How do you unlock the Azure Water Strider mount in WoW Pandaria Classic?

The water-walking mount is unlocked through the faction Renown system. You can get one by leveling your Renown with the Anglers, the organization of fishermen in Pandaria. The mount unlock requires achieving Exalted Renown, which is the highest level. Since the faction specializes in fishing, you’ll be doing lots of tasks related to the profession. Once you become Exalted, you can purchase the item from the faction’s quartermaster, Nat Pagle. The NPC will also give you access to other goods, such as profession-related items, a companion, recipes, and other unlocks.

Why is it hard to unlock the Azure Water Strider mount in WoW Pandaria Classic?

Azure Water Strider is an unusual mount that allows you to walk on the water surface in non-combat areas. Nevertheless, it is attained exclusively by doing fishing-related missions. The fishermen have prepared many quests during which you must go out and catch fish. If you start yawning from boredom when it comes to leveling your professions, you will experience difficulties obtaining this cosmetic.

• Anglers Tabard - a clothing item to demonstrate your friendship with the faction;
• Dragon Fishing Pole - boosts your fishing skills;
• Tiny Goldfish - a small companion;
• Recipes: Viseclaw Soup, Krasarang Fritters - useful recipes for cooking

Besides, hitting Exalted with the Anglers will make you one step closer to the Pandaren Ambassador achievement, which requires reaching max reputation with 9 organizations in Pandaria.
