Overview

Murder Row Fishhook

Game iconMurder 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

Game iconPlans: 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
Game iconDazzling Thorium 1
Game iconTormented Tantalum 1
Game iconGloaming Alloy 10
Game iconSterling Alloy 10
Game iconSilvermoon Weapon Wrap 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

1

The main path to the look is farming the plans inv_10_inscription2_scroll2_color1Plans: Murder Row Fishhook from Lithiel Cinderfury, so build the Murder Row dungeon into your weekly heroic and mythic+ route.

2

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.

3

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.

4

The reagents inv_12_profession_blacksmithing_blacksmithingalloys_gloamingGloaming Alloy and inv_12_profession_blacksmithing_blacksmithingalloys_dazzlingSterling Alloy are needed 10 each, so stockpile bars in advance by farming ore in the Midnight expansion zones.

5

The inv_12_profession_leatherworking_weapon_wraps_redSilvermoon 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.

6

Sparks of Blacksmithing accumulate slowly and have a weekly cap, so start saving them early, even before the plans drop.

7

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.

8

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.
