- Doing quests connected to the Iskaara Tuskarr faction.
- Finding “Sacred Tuskarr Totems” and turning them in.
- Partaking in weekly Community Feasts in Iskaara which you can unlock at Level 3 Renown.
- Joining fishing crews at Fishing Holes. Also, turning fish into Fishing Holes daily.
Once you get to Level 10 Renown, go meet with Tavio in the southwestern part of the Azure Span.
Speak with him and he will tell you to get a Pickaxe Blade for him. With it, he will be able to craft an Iskaaran Ice Axe for you.
The blade is at the Three-Falls Lookout on the northwestern part of the Azure Span. It’s close to the Brackenhide Hollow dungeon at coordinates 18.88, 24.26.
Once you’ve picked it up, travel back to Tavio and turn it in. You will then get the Iskaraan Ice Axe which will allow you to start ice fishing!
After that, simply explore the frozen lakes in the Dragon Isles. Look for cracked spots on the ice and use your Iskaaran Ice Axe on them to open a new fishing spot.
Now, you can just kick back and start fishing!
