With a Water Strider, traveling in World of Warcraft is also very fast on water. We will tell you how to easily get the mount.
In World of Warcraft, there are plenty of mounts, but only a few can run on water at full speed. One of these mounts is the Azure Water Strider. This week (October 17 – 23), you can earn it particularly quickly. We will reveal how to do that.
Where can you find the Azure Water Strider? The Water Strider is a reputation reward from the faction “The Anglers” from Mists of Pandaria. To buy it for 5,000 gold, you need to have an exalted reputation. The Anglers are based in the Krasarang Wilds and live a quiet fishing life there.
Why is the Water Strider important? Kul Tiras and Zandalar are both islands with large bodies of water – whether rivers, lakes, or the surrounding sea – with a Water Strider, players save a lot of time while traveling and can explore the islands much faster.
How to get the Water Strider quickly? This week, the Timewalking: Mists of Pandaria event is happening again. This means you can exchange your Timewarped Badges with Mistweaver Xia for reputation rewards. You can find Mistweaver Xia on the Timeless Isle (see map).
Each reward from the Anglers costs 50 Timewarped Badges and grants 300 reputation. You get Timewarped Badges from Timewalking dungeons, which you can sign up for through the Dungeon Finder.
Having multiple characters is advantageous: It’s especially easy to farm reputation if you have multiple characters at a high level. Because with the first dungeon of each character, you receive a quest item that you can exchange for a whopping 500 Timewarped Badges. That alone is equivalent to 10 rewards from the Anglers!
Since you can send the rewards to other characters on your account, you can achieve the necessary reputation in just a few hours.
105 rewards for the mount: From “neutral” to “exalted”, you need exactly 105 rewards, which corresponds to 5250 Timewarped Badges. It’s important that after reaching the reputation level “respectful” (after 70 badges), you visit the Anglers and buy the “Great Angler’s Reward Badge”. This increases your reputation gain with this faction by 100%. Afterwards, you only need 35 more badges to reach exalted.
Those who do not earn the reputation this way must laboriously grind it with daily quests and rare fishing drops. It’s hardly possible to get the Water Strider faster than now. So use this week, as the next opportunity won’t come for several months.
Have you secured the Azure Water Strider yet? Or are you busily farming Timewalking dungeons?
