Dasher's Trophy Fish — Transmog Set Guide

Dasher's Trophy Fish is an uncommon one-handed mace appearance from the The War Within expansion. It is neither a blade nor a club, but an honest-to-goodness fish that your character holds in hand instead of a weapon. The model itself is a large trophy specimen with silvery-blue scales, and in combat it deals purely symbolic damage. The item description leaves no doubt about its purpose: "This fish is no good for eating, but it sure looks impressive."

This is an illusion item: when used, it adds the appearance to your warband's transmogrification collection and binds to your warband, meaning it unlocks for every character on the account. Dasher's Trophy Fish is one of the most amusing novelty appearances in modern WoW, indispensable for lighthearted, carnival, and fishing-themed looks.

The appearance is tied to the recurring fishing event in the Hallowfall zone on the continent of Khaz Algar. The key quest is the Hallowfall Fishing Derby.

• Source: the fishing derby event in Hallowfall, a reward for catching trophy fish.
• To take part, you need to pick up the quest and gain the temporary "Fishing Derby Participant" effect, which lets you catch special trophy fish.
• While the effect is active, you must catch every type of trophy fish: the trophy bismuth bitterling, the trophy whispering stargazer, and the trophy royal pseudochromis.
• The event is weekly, so attempts to catch the fish reset once per week.
• A high fishing skill is desirable: the higher it is, the more reliably you reel in the specimens you need.

• It fits perfectly into novelty and carnival looks, where the weapon is meant to raise a smile.
• It harmonizes with "fishing" and beach outfits — light cloth, straw hats, simple clothing.
• It contrasts with heavy combat armor, creating a deliberately absurd, meme-worthy look.
• It looks great in paired "dual" sets, when the character holds a fish in each hand.
• It suits roleplaying a peaceful craftsman or fisherman with no combat ambitions.
