretty hard to farm for gold unless you bot it. Nice RNG jackpot item tho

The small skeletons don't drop the hilt. The hilt drops often enaugh just running it normally, it won't be expensive for very long.
Just started attempting this on a prot warrior. Once the initial dialog has gone out you become saved to the instance without the ability to reset and start over.
This right here. you get to clear it once a day and thats it from what it seems
Our guild has plans to run this farm often. We will kill everything without getting saved and then reset until each member of the group has a hilt. Hopefully the RNG gods are kind.
this kinda sucks tho i went to farm it i went in killed the trash tried to reset and said im locked so i cant reset
trash
I cannot remember why but I ran the Pit for a while, the 'Battered Hilt' dropped, I put it up on the auction house repeatedly, no one wanted it, kept dropping the price until I gave up, I think I still have it and the 'Haunted Memento' or something like that, the ghost thing that follows you around, never managed to sell that either.
You might already know but you can cleanse yourself when the necrolytes do the conversion beam and it acts as an interupt
I'm getting saved the second I walk in now and cannot reset after leaving. Is this happening to anyone else?
@SCottejaye I've been farming this dungeon alot today. I've had around 400 mobs killed, but still not a single Battered Hilt... Do you know if Blizzard have reduced the dropchance or something? Its def. not worth farming, if I'm NOT just unlucky.. I've cleared the whole dungeon, then just waited for them to respawn.
Do the anti boosting mechanics still kick in if you take too long to kill the mobs?
I'm so glad that i played protpaladin since classic. So many ways to farm gold. Boosting, solo mountfarms, solo everything.
Go in as mage, pull every skeleton Pack with living bomb and rocket boots - use images, block to get some space and time and than invis when skeletons died due to living bombs -> loot and go out.
Sounds like a plan for sure
The small skeletons don't drop them.
is it possible to do as a DK?
Yes
Dont forget zo use sacred shield for absorb and shadow resistance aura on the casters, scroll of strenght is easy to come by too
This was my plan going into wrath, to farm battered hilts for $$$, but with the ilvl buff to Ulduar gear, Heroic ++ and sidereal essences and the upcoming gamma heroics (?), it may not be as profitable as I thought it would be. Gearing is a lot easier/more options than OG wrath.
Yea 100% mate, i really do think it will be profitable on some servers and not worth the effort on others.
@@ScottejayeI want one to do the quest. A lot of people will buy them for that reason alone
Very true, however things are still very tight knit in the NA servers. Pugs are disgusting in World this phase. Good luck you guys!
I think people will still want it for transmorg and its a cool questline
Can i ask which addon do you use for the nameplates? Thank you!
Neatplates mate
could be more efficient to 2 man it with say an ele shaman and a tank so the shammy can off heal. would probably reduce the kill times so much that you could get 2 faster than you would get 1 solo farming. Or just split the gold from 1.
Question is could a prot war solo this?
Gonna get farmed up server wide super quick, probably good money for a week or two before the servers get saturated
In Warmane these mobs hit you like a truck
We think that UA warrior will be beat for this?
Dual boxed these in OG, any tank + healer ( (prot pally/druid or revenge spec warrior/druid).

5k by us.... full server Oo
Farm on nhc or HC?
i think this sounds great as a solo farm if you have no friends or guildies to play with or say you dont like pugging, but any way you shake it i feel like its likely more than 2x faster to duo, more than 5x faster to 5 man, etc. - and then split the value or rotate the drops. cant imagine you’d instance cap. pretty sure there’s enough trash for 12 min clears.
trash doesnt reset with reset all instances, have to wait the hour or so for it to respawn
Hmmm I'll try as enhance shaman. At least for the caster and 6 skeletons. Interrupt and grounding should make it so he never casts
Let me know how it goes mate that sounds super interesting actually!
Hey. Only heroic?
Wait is this outside of the dungeon or inside I dont remeber these dungeons is it this big inside? Eaither way I cant wait ive got a 5.7k prot palla xD
I got saved when i kill first mob any idea why?
Does anyone know if we will get a 80 boost this patch or it’s only for cata? Have a level 30 just sitting there looking to use it for gdkp as well as my other 2 characters. Didn’t know if I should just level it up
I mean, cata isnt officially announced yet, but when it gets, I dont see a reason why we shouldnt get a boost like with the last 2 expansions.
I remember this, the drop rate was very low on retail. I had to buy it from the auction house 😅
anyone tried this with bears ?
I am going to be in the next few hours mate, my feral is only 4.9k though so it's gonna be spicy
@@Scottejaye You are doing god's work mate. Didnt even come my mind to even try this.
A few days ago I just started to solo Magisters Terace, which was really spicy during launch.
Gonna try Pinnacle for the mount after that.
Back in the day they patched it so that the non elite skeletons couldn't drop it anymore because they were so easy to solo.
correct that's the case, non elites won't drop it, only the elites, it's like that still in retail from the change in 2009. and only drops in heroic mode.
Possible as a blood dk?
Yes
You can only complete any heroic once a day, hence why people are saved. Its been like this since TBC. I think people have forgotten
you dont kill bosses, so you can just kill the trash and reset it
Can you not just dispell the beam? Looked like a magic effect on your ui
