Get Murder Row Fishhook
Overview

Murder Row Fishhook is an epic-quality one-handed dagger added to World of Warcraft with the Midnight expansion. Its look leans into the dark, criminal aesthetic of the back alleys of the reworked Silvermoon: a short curved blade with a hidden barbed hook at the base, dark metal with gilded edges and a distinctly elven silhouette. The weapon looks like a smuggler's tool rather than a ceremonial blade — grim, utilitarian and recognizably "elven" in shape.
The dagger belongs to the crafted weapon line from the Murder Row dungeon: its model directly references the storyline about a fel smuggling operation beneath the reworked elven capital. Statistically it is an item level 246 piece carrying agility and stamina, which makes it a combat weapon for rogues, demon hunters, druids and enhancement shamans. For transmog, however, only the blade's appearance itself matters.
As a combat weapon the item is relevant at the launch of Midnight and during the early weeks of the season. As a transmog look, on the other hand, the dagger stays valuable for a long time: it is a recognizable model that viewers immediately read as a "Silvermoon weapon from the Midnight era." The flavor text emphasizes the blade's origin: it is carried by the cutthroats of Murder Row, and the hidden hook wounds the target unseen.
Source
Murder Row Fishhook cannot be looted directly — it is a crafted item. The process splits into two steps: obtain the plans and gather the reagents.
Plans
Plans: Murder Row Fishhook drop as bonus loot from Lithiel Cinderfury — the final boss of the Murder Row dungeon.
- The dungeon is located in the reworked Silvermoon and unlocks at level 83.
- The plans drop by chance as bonus loot, so several runs may be needed — normal, heroic or mythic difficulty all work equally.
- To use the plans you need Midnight blacksmithing skill level 50.
- Bonus loot does not occupy the main loot slot, so the plans can drop alongside the usual boss reward.
Reagents
After learning the plans, assembling the dagger requires a set of materials:
| Reagent | Quantity |
|---|---|
| 1 | |
| 1 | |
| 10 | |
| 10 | |
| 1 | |
| Spark of Blacksmithing | 2 |
Additionally, optional reagents can be used during crafting to tune secondary stats and raise the item's quality — that is already a matter of optimizing combat statistics and does not affect the appearance itself.
The finished dagger becomes soulbound on pickup, so it cannot be sold on the auction house — the craft is done for yourself or by a blacksmith you know using your reagents.
Alternatives
Murder Row Fishhook has no confirmed color recolors with separate item IDs — it is a standalone look from the Midnight expansion's crafted weapon line. Variants similar in silhouette and theme should be sought among other "smuggler" and elven weapons.
- Daggers from the first-season Midnight dungeons — the closest in aesthetic, designed in a similar criminal palette of Silvermoon's alleys.
- Elven daggers with a serrated edge from older expansions — for looks where you want to keep the "hook" silhouette but in a different color scheme.
- Other crafted Midnight blacksmithing weapons — designed in a single artistic line and pairing well with one another by materials.
If you want this exact look, you should farm the plans themselves in the Murder Row dungeon: the item has no alternative source for the identical model.
Who It Suits Visually
- Suits rogue and dark blood elf looks: the serrated blade and dark grip fit a smuggler or urban assassin concept well.
- Harmonizes with leather sets in black-red and dark crimson tones — for example, with Midnight-era transmog sets from Silvermoon.
- Fitting in concepts tied to Silvermoon's criminal underworld and the Murder Row dungeon storyline — the look directly references Lithiel Cinderfury's smuggling operation.
- Contrasts with paladins' bright plate armor — a debatable but expressive combination of a "dirty" weapon with ceremonial gear.
- Looks good paired with an identical dagger in both hands on rogues — two matching "hooks" form a coherent street-assassin silhouette.
Tips
The main path to the look is farming the plans
Plans: Murder Row Fishhook from Lithiel Cinderfury, so build the Murder Row dungeon into your weekly heroic and mythic+ route.
The plans are bonus loot from the final boss: there is no guarantee, but repeated runs of the dungeon have no weekly cap, and the chance grows with the number of attempts.
If your group has a blacksmith with Midnight blacksmithing leveled to 50, arrange the craft in advance — this saves time searching for someone in chat.
The reagents
Gloaming Alloy and
Sterling Alloy are needed 10 each, so stockpile bars in advance by farming ore in the Midnight expansion zones.
The
Silvermoon Weapon Wrap is easiest to buy on the auction house — it is a cheap reagent, and there is no need to keep a separate profession just for it.
Sparks of Blacksmithing accumulate slowly and have a weekly cap, so start saving them early, even before the plans drop.
The finished dagger becomes soulbound on pickup — it cannot be sold on the auction house, the craft is done strictly for a specific character or by a blacksmith to whom you hand over all the reagents.
The look unlocks in the transmog collection when the item is obtained by any character on the account — a craft on an alt with leveled blacksmithing works too.
