Battered Hilt solo farm.

[Unholyshaman]

I will post an SS as soon as it drops :P
But it is a good question, HAS anyone actually had a Hilt DROP while solo farming using this method recently?

@ Thidan, amazing guide, ive been farming for a while and didnt die once using that guide, thx alot

[Unholyshaman]

Did you get a hilt though? lol

Farming till I cannot enter instances anymore, no sign of any epics, decent amount of silver/gold and greens though.

Been doing this all day and so far i got:

Dagger x 3
Bracers x 2
Battered Hilt x 0

And around 1300g and ALOT of enchanting mats

I would really like a confirmation aswell, at least from non-elite skeletons. I ran this place 33 times now doing the 5 skeleton+necro groups and ocasionally killed some more mobs to my liking. The one BoP epic that dropped wasn't from a non-elite skeleton either. How can one have such bad luck

Been trying to do this all day. Got 4 daggers, 2 leather bracers, and 2 fist weapons.

I too would like a confirmation.

Isn't that from day 1? 1-2% would mean I 'should' have gotten it (not taking very bad luck in account) at least once with my ~900 kills, no?

Also seen people stating they killed 1200 without a single drop. How can it be 1-2%?

Edit:

Quote from Wow forums:

Saw 5 drop before the hotfix, 2 in one pull.

I've been running these heroics at least 4 times a day since the patch, haven't seen one since the hotfix. According to Armory it went from a 6-9% to a 1-2%. That's what someone else said, anyway.

If this is true it must be right? Or maybe not, meh!

[Unholyshaman]

Yeah I honestly would have thought someone here would have gotten one by now.

[Shayden85]

Some are saying they got it but there are no proof

[buddhistgrandma]

They coulda seen that people were trying to solo farm it. I'm sure that is not what they intended. They coulda hotfixed the hilt off of the skellies and not have changed the armory to reflect that change.

Yea maybe

"The chance for epic items to drop off trash mobs in the Frozen Halls 5 player dungeons has been reduced."
-Blizzard 12/9/09 Hotfixes.

Maybe that also implies that they stopped some mobs from dropping epics altogether?

That's exactly what we're wondering
