Haranir Allied Race: How to Unlock, Classes, Racials and Heritage Armor

The unlock takes 4 steps, in this order.

1. Own Midnight. The Haranir are the allied race of the Midnight expansion.
2. Finish the Eversong Woods campaign. Completing it offers you the Harandar campaign.
3. Finish the Harandar campaign. The table below lists its quests in order.
4. Turn in The War Beyond the Roots. Elder Hagar gives you this final quest in Silvermoon City. You bring word to Lor'themar Theron in the Sanctum of Light, in the same city.

The race then opens for every character on your account.

You also earn the Allied Race: Haranir achievement. Its reward is the Ivory Grimlynx mount.

The Haranir are a neutral race. Each Haranir character picks Horde or Alliance.

The Haranir can play 9 of the 13 classes.

Haranir hunters start with a saptor pet.

Haranir racials

The Haranir have 5 racials: 2 active and 3 passive.

Racial and what it does	Type
Rootwalking teleports you to the Cradle. Near a world tree's roots in Harandar, it takes you to that world tree.	Active
Thorn Bloom hits up to 8 enemies with thorns and heals up to 8 allies within 10 yards of the target area. Its cooldown is 3 minutes.	Active
The One With Nature racial gives +5 Herbalism skill and +10 Finesse. Finesse raises the chance of extra gathered materials.	Passive
Lash Out gives +1% critical strike damage and +1% critical strike healing.	Passive
Subterranean Predator gives +10% experience from killing Aberrations, Beasts and Elementals, and +1% damage to them.	Passive

For a healer, Lash Out and the heal in Thorn Bloom both help.

For a gatherer, the One With Nature racial matters most.

For leveling, Subterranean Predator is the one to watch.

Haranir druids have their own version of 7 druid forms.

• Bear Form: the tank form.
• Cat Form: the melee damage form.
• Moonkin Form: the Balance caster form.
• Travel Form: faster movement on land.
• Flight Form: flying travel.
• Aquatic Form: faster swimming and underwater breathing.
• Treant Form: a shapeshift for looks alone.

Haranir heritage armor is the reward of the achievement Heritage of the Haranir. You earn it on a new Haranir that reaches level 50.

• Create a new Haranir character.
• Level it to 50.

The set comes in 2 colors.

Only Haranir characters can wear it as transmog.

The same level 50 rule applies to every other allied race.

World of Warcraft has 12 allied races. You recruit each one in the game before you can play it.

The 10 races with an embassy recruitment chain follow 3 rules.

• You need a level 40 character on your account.
• At your faction's embassy in Stormwind or Orgrimmar, that character completes The Call for Allies and A Choice of Allies. These quests open each race's recruitment chain.
• A new character of any allied race starts at level 10.

Older guides that ask for Exalted reputation are out of date.

Yes, for most Midnight players. The unlock is the story you play anyway.

Druid is the best class for a Haranir, because Haranir druids get their own look for 7 forms.

Shaman is a strong 2nd pick, thanks to the root totems.

To pick a spec for Midnight, check the Midnight tier list.

The race also fits players with characters on both factions.

For heritage armor, plan your new Haranir early.
