The Allied Races feature which was introduced at the end of Legion and continued with the Battle for Azeroth expansion and has been one of the most positive features of this content set for World of Warcraft, allowing players to play as one of the allied races of each faction.
The Horde player base was able to create a Mag'har Orc, Highmountain Tauren, Nightbourne, or Zandalari Troll. With the latest patch 8.3.0, Horde players now have the option of picking up a Vulpera, the fox-type race that resides in the Voldun region of Zandalar. They are similar in size to Goblins and, like all Allied Races so far, offer a unique set of racial abilities that come in handy in the situation.
Their racial abilities include:
And their racial liabilities:
Alpaca Saddlebags: Increases the size of your backpack by 8 slots.
Fire Resistance: Reduces Fire damage taken by 1%.
Nose For Trouble: When you first take damage from an enemy, reduce that damage by 5% of your maximum health.
They're a cool race and can take on any class except Paladin and Druid (to be a Death Knight a pre-order in Shadowlands is required), but how do you unlock them? Well, like all other Allied Races, Vulpera requires a set of objectives to complete in order to unlock them. These goals include:
You have purchased the Battle for Azeroth expansion.
Completed the achievement Secrets in the Sands, which requires you to complete the Vol'dun storyline
Earn an exalted reputation with the Voldunai
Complete a special questline with the Vulpera
The requirements for the goal aren't too difficult, and most progress toward those goals can be made by progressing through the story of the expansion. Additional reputation can be earned by completing daily quests with the Vulpera, with more offers if they are the chosen emissary for the day, where you can complete four of their quests for an additional reputation boost.
Once the first three prerequisites have been met, the game will offer you the chance to meet the Vulpera to complete a special mission that says more about them as a race, similar to the achievement of other Allied races.
When completed, the game will present you with the achievement “Allied Races: Vulpera”, and the Vulpera, along with its allied race mount Hyena, will now be unlocked and available for use!
