The Battered Hilt.....

Today i started my personal quest for the Battered Hilt, not that i won it in ICC 5man nor did I buy it AH. I just started to grind gold for the redicolus amount of money that is needed for it, and according to my own rough calculations it seems that the sum of 68.900Gold is close to the sweetspot.

For you who read this and are not aware of the Hilt and it's material need/costs, the Hilt is a 0,1% rare drop from ICC's 5man, 3 lower Instances. And it sells for around 10k gold on any server. Exceptions can occur.

Basic cost of the Hilt is 10k.

After that you need to pay roughly 2k gold for each of the 25 Primordial Saronite needed.

Then when you are at the point where you have completed the long and hard chain quest you need to pay a BS roughly 500g plus a very movable sum of gold that cant be counted for due to the fact that if you have alts with the right profs, you can get away with just the 500g, but if you lack'em you can be forced to pay up to 2k gold, from what i have heard.

So whats the basic plan to get that sum?? Well I'm farming Crystallized Earth/Shadow/Water and Fire, all while i hunt nodes of Saronite and Titanium. The Eternals and Saronite I use to make Eternal Belt Buckle's and sell them for 50g a pop on AH while I save the Titanium and Fire/Earth and Shadows to smelt Titansteel Bars on my two toons and soon my 3rd toon too. By calculations i need to make 260ish Titansteel Bars to cover the costs, wow!

So i will also need to buy around 10 CD's of Smelting Titansteel per day and it will cost around 300g per day for that. The basic CD cost on The Sha'Tar server (EU) is 30g tip. And with that in mind I know that it will still take me 4 whole weeks more or less to make the almost 70k gold^^

And four weeks of 300g a day will accumulate to almost 9000g in smelting costs=/ Now that sucks a bit. But then again, when your done, you are just steps away from getting Shadowmourn=)

So thats the plan anyways!

Now the thing is that i wanna know if anyone else have a similar or better plan to make the gold needed for the completion of the Battered Hilt.
