Battered Hilt.

Q u o t e:

No, you are not able to use the item. And unfortunately, it isn't something a GM can swap over for you. At best you could try reselling it back over the neutral AH and see if an Alliance-side player will buy.

That would likely be your best option, Roselia. Our In-Game Support staff would be unable to exchange the item for you.

If you are attempting to purchase an item like this make sure you hover your cursor over it, the item description does indicate which races can use it. Sorry for the confusion, Roselia, good luck to you.

Q u o t e:
So if I have a battered hilt Aliance side, and transfer to horde, does the hilt change?

Yes. The item itself will be changed when you transfer regardless of what faction you are.
