Dear Mag'har Orcs, please come to the Alliance. I promise it's not just so we can stick our tongues out at the Horde and say that we have real orcs while they have the fel-tainted weaklings.

**Edit**
Really, downvotes? bunch of children "wahh I don't like it better make sure no one can see it wahh"

Comment by unoshi

Nice compiled guide, been waiting for one. Dedicated an entire server to role play my Mag'har orc clan with several orcs and maybe one regular orc playing warlock. anyhoooooo. small typo here

"Their Warcraft is Grom Hellscream," i assume autocorrect to warcraft instead of warchief

Comment by 1846352

Sooooo freaking awesome! One question though. Why aren't Shamans listed a confirmed Class since they have datamined totems? Also you may as well add Warrior because there is no way the Mag'har Orcs won't be able to play as a Warrior

Comment by SilverDragon234

What will the starting hunter pet for the Mag'har be?

Comment by Magmarius

Actually, Grom Hellscream famously drank the blood of Mannoroth. Blizzard just changed it for Warlords of Draenor.

Edit: Yes they're referring to the alternate timeline Grom. I thought I implied that. But IMO alternate timelines are a lame excuse for running out of ideas.

Comment by MacPzesst

Those totems look so nice...

Comment by Valherjar

I was very curious. Currently the female mag'har doesn't have baldness as a hair option in your model viewer. Is that a miss in your own coding - or is that what blizzard's alpha is forcing on us?
I find it highly alarming if the latter, as my orc certainly shouldn't have to be forced to grow hair just because I make her a mag'har.

Comment by NanerFish

I wonder what racials they'll have that normal Orcs won't have.

Comment by Gothy

To quote from the other page:
"Mag'har Orcs can be Warrior, Hunter, Mage, Monk, Priest, Rogue, Shaman"

I am really curious about the racials! Wonder if they'll be good for warrior & hunter like the Orgrimmar orcs or if they'll be completely different.

Comment by cleric670

Anyone else excited about the most epic of new buried in this post, ORCS CAN NOW BE PRIESTS!

Comment by 1856179

WTF
You gave mag'har monk class istead of warlock class !
its actually ok they dont have warlock class as there wasn't any warlock warchief(gul'dan) among them. but atleast there were some gul'dan fallowers and ofc guldan himself so they knew that class but monk ? i mean were there Chen or lili or pandaren race there ? =)) and its silly to say they have monks beacuse green skin orcs have monks. so plz (!) dont fallow that way! lets be honest you are using monk class as a filler ! all of the new races have monk class (except lightfroges & zandalars and its for balance between factions)
its already funny to imagine Draeneis & Taurens with monk class because u all know they have hoof and gigantic size & its againts their anatomy but however, its accepted by everyone. it was a bit logical to gave mag'hars warlock and still IT IS ! or not, atleast remove that monk class; it sure is againts LORE & FANTASY of this game and race!

Comment by Taraezor

Monk? Unbelievable. Firstly Mag’har didn’t have to come from AU. Greatmother Geyah? Garrosh? Garad? The settlement of Garadar? But the fact that Blizzard have elected to make them AU means there are fewer rules to follow. Like mag’har monks? Just getting a bit too loose with good lore for mine. Real orc fans will NOT be upset at having fewer classes. We don’t care about monk orcs.

The Mag'har did go to Pandaria. They would have encountered monks. Thus monks possible. I get that. But we're borrowing a bit of lore from here, a bit from there, to shoehorn the monks onto the Mag'har. AU? Enough already of that!

Comment by Loa2

Mag'har are from Nagrand in Outland . they don't live in shadowmoon and their not Black rock orcs they Mag'har orcs. why with all the shadowmoon and Black rock talk? Great Mother Geyah would be so disappointed in you!

Comment by Flapjakk

It’s a heritage set, yet clipping is still a problem. And the tabard’s logo won’t be seen with that belt.

Comment by 1859503

Can someone explain to me why the ^&*! orcs can be priests now? I hope they give us a good explanation for this. Did the orcs became friends with the draenei after we left?

Comment by Archanos

Orc Shaman, Hunter-Warriors will look BEAST!

Comment by Donclay

I haven't played in awhile but would you say that the 10% speed boost makes this race one to really consider? I was thinking a Hunter btw.

Comment by Darkwarrior101

Excited to make a Burning Blade Monk Mag'har! Gongrongzong made an excellent video explaining some reasoning behind making one that I can totally get behind btw guys, totally recommend for people wondering how they would fit into the lore.

Comment by Kelindre

Man they can be a priest, but not a Paladin? Orc Paladin would be awesome!

Comment by IronmanBG

I consider to change the race of my Shaman to Mag'har Orc (currently regular Orc).

I wonder do Sympathetic Vigor affect the Shaman elementals ?

Comment by selkiesidhe

I would have liked to have had one of these right at the start of the xpac. SO would probably be more interested in playing if he could go Maghar. :/

Comment by 1300253

Every other allied race has 5 racials, so maybe blizzard could add another one to the mix, probably something profession related. If I remember correctly no race has a leatherworking bonus, so it could be something like Dark-iron dwarf racial, they could make leatherworking items 25% faster.( I think everyone would agree that 15 skill bonus to a profession would be underwhelming)

Comment by Albaharmamar

still with the underhelmiing racials, and only 4? compare to Dark iron these racials aren't worth a dried up rat turd, the Alliance bias with racials never fails to disappoint me.

Comment by pelaaja0

Once earned, the heritage armor can be used by any Mag'har alts, including low level, boosted and race changed ones.

Comment by Wylyth

Im dissapointed that Mag'har Orcs don't get their own exclusive starting zone. I mean, Highmountain Tauren get an instanced version of Thunder Totem, Nightborne get an instanced version of Suramar City, Void Elves get Telogrus Rift, Lightforged Draenei get The Vindicaar, Dark Iron Dwarves get an instanced version of Shadow Forge City, and Mag'har Orcs get....Hall Of The Brave in Orgrimmar.

Comment by sarnzzle

Which of the tints of the heritage armor will be rewarded at 110?

Comment by sbaiar

I'm very confused... Why would we have to grind an "only Horde" rep (The Honorbound) to Exalted in order to have access to an Alliance class Orc?

Comment by Grimshadows

I really love the idea for the allied races and where they are going with it, i do NOT care for the requirements though. They use this expansion and one of the main features of it to obtain new allied races. Yet you gotta wait weeks or even months to gain access to the race by completing several requirements. Honestly i did the 4 pre expansion allied races, and i really don't feel like doing it all over again for these new ones. Its a shame because i really wanted a Mag'har Orc. At least give us the option to outright purchase the race, forfeiting the special armor with the class.

Comment by huldu

So you will have to play through BOTH alliance and horde to get the allied races? They sure are bringing on the grind in this expansion. Not only the reputation grind from Legion but at least you got those races playing *either* faction. Now we're forced to play through both factions to get the races? That's a new low sorry.

Comment by Jettafae

So....I have to play Horde to unlock them? Ugh. I do have hordies, but I main Alliance. The other allied races didn't have you doing this. You could unlock both on one faction.

Comment by Eilidor

I have a question. Will the reputation crossover? Like for example you could get the highmountain tauren reputation to exalted on the alliance side but all you needed was a 110 to do the intro quest? Will this be the same? just for the reputation part.

Comment by Seby

I did not know where or how to start the unlock for the new race after getting Exalted with Honorbound, but I figured it out:

You must go to the Orgrimmar Embassy where you'll have a new quest available from Eitrigg.

Comment by Cimegs5088

Hmm is it me or Mag'har orc has 1 more racial traits than normal orcs?

Comment by xaviar1

Just a small correction on the heritage armour. It unlocks at 110 like the Legion allied races, not 120, and you get all 3 sets upon reaching it.

Comment by bratkat1976

If you start the questline and can't complete it, is there a way to restart the questline on a different character?

Comment by bojacgooby

In case anyone else couldn't figure out where you go once you've met the unlock requirements, you simply go to the tent in Orgrimmar where you began the questlines to unlock the other Allied Races.

Comment by UsqueMortis

I love the new Mag'har orc options, better hair, more skin tones, etc. I just wished the eye color could change too, on the "old" green orcs, you could have the standard brown eyes, but also a blue set, and a red set. Cant see how the fell could change eye color to blue...other than that, I am really enjoying the new orcs, they look great, racials aren't bad, but I kinda miss the stun reduction of the old orcs, as I main a shaman, we have one defensive apart from kiting, so a racial like Hardiness was really helpful in pvp, we now get shorter diseases, fear and charm, so not complaining just an observation.

Comment by DasDeke

Just finshed the Mag'har storyline.

Grommash deserved a Ga'nar like cinematic at least! Also..regarding Yrel to paraphrase another archer like my hunter...

"Well, I... if I put an arrow through Yrel's eye socket, I'd sleep better, I s'pose.:

Final comment...I want to go back..

Comment by Thaleras

Once leveled all the way from 20 to 110, mag'har orcs unlock the 3 colors of their armor no matter their skin color.
The appearances are directly transferred in the "sets" section of your transmog collection. If you don't see them simply reload (or reboot game) and they'll show !

Comment by Wylyth

Ok, can anyone confirm if its 110 or 120 for heritage armor? Because the official race page for Mag'Har Orcs on the official WoW site says you only need to level your Orc from levels 20 to 110.

Comment by GreenchiliStudio

I am happy to get rep done, now I can play hunch back Blackrock orc warrior who mines ore and smelt armor all day like Blackrock clan is known for! :D

Comment by 110104

Well i done gone and messed up. Since the portal Apocalypse i couldnt figure out how to get to the blasted lands. Oculeth and Eitreg didn't offer me a portal anywhere neither did the timeless dragons... eeh i'm all lost n confused now... halp!

Comment by 1445424

Getting around this quest. Special thanks to this.

Step One - The Caverns of Time
1. From Orgrimmar, take the Uldum Cataclysm portal.
2. Fly to the Caverns of Time.

If you are Revered with the Keepers of Time, you can take the portal to Shattrath in the Portal Room, go to the Worlds End Tavern, and speak to Zephyr, who will port you directly to the Caverns of Time.

Step Two - The Blasted Lands
1a. From Orgrimmar, go the the Portal Room.
2a. The Thrallmar Mage there will port you directly to the Blasted Lands.

If the Thrallmar Mage does not offer a teleport to the Blasted Lands, then: (Special thanks to thirstycow for their comment.)
1b. From Orgrimmar, take the Undercity Portal.
2b. Talk to Zidormi and revert to past Tirisfal Glades.
If you already have reverted Tirisfal Glades, the next time you take the Undercity portal, you will zone into the Magic Quarter near the Hellfire Penninsula Portal.
3b. Enter Undercity and take the portal to Hellfire Penninsula in the Magic Quarter.
4b. Pass through the Dark Portal.

If you are a Druid, you can Dreamwalk to Duskwood.

You can complete No Bones About It to obtain the Violet Seal of the Grand Magus to teleport to Karazhan.

The Blessed Medallion of Karabor and the Fractured Necrolyte Skull can teleport you to the Black Temple.

Goblin Engineers can use the Dimensional Ripper - Area 52 to teleport to Area 52.

Step Three - Kun Lai Summit
1. From Orgrimmar, take the Honeydew Village portal in the Portal Room.
2. Fly to Kun Lai Summit.

Step Four - Back to Org
Orgrimmar ports:
Set Hearth to the Great Seal, and take Org Port.
Dalaran HS, and take the Org Port in Sunreaver District.
Wrap of Unity and Cloak of Coordination.

Step Five - Back to Zuldazar

Comment by Rotsterne

Looking for the questline laid out because I'm lost on it. I need to know where to go next.

Comment by thejayer

Anyone know if the Pet Health 10% buff applies to DK pets?

Comment by Elyseon

I absolutely hate what they did to Yrel. One of the few interesting characters in a bland and forgettable waste of time of an expansion and this is what they do. Also, apparently the Light is evil now too.

Comment by cwwood0322

I wonder with patch 8.3, the pre-purchase of Shadowlands, and the early access of Death Knights for the allied races the pre-purchase provides, if you still get the Heritage armor set if you level a DK without a boost to 110?

Comment by Wyr3d

Ji Firepaw now offers the first quest in the chain in the Embassy. Oo

Comment by Kheram

There is apparently a current glitch that lets you unlock the Mag'har if you have completed the Alliance War Campaign. I logged into a Horde toon today to do the Highmountain and Nightfallen unlock quests and Ji had the Mag'har quest for me. I have not even started the Horde War Campaign.

Comment by Milagros

Make sure you save either your Hearthstone, Dalaran Hearthstone, Cloak of Coordination/Cloak of Coordination, or Baradin's Wardens Tabard for Echo of Garrosh Hellscream or you will be stuck there waiting for your hearthstones CD's for at least 5 minutes.

Comment by Theroshan

So once you have unlocked this Mag'har race, you have to pay $25 to use it .. is that right? That is outrageous
I just finished the entire Questlines to unlock, and honest thought i would have the chance to change to it at the embassy in Orgrimmar. But no .... pay up!

Comment by WonDoZ

I wanted to ask a question about the allied races in general.
do you need to level up a character in BFA to unlock the allied races from that Exp.
or you can use a max-level character?
