Patch 8.3 - Visions of N'Zoth Horde Allied Race - Vulpera
Vulpera are cunning nomadic scavengers capable of turning what they find into opportunities to thrive. Clever and resourceful, the vulpera of Vol’dun have survived amidst the sands for generations. Eager to join the ranks of the Horde, their caravans have departed from the dunes in search of adventure. The serpentine sethrak have taken to subjugating anyone they can as slaves, and the vulpera are an easy target for their machinations. If you’ve taken steps to liberate the vulpera from these overseers, they’ll join the Horde on the battlefield.




Unlocking the Vulpera
To unlock the ability to make a Vulpera, the following achievements must be completed on one character on your account. Once done, you can make a Vulpera on any server.




Classes
The Vulpera Allied Race can be any of these classes:

  • Death Knight (with pre-purchase of Shadowlands)
  • Warrior
  • Hunter
  • Rogue
  • Priest
  • Shaman
  • Mage
  • Warlock
  • Monk


Racials
The Vulpera racial abilities are as follows:

  • Bag of Tricks - Pull your chosen trick from the bag and use it on target enemy or ally. Enemies take [ Greater of {180% of Spell Power} or {180% of Attack Power * pctD * (1 + 0)} ] damage, while allies are healed for [ Greater of {270% of Spell Power} or {270% of Attack Power * pctD * (1 + 0)} ].
  • Rummage Your Bag - Change your chosen tricks. Now where did you put that? 5 sec cast. 5 min cooldown
  • Make Camp - Make a camp at this location. Can only be used outdoors. 5 sec cast. 10 minute cooldown.
  • Return to Camp - Return to your camp. 10 sec cast. 1 hour cooldown
  • 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.
  • Alpaca Saddlebags - Increases the size of your backpack by 8 slots.

When you cast Rummage Your Bag, a small sack will appear in front of you and allow you to customize your Bag of Tricks spell. Based on the flavor text provided upon clicking it, it is clear that this racial will have options to discover to customize the spell further in a manner similar to how the Dark Iron Dwarf Mole Machine racial was able to discover more locations to travel.

Upon creating a Vulpera, they have two different options for Rummage Your Bag to choose from:

  • Corrosive Vial - Splash your enemy with corrosive fluid, dealing [ Greater of {180% of Spell Power} or {180% of Attack Power * pctD * (1 + 0)} ] Nature damage. A good reason not to drop your bag!
  • Healing Vial - Heals a friend for [ Greater of {270% of Spell Power} or {270% of Attack Power * pctD * (1 + 0)} ] Nature. Share the wealth!






Mounts
The Vulpera racial mount is the Caravan Hyena. It is usable by all Horde races upon completion of Allied Races: Vulpera.




Heritage Armor
If you level a Vulpera to 110 without a boost, you will be awarded with Heritage of the Vulpera, which grants the heritage armor below.

    Elder Scrolls Online – Khajiit and Argonians
    Guild Wars 2 – Charr, ArcheAge – Firran,
    Everquest – Frogloks, Iksar, and Vah Shiir

    All of them freaking stupid AF, belonging in crappy MMORPGS, that nobody gives a fuck about anyway and let it stay that way! Korean / Chinese people can deal with that, but not in a modern MMORPG of .. and here it comes.. ready for it? CERTAIN QUALITY!

    Jesus fucking christ man :O

    Nice comparsion! didn't remember that lol

    I have a feeling they are going into different factions...

    They can pvp with each other though!

    Or you can bring a Groot-like battle Pet (Groot's size of the second movie) with you at all time

    None of the races you just listed look anything like Vulpera. Not even a little bit.

    Why so angry?

    If they become playable I say we boycott all Vulpera players by denying them when they ask to join groups and refusing to heal them in LFD/LFR.

    Which is why they absolutely must be a Horde race

    Actually, forget about pvp duels, I want to see an Alterac Valley battle with only Gnomes and Vulpera allowed.

    Hm true, since Vulpera seem to be horde-bound. Well, like you say, they'll always have pvp lol

    This may actually be more juvenile than quitting the game if vulpera become playable. Bravo.

    Dont understand why they dont tell us that they become an Allied Race.
    I would actually be pretty upset if they dont when they put this amount of dev time into just and NPC race.

    Pandaren are unique among MMORPG races and so what? I would like you to go toe to toe with a giant panda in the wild and see how it ends, because clearly if you think giant pandas are unlike every other bear species then I've got news for you.
    If you care to even notice what is screaming obvious to any sane person there is:
    Elder Scrolls Online – Khajiit and Argonians
    Guild Wars 2 – Charr, ArcheAge – Firran,
    Everquest – Frogloks, Iksar, and Vah Shiir
    And none of those are like vulpera.
    All of them freaking stupid AF, belonging in crappy MMORPGS, that nobody gives a fuck about anyway and let it stay that way!
    In your subjective opinion, I for one think having a race of gray recolored draenei and fat humans is stupid. I, however, accept that there are those who want to play them.

    Also, Skyrim, suck? Lol.

    Korean / Chinese people can deal with that, but not in a modern MMORPG of .. and here it comes.. ready for it? CERTAIN QUALITY!
    I guarantee these vulpera models have had more work put into them than any of the existing allied races outside of Zandalari and maybe Nightborne.

    If a race of fox-people is really so threatening to you I dare say there may be something else going on... maybe talk to someone about that.

    Anthropomorphic races are a fantasy staple. It has nothing to do with Korea.

    Players since Wrath: Tuskarr and Traunka would be cool. Mechagnomes/stonedwarves?
    Players since Cata: How about Ramkahen?
    Players since MoP: Jinyu and Hozen are already allied--they'd be a perfect addition
    Players since W-- THIS EXPANSION NEVER EXISTED

    Blizz: Nah fam, we got this. *Makes smol furry race based off goblin skin that has never been mentioned before in wow lore*
    Players: ......???? Who the heck wanted this?

    >In a shadowy corner, a man in a fursuit grins. "Fools."

    Ogres: A very highly probable Allied Race for the future
    Ethereals: They have a problem for being hollow on the inside. Blizzard merged ethereals and high elves and got void elves instead.
    Naga: I also agree they could work. If the no legs is a problem, they could work like somewhat like worgen, have a second form for mounting, like night elf form.
    Tuskarr and Traunka: Doubt Taunka will come live after Highmountain tauren. Tuskarr are an open possibility, but not very probable.
    Mechagnomes / stone dwarves: I would love these to come live as well, the gnomes and dwarves before the curse of flesh.
    Ramkahen: They have four legs. Won't happen.
    Jinyu and Hozen: They might also come. They would fill the pandaren allied race slot.
