Are you bored of the classic World of Warcraft races? Never fear, because we're here to help you unlock the amazing Allied Races the old-fashioned way, without resorting to cheating or using an Allied Races boost service. The Allied Races are available for both Horde and Alliance, putting a new twist on classic races. Unlocking these require players to journey back to the Battle for Azeroth and Legion expansions and complete the required achievements.
Here at Rivalry, we've compiled a list of all the Allied Races available in World of Warcraft, along with their unique racial traits, to help you make the best decision for your character. So, gear up and get ready to experience Azeroth like never before!
Racial Skills:
Players must earn two achievements: Ain't No Mountain High Enough through quests in Highmountain and the Allied Races: Highmountain Tauren. The latter is a short recruitment questline available in the Horde embassy, so they can then create a new character as a Highmountain Tauren.
Racial Skills:
To unlock the Mag'Har Orcs, players will need to earn two achievements. This includes the Ready for War achievement, done by completing the war campaign in Zandalar and Kul Tiras. Achieving this will unlock the short recruitment scenario, Allied Races: Mag'har Orcs.
Racial Skills:
To create a Nightborne as a playable race, you must complete the main Suramar quest chain, which will take several hours to complete. This will give you the achievement Insurrection. As with the previous Allied Races, players must do the short recruitment section to get the Allied Races: Nightborne achievement, allowing them to create a Nightborne character.
Racial Abilities:
To play as a Vulpera, players must complete the Vul'Dun main scenario quest chain, which will take several hours to complete fully. After this, they must also finish the Allied Races: Vulpera recruitment storyline found in the Horde Embassy.
Zandalari Trolls have their own racial abilities unlike any other races, Embrace of the Lao. To choose their Lao, players must go to their respective shrines in Dazar'alor and attune themselves to them. Attuning to a shrine has a 5-day cooldown, so choose wisely!
There are three things players must do before they can play as a Zandalari Troll themselves. First, they must complete the entire Tides of Vengeance war campaign. Players should then advance to the Zuldazar main scenario quest line. Players can complete the Allied Races: Zandalari Troll quest series at the Horde Embassy to unlock this Allied Race.
Racial Skills
Unlocking the Dark Iron Dwarf requires players to complete the first step of the Alliance War campaign to get the Ready for War achievement. Following this, players must complete the recruitment scenario found at the Stormwind Embassy. Upon completion, players should be able to pick Dark Iron Dwarves in the character customization screen.
Racial Skills:
Playing as a Kul Tiran Human requires players to fulfill two achievements: Tides of Vengeance (completing the Alliance war campaign) and A Nation United (completing the major storylines in the Kul Tiran zones).
Racial Skills:
Players must complete the Argus storyline to earn the You Are Now Prepared and the Allied Races: Lightforged Draenei achievements to learn why the Lightforged Draenei joined the Alliance to be able to play as one.
Racial Skills
To complete the recruitment questline for Mechagnomes, players need to get to Level 50 on an Alliance character and unlock the Mechagon zone. They must complete this zone's central storyline and a dungeon run. The Allied Race: Mechagnomes questline will then be available and unlock them as a new race.
Racial Skills:
To create a Void Elf Allied Race character, players must earn two specific achievements: You Are Now Prepared and Allied Races: Void Elf.
Heritage Armor sets are cosmetic armor specifically available for each Allied Race. They are earned by playing as an Allied Race character and leveling them to Level 50. Players must then complete the specific Heritage quest related to their race. A character boost will not allow players to receive their Heritage Armor. A Heritage Armor set can be transmogged by any character of that specific race.
There you have it; that's how to unlock all the new Allied Races in World of Warcraft. If you are stuck on your achievement criteria for each new race, plenty of mods like the BFA attunement tracker can help guide you in the right direction.
