Increasing Fame boosts your angler status in Wuthering Waves 2.1! Learn how to reach Fame Level 12 fast, and all ways to increase Fame in this guide!

How to Reach Fame Level 12 Fast

Complete Common Requests

Lv.	Fame Required	How to Get Fame
12	3,600	・Complete around 17 Common Requests (+200 each) ・Fill up your Fish Index (Passive)

With Priority Requests depleted, your main Fame source will be Common Requests, granting 200 Fame each. There are also Premium Requests that grant 400 Fame, although they are only limited to one per day.

To reach Level 12, you'll need to complete about 17 Common Requests, but you can speed this up with upgrades like Trawl and Wonder Bubble, which passively catch fish. Another method is farming fish first, then rerolling requests to match what you have available.

How to Increase Fame

Complete Fishing Requests

Fishing Request Type	Fame Rewards
Premium	x500
Priority	x400
Common (4 and 5-Star Requests)	x200

You can get Fame by completing Fishing Requests, which come in three types: Premium, Priority, and Common. The Fame you get varies depending on the request type.

Priority Requests Will be Replaced by Premium Requests

Priority Requests are one of the best ways to farm Fame in the early-game. However, there are only 17 of them and once you finish them all, they're replaced with Premium Requests.

By then, you can farm Premium Requests, which are limited to once per day, and high-rated Common Requests which are repeatable.

Upgrade Phoebe's Power of Unity

You can upgrade Phoebe's ability, Power of Unity, to add additional Common Fishing Request slots. This is so you can reroll a high-rated common request, which gives 200 Fame, for a cheaper price

Fill Up the Index

Fish Types	Required Rachel Upgrade	Fame Rewards	Fame Rewards (Mutants)
Shallow Waters	Basic Hull	x30	x20
Deep Waters	Advanced Hull	x40	x30
Abyssal Areas	Abyssal Hull	x50	x40
Oceanic Waters	Oceanic Hull	x60	x40
Legendary Fish	Oceanic Hull	x100	None

Pokey Moray's mutation only gives 30 Fame despite being labelled Abyssal, while Til the Fin-ish's mutation only gives 20 despite being labelled Deep.

There are over 72 entries in the index, and discovering each of them for the first time gives you Fame! Majority of them are regular fishes than can be found on different waters, namely the Shallow, Deep, Abyssal and Oceanic Waters.

As shown above, discovering legendary fishes gives the most Fame. However, you will most likely need Rachel's Ocean Hull upgrade to access their fishing spots.

Complete Event Quests

Quest Name	Fame Rewards
Set Sail! Pro Angler!	x100
Love in the Time of Fishing	x100
Where All Fish Converge	x300
Old Man and the Whale	x300

Completing the event quests can give you Fame, apart from the I Alone Survived quest which rewards none.

Unfortunately, each quest requires you to reach a specific Fame level at a certain point, thus you would still need to either fill up your index, or complete fishing requests!

What is Fame?

Needed to Progress Event Quests

There will be times when the event quest will require you to increase your Fame. This is so you could get used to the entire fishing event, unlock its hidden features, and even fishes you haven't seen before!
