Four of these Allied Races were introduced at the end of Legion, while the remaining six came with Battle for Azeroth. These unlocks include:īoth the Horde and the Alliance have five Allied Races for a total of ten. Faction neutral unlocks include:īut some achievements are faction specific, requiring you to do quests and achievements specific to your faction. For example, you can unlock Mechagnomes if you’ve completed The Mechagonian threat on a Horde character, but you still need a level 50+ Alliance character to complete the final unlock quest. Some of these achievements are faction neutral, but you still need to have a character of the appropriate level and the appropriate faction to fully unlock them. You’ll also need to meet the level requirement - level 45 for the four Legion Allied Races, and level 50 for the six Battle for Azeroth races. But in every case, you will need to complete an lengthy meta-achievement to unlock each specific Allied Race, which we’ll cover below. Three current Allied Races - the Kul Tirans, Mechagnomes, and Dark Iron Dwarves - will be easier to unlock in patch 9.1.5 as you won’t need to run the dungeons that are currently part of the process of unlocking them. Unlocking an Allied Race tends to follow the same format. Here’s what you need to know about unlocking Allied Races in Shadowlands. So if you want to know how much effort you need to put in to play a Gnome with metal replacement limbs and a never say die attitude, we’re here to help. Though unlocking these Allied Races still takes some work, it isn’t as hard as it used to be - and it’s getting even easier in patch 9.1.5. We’ve all been there and I can’t blame you, because they’re awesome. And some Allied Races have gotten even more appealing because they’re getting new cosmetic options in patch 9.1.5. But maybe you really want to be a much taller Troll or an even shinier Draenei or So, or a Kul Tiran because frankly you dig the aesthetic of a chonky Human. Unlocking Allied Races can be a lot of effort - particularly if you didn’t actively play during the expansion in which they were released.
