While there’s no new base playable races or classes inThe War Within, there is an unlockable race you can add to your roster. Sure, the Earthen aren’t new toWorld of Warcraft. However, this particular kind we find have been hidden away from the rest of the world for a few millennia. Now they’re ready to join the ranks of both the Horde and Alliance, and this guide will show you how.
What are the requirements for unlocking The Earthen Allied Race?
The key requirement for this new group of playable characters involves a heavy investment intoThe War Within‘s story. There are four specific elements that needed to get an achievement called “Allied Races: Earthen.” Once you have that achievement, the new race is yours.
These achievement elements are going to be the main story campaign, as well as specific side quests focusing on the lives of the Earthen race. These requirements are:
What are The Earthen’s abilities?
Though they look like Dwarves, these new friends are more accurately described as “Living Constructs.” They’re made of stone and metal, but have plenty of free thoughts and emotions. A lot of these traits are reflected in their racial abilities.
As for classes, the Earthen have access to a fairly standard set at creation. you’re able to choose from Hunter, Mage, Monk, Paladin, Priest, Rogue, Shaman, Warlock, or Warrior. If you’re interested in being a Hunter, you’ll get a unique starting pet of a Gruffhorn.
What are the Earthen’s special features?
The Earthen come with a special starting racial mount, the Slatestone Ramolith. Like all allied race mounts, it’s a ground-only mount.
Earthen also have a unique Heritage armor upon reaching Level 50. Only Earthen can wear it, and there’s three color tints to choose from. Note: the old restriction that prevented you earning Allied Race Heritage Armor by race/faction changing a character has been removed. If you don’t want to level a new character, race changing to Earthen will get you the new heritage armor.
