you need to understand that the drop rate was originally less than .01% and was cut in half on the last patch.
so basically its 0% if you are lucky.
most of the drops come from icc 10/25 mans
There was some talk that if you cleared ALL of the mobs in the pit it would drop once in 200 clears.
hope that helps

1. If you have any weapon obtained from the Battered Hilt quest line, can you still roll on one if it drops?
2. Where's the best place to farm? I've heard wiping on the waves in HoR, but what about clearing all the trash up to Garfrost and then resetting?
Yes.
The drop rate on PoS reg skeletons were cut because people were farming them, so I'd stick with HoR.

2 quick questions.
1. If you have any weapon obtained from the Battered Hilt quest line, can you still roll on one if it drops?
2. Where's the best place to farm? I've heard wiping on the waves in HoR, but what about clearing all the trash up to Garfrost and then resetting?
I've still never seen one drop and we run Heroic Forge, Pit, and HoR daily. Crappy luck I guess. Thanks for the help.
1. Yes.
2. If you have unlimited time, I would say FoS trash resets.
Your best bet to actually acquire one is to use you time to make gold and go buy one. As money earned is linear to time spent in the game and the Hilt has a fixed price.

Faster way, just pug icc10, kill the first boss, and get a sword that's just as good.

Exactly. You can get just as good a weapon from ICC 10 (which is easily puggable). Farming this is a waste of time unless you are extremely hard up for money.
At no point did OP mention he was gonna use the Battered Hilt for raiding. In fact, his first point implied that he already has one. He probably wants to farm it for gold.

On a side note, I have had a few random pug groups get screwed because there are tanks that queue up for PoS and FoS, and fight up to the first boss only to drop instantly thereafter. They are obviously using the pugs to farm the hilt and it is annoying as hell!

Actually, for Mele DPS, its better. I got that claymore the same night I got my battered hilt, but had started the quest chain already... so now I heal with the Quel'Delar (which I rarely do) so... it wasa waste (bummer). But the claymore from the first boss is Awesome.
