[Zekta] whispers: What had those Gnomes and Goblins planning all along?

The Hilt, Primordial Saronite… to sell or not?

Hey all!

I’m alive, and I think Zekta is too!

And… I finally installed WordPress! That’s right, Zekta made me official. I have the password, I don’t have to send him my posts anymore… I’m in! I’m feel like Borat, “King in the Castle, King in the Castle!”

This is just a short post until we formulate something more substantial, but I have had something on my mind recently. Now that 3.3 is rolling along, there are two things that are obvious potential sources for profit: selling your Primordial Saronite and (should you be lucky enough) selling your Battered Hilt.

As I’m sure you’re all aware, Primordial Saronite is going for 1.9k-2.4k server to server, and it costs 23 Frost Emblems. The hilt is a very rare drop from the Icecrown heroic 5-Mans (FOS, POS, HOR) that sells for 10k-20k, depending on server. I want to know…

…will you (did you?) sell them or keep them?

I can see the logic in doing either. Personally, I’ve purchased a hilt (for an absurdly low 5k) and used it, won a second hilt and sold it (for 12k, which turned into BOE endgame tank boots tyvm!), and sold 2 primordial saronites from an alt. Because I’m in an endgame guild, I’m okay doing this- I have the 2 pieces of BOE gear I need at i264, and I already did the hilt quest once, so I’m selling and selling now. But for alot of folks, especially those that don’t raid, frost badges and the hilt will get you the best gear you’ll see outside of raids. So, put it in the comments- what would you do? I’m really curious.

GL! /bow

(PS: if the formatting is messed up, that is because this is my first foray into blogging. I’ll fix it, or Zekta will… I swear! lol)
