Haze Seas Unlocking Fishman Style & Sea Beast Armor V2

This guide explains how the Haze Seas event unlocks the Fishman Style fighting style and the Sea Beast Armor V2 set in the game, including the exact steps, requirements, and what each reward does. You will learn the prerequisites, the event mechanics, and how to claim both items before the event ends.

What Is the Haze Seas Event?

The Haze Seas is a limited-time in-game event that introduces a new sea area shrouded in a thick, damaging mist. It is a PvE and PvP hybrid zone where players fight corrupted sea creatures and rival players to earn event-exclusive currency and drops. The event is the only current source for the Fishman Style fighting style and the Sea Beast Armor V2 set, both of which are tied to the event’s progression system.

Requirements to Unlock Fishman Style

To unlock Fishman Style, you must first reach the event’s reputation tier “Sea King’s Favor� (Tier 5). This requires earning 10,000 Event Points, which you get by defeating event bosses and completing daily quests inside the Haze Seas. Once you hit Tier 5, you can purchase the Fishman Style manual from the event vendor for 5,000 Event Points and 1,000,000 in-game currency. The manual is not a drop; it is a guaranteed purchase once the tier is reached.

How to Get Sea Beast Armor V2

The Sea Beast Armor V2 set is a drop from the event’s final boss, the Corrupted Leviathan. The boss spawns every 2 hours at the center of the Haze Seas. Each kill has a 10% chance to drop one of the three armor pieces (helmet, chestplate, boots). You do not need to be the top damage dealer to receive the drop, but you must deal at least 5% of the boss’s total HP to be eligible. The set is not tradable, so you must farm the boss multiple times to complete the set.

Step-by-Step Unlock Process

1. Reach Level 2,000 or above (the event zone is level-scaled, but this is the recommended minimum).
2. Talk to the Event Navigator in the main hub and select “Enter Haze Seas.�
3. Complete the tutorial quest “First Contact� to unlock the event point system.
4. Farm event bosses (Corrupted Sharks, Sea Serpents) and complete daily quests to earn Event Points.
5. Reach Tier 5 reputation by earning 10,000 Event Points.
6. Buy the Fishman Style manual from the event vendor.
7. Farm the Corrupted Leviathan until you get all three Sea Beast Armor V2 pieces.

Fishman Style Moveset and Stats

Fishman Style is a water-based fighting style that scales with your melee stat. Its moves include:

• Water Bullet – a ranged projectile that deals 1.2x melee damage.
• Shark Dive – a dash that damages enemies in your path.
• Tsunami Kick – an AoE knockback that also slows enemies.
• Sea King’s Wrath – a powerful AoE that costs 50% of your energy.

The style’s passive gives you 20% increased damage while in water, which makes it strong in the Haze Seas but less useful on land. It is not considered top-tier for PvP on land, but it is excellent for the event zone.

Sea Beast Armor V2 Stats and Set Bonus

The Sea Beast Armor V2 set has higher base defense than the original Sea Beast Armor, and each piece grants a small HP regen bonus. The full set bonus (all three pieces) gives you a 15% damage reduction and a 10% speed boost while in the Haze Seas. Outside the event zone, the set acts as a standard legendary armor set with no special bonuses. The set is visually distinct, with a dark blue and coral texture.

Common Mistakes and Misconceptions

A common mistake is thinking you can buy the Fishman Style manual before reaching Tier 5—you cannot, the vendor only shows it after you hit the required tier. Another misconception is that the Sea Beast Armor V2 drops from any event boss; it only drops from the Corrupted Leviathan. Also, the boss’s 10% drop chance is per piece, not per kill for the whole set, so you may need many kills to get all three pieces. Finally, the event is not permanent; it runs for 4 weeks, so plan your farming accordingly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I get Fishman Style after the event ends?

No, the Fishman Style manual is event-exclusive. If you do not purchase it during the event, there is no current way to obtain it afterward. The developers have not announced a future re-release.

Is the Sea Beast Armor V2 better than the regular Sea Beast Armor?

Yes, the V2 set has roughly 30% higher base defense and the set bonus is stronger. However, the regular set is still viable for general use, while the V2 is specifically tuned for the Haze Seas.

Do I need to be a certain race to use Fishman Style?

No, any race can use Fishman Style. The name refers to the fighting style’s origin, not a race restriction. However, the Fishman race does get a 10% damage bonus with this style due to their water affinity.

How long does it take to get the full Sea Beast Armor V2 set?

On average, it takes 30 boss kills to have a 95% chance of getting all three pieces, assuming a 10% drop rate per piece. With a 2-hour spawn timer, that is about 60 hours of boss farming, though you can speed this up by server hopping.

Can I trade the Sea Beast Armor V2 pieces?

No, all event drops are untradable and cannot be sold on the market. They are bound to your account upon pickup.
