[2019] Kul Tiran and Zandalari Unlock Requirements

As some have seen on the current PTR, players will be able to unlock both the Kul Tiran (Alliance) and Zandalari (Horde) in our next content update. While we do not have a date to announce at this time, the requirements to unlock these Allied Races are all currently active in the live game. If you are interested in playing either one of these upcoming Allied Races you can get these requirements completed now and begin the quest chain to unlock them as soon as the content update is released.

2. Achievement: “A Nation United” – Complete the following achievements and quests on the continent of Kul Tiras:

We did mention in the recent Q&A that there were some development challenges that impacted things a bit, so it isn’t entirely for story reasons. From my personal opinion though, I felt that being friends with a group and having them throw in entirely to where we can play as those characters are a bit different from each other.

This is just my opinion though and I understand where you are coming from.

We clarified that raiding wasn’t needed and people immediately wanted clarity on what was needed down to specifics. I put this together to help ensure everybody was on the same page and if they aren’t exalted or avoid doing quests, they can hop on those right away.

If you have unlocked Kul Tiran and you want a Zandalari then you need to do all of the horde requirements on a horde character. The mag’har/dark iron worked this way as well if I’m remembering right.

While I am not 100% sure on how the achievements themselves work with a faction change - the point that was mentioned above would be the primary issue: you would need a max level Alliance character to do the recruitment questline.

Sorry for the delay, but I got some details related to characters that swap factions and these requirements! If you do a faction change your reputations will switch over but quest completion does not, so if you want to qualify to unlock the kul tiran/zandalari you will need to do the main storyline for that continent and faction.

Note that for the War Campaign aspect, if you got to exalted with 7th Legion/Honorbound then you can just do all the chapters without any delays to gain more reputation.

We just mentioned it on the live stream that is talking about building the art of World of Warcraft, March 12! It’s a great discussion that is also focusing on building these Allied Races, I recommend checking it out when you can (now or the VoD later).

Once those are complete, you need to do the quest chain to unlock them. It’s at the emissary area in Orgrimmar.
