| Services | Trades cooked fish for Angler Raffle Tickets — the only source of the Angler Outfit. Tickets also roll for four more prizes. |
| Dialogue | "You want the coat off my back, then. Fair enough — nobody wears this without earning it. Bring me cooked fish, any kind — the rarer the catch, the more it counts — and I'll hand you tickets. What the tickets pull out is between you and the sea." |
The Angler is an NPC at The Shores who runs the raffle for the Angler Outfit — the game's Fishing chase set. She trades cooked fish for raffle tickets, at so many points a fish; what the tickets pay out is entirely random. A ticket that misses the outfit rolls once more for four more prizes: the Anglerfish mount, the Ocean Aura, the Anglerfish Lantern Hat and the Mounted Swordfish.
The Shores is a paid realm, so free-to-play accounts can't reach the Angler.
The Deal
Every cooked fish is worth points, and 500 points buys one Angler Raffle Ticket. Cooked fish only; raw fish are refused. Cooked fish must be in your inventory or hotbar; banked fish don't count.
| Cooked fish | Points |
|---|---|
| Cooked Herring | 1 |
| Cooked Trout | 5 |
| Cooked Bass | 8 |
| Cooked Tuna | 9 |
| Cooked Swordfish | 10 |
| Cooked Parrotfish | 11 |
| Cooked Grouper | 12 |
| Cooked Fangtooth | 13 |
| Ticket | 500 points |
In her window you tap any fish you want to keep back, then pick how many tickets you want — up to 50 in one trade. She takes the cheapest fish first, so your rarer catch goes last, and before you trade she shows you exactly which fish it will take. A trade rarely lands exactly on a ticket, so any spare points are saved for your next trade.
Drawing Tickets
Each ticket rolls for the Angler Outfit first. A ticket that misses the outfit gets one more roll, for one of four more prizes. A ticket pays at most one prize.
| Detail | Value |
|---|---|
| Odds per ticket | 1 in 1,000 for one random Angler Outfit piece |
| Duplicate protection | None — duplicates are possible |
| Tradeable | Every prize, including duplicates, is tradeable |
| Wear requirement | Fishing level 30 (Angler Outfit pieces only) |
| Set bonus | 30% faster fishing everywhere, including Emberstone lava, when all three pieces are worn together |
The tickets are tradeable items, and only tickets in your inventory or hotbar can be drawn. Draws can be taken ×1, ×10, or ×100 at a time. Each prize lands in its own bag — the outfit, the aura and the hat in your wardrobe, the Anglerfish in your mount bag, the Mounted Swordfish in your furniture bag — and a draw needs room for every new prize it could win: a free wardrobe space for each of those cosmetics not already in your wardrobe (up to one per ticket drawn), and room in your mount and furniture bags. If a bag is short, the Angler refuses the draw and no tickets are spent. A set piece lands on average once every 1,000 tickets. The outfit odds were deliberately widened from the old 1-in-2,500 (roughly a quarter-million fish per hit), which had kept the whole outfit in single figures across the game.
Four more prizes
