Get Fang of the Mystics
Overview

Fang of the Mystics is an epic one-handed dagger for casters that drops from the world boss Azuregos. This is the anniversary version of the classic dagger, added to World of Warcraft in the Legion expansion (patch 7.2.5) alongside the return of the old world bosses.
Visually it is a short curved blade with a cold blue-steel palette and a distinctive bluish sheen along the edge. The model nods to the blue dragon Azuregos and his icy theme, so the dagger looks great in sets built around arcane and frost magic.
The dagger binds when picked up and scales to the character's level at the moment of looting, so its combat stats are irrelevant — for a modern player it is a purely cosmetic trophy. The item's value lies entirely in its appearance: it shows up only during the Anniversary and is unavailable for the rest of the year.

Fang of the Mystics drops from Azuregos — a neutral blue dragon who patrols the southern coast of Ashenvale. The boss returns to the game every year for the duration of the World of Warcraft Anniversary.
- Location: Ashenvale, southern coast, approximate coordinates
/way 48.8 84.3. - The boss scales with level: you can engage starting at level 15.
- Azuregos is neutral until attacked — you can walk right up to him without a fight.
- Loot is available once per day per character — the loot lock resets daily.
- Killing him as part of the "The Originals" quest grants Timewarped Badges, so it is worth picking up the quest in advance.
The drop chance for the dagger specifically is around 8-9%. Azuregos's loot table is split among all participants, so every player opens their own personal loot chest. Since Azuregos is an open-world world boss, you can easily take him down with a large random crowd; a full organized group is not required.
Outside the Anniversary the boss disappears from the game. If the event is currently inactive, all you can do is wait for the next annual Anniversary — there are no other sources for this version of the dagger.
Visual Fit
- Suits mages and warlocks building a look around arcane or frost magic — the blue sheen of the blade echoes frost spells.
- Looks great with cloth sets in a cold blue-silver palette, especially "blue dragon" sets.
- Pairs well with other trophies from the same boss — the sword
Typhoon and the belt
Unmelting Ice Girdle, letting you assemble a unified "Azuregos" look. - Contrasts with dark and fiery sets — against crimson or charcoal armor the cold blade looks debatable but striking.
- Works for priests as a companion blade to a staff or tome if you need a compact dagger in a neutral tone.
Tips
Pick up the "The Originals" quest before you head to the boss — otherwise you will have to kill Azuregos again for the reward.
Loot from Azuregos is personal, so there is no competition for drops: the more players in the crowd, the faster the boss falls.
The loot lock is shared across all versions of the boss during the Anniversary — you can obtain the dagger only once per day per character.
Farming the appearance is convenient on several characters: each alt has its own daily attempt.
If the dagger does not drop, do not be discouraged — the same boss also drops Typhoon and the Unmelting Ice Girdle, also unique appearances.
The Horde has the easiest time getting there: fly north out of Orgrimmar straight into Ashenvale. The Alliance finds it more convenient to teleport to Mount Hyjal and head down south.
The fight is short and the boss requires no tactics, so during the Anniversary it is realistic to clear all the event's world bosses in a single run per day.
Keep an eye on the Anniversary dates: the event lasts about three weeks in November, and once it ends the dagger becomes unavailable again until next year.

Started playing back in Pandaria, when the pandaren were still a novelty. Got stuck on Monk because it's the only class where you don't get dizzy after a dash. Tries to manage both tanking and kicking enemies in the face.
