Backwater Armor

Backwater Armor is an Uncommon eight-piece fishing set (four armor and four equipment pieces); you need Fishing 5 to use it.¹

Getting it. Junker Joel trades each piece for the matching Angler Armor piece plus 4 Rusty Coins.¹

Swamp Soldier (tiered bonus, from 1 piece). You deal more damage to sea creatures: from +5% with one piece up to +40% with all eight.¹

Skin note. An Angler Helmet with the Deep Sea Skin keeps the skin when upgraded, even though the skin can't be put on a Backwater Helmet directly.¹
