Unlocking the Vulpera in World of Warcraft allows you to play as one of Azeroth’s most resourceful and adventurous races. Known for their adaptability and clever survival tactics, these fox-like nomads bring unique abilities and an unusually vibrant personality to the Horde. Here’s a full guide to unlocking the Vulpera, including rewards, racial abilities, lore, and tips for playing as this crafty Allied Race.
Vulpera Allied Race Guide
The Vulpera are one of the five Allied Races available to the Horde, alongside the Mag’har Orcs, Zandalari Trolls, Nightborne, and Highmountain Tauren. Hailing from the harsh deserts of Vol’dun, these nomads have perfected the art of survival, using every resource at their disposal.
Unlocking the Vulpera
To unlock the Vulpera as a playable Allied Race in World of Warcraft, you need a Horde character at level 40 to begin the recruitment questline—Blizzard has removed the previous reputation requirements. Once you reach level 40, head to the Orgrimmar Embassy to start the Vulpera recruitment quest chain.
This questline takes you into the deserts of Vol’dun, where the Vulpera have shown extreme resilience and resourcefulness in the face of adversity. The embassy serves as the main hub for recruiting all Horde Allied Races, and here, you’ll connect with Horde officials to start the process of bringing the Vulpera into the Horde.
