Only particularly persistent anglers in WoW receive new skins for their “weapon” – the first players have achieved this now.
While all classes were overwhelmed with various weapon skins during the Legion expansion in World of Warcraft , there was one weapon that ended up completely empty-handed: the Artifact Fishing Rod. Only particularly passionate fishing fans have managed to snag the Underlight Angler and are fishing the stocks of the Broken Shore dry.
We tell you how to unlock the Underlight Angler in this guide.
With Patch 7.3, the 6 special reputation factions for anglers were finally unlocked. Each one consists of a specific angler who stands in a fixed position.
- Guardian Raynae – Val’Sharah 53 / 73
- Akule Riverhorn – Highmountain 32 / 42
- Corbyn – Stormheim 91 / 11
- Sha’leth – Suramar 51 / 49
- Wichtlus – Broken Shore 34 / 50
- Ilyssia of the Waters – Azsuna 43 /41
The available angler rotates daily in a fixed rotation. Thus, you can complete a full circle around the Broken Islands over the course of 6 days, having the opportunity each day to raise the rep of one of the anglers to “Best Friends”.
To do this, you simply need to fish near the respective angler. This gives you a chance to snag certain rep items that you can then exchange with the corresponding angler. 560 items are needed per angler to reach the highest reputation.
In addition, each angler has a small inventory of toys that are also offered at certain rep levels – just a little bonus.
Only when you are “revered” (“Best Friend”) with all anglers will you receive the achievement “Fishing Friend of the Isles” – and with it new colorations for the Artifact Fishing Rod.

Are you even interested in the Artifact Fishing Rod? Or do you have enough to do with your “real” Artifact weapons?
