Overview

Остроплавниковый барахтун

Game iconFangfin Flailer is a one-handed bludgeoning weapon illusion from the Midnight expansion, added in patch 12.0.5. Essentially it is a cosmetic transmog in the shape of a living fangfin fish that your character swings around like a mace — a deliberately silly, "fishing-themed" look. The item adds an appearance to your account collection, so it has no combat stats of its own.

The appearance arrived together with the underwater Abyss Anglers event off the coast of Zul'Aman. It is one of the most fun rewards of the event: the fish-mace is perfect for joke and themed outfits tied to the sea and fishing.

Source

The appearance is bought with event currency rather than dropping from bosses.

  • The appearance is sold by Diver Tu'nakit — the cosmetics vendor of the Abyss Anglers event.
  • The appearance costs 2250 units of the Angler Pearls currency.
  • Pearls are earned during underwater dives: for fish you catch, relics you find and other activities.
  • The event itself begins with Diver Jeju on an island off the northeastern coast of Zul'Aman (around /way 68.2 20.0); the introductory quest is Joining the Abyss Anglers.
  • The purchase requires no achievements or reputation — you only need to save up the currency.

Alternatives / recolors

The Fangfin Flailer has no recolors: it is the only weapon illusion from the Abyss Anglers event, and there are no other color variants of this model in the game. The appearance is unique — it depicts a real fish rather than a classic mace, so practically no direct silhouette equivalents exist among weapons.

Who it suits visually

  • Ideal for joke and "fishing" outfits: the fish-mace plays on the theme of fishing and the sea.
  • Pairs well with other Abyss Anglers event rewards — for example, the diver set sold by the same vendor.
  • Looks great in sets of blue-green and turquoise tones that emphasize the aquatic theme.
  • Contrasts with serious combat armor, turning the look into something comical — a conscious choice for fun builds.
  • Suits classes that use one-handed maces: priests, shamans, druids and paladins.

Tips

1

You can save up 2250 pearls in a few runs through the event — dive regularly while the Abyss Anglers event is active.

2

Caught fish, found relics and fish schools you need to swim through bring the most pearls, so rack up points in different ways.

3

Complete the introductory quest from Diver Jeju first, otherwise the dives and the vendor will be unavailable.

4

The appearance is account-bound: you only need to buy it once for it to become available to all your characters.

5

The same vendor, Diver Tu'nakit, also sells other cosmetic rewards from the event, so farming pearls pays off with several items at once.

6

It is wise to set aside part of the currency for dive upgrades: they increase gathering efficiency and speed up saving for expensive rewards.
