World of Warcraft Reveals When Earthen Will Be Playable in The War Within

Key Takeaways

  • The final chapters of the endgame campaign to unlock the Earthen will become available in World of Warcraft on September 3.
  • Despite some initial mixed reception to the Earthen, players have begun to warm up to the new allied race in World of Warcraft: The War Within.

As a seasoned World of Warcraft gamer who’s been around since the days of Vanilla, I must say that the anticipation for the Earthen allied race has been both exhilarating and trying. The initial reveal had me intrigued, but the delayed release left me scratching my beard in slight frustration. However, having delved deep into the lore of The War Within, I can’t help but feel a sense of excitement as we inch closer to September 3.


In the latest update, it’s been disclosed that players can secure the new Earthen faction in “The War Within” starting September 3. While some World of Warcraft enthusiasts were anticipating to acquire this new race during the early access period, they will need to hold off a bit longer before crafting their Earthen characters.

In this latest update, titled “The War Within“, which marks the beginning of the Worldsoul saga as the 10th expansion for “World of Warcraft“, a wealth of fresh content has been unveiled. Among the many reasons to be thrilled about this expansion, one standout feature is the introduction of the Earthen – the indigenous stone dwarves residing on the continent of Khaz Algar, and the newest addition to “World of Warcraft“‘s roster of allied races.

Now, World of Warcraft has revealed exactly when players can fulfill the requirements to unlock this new allied race. In order to play as an Earthen, one must finish the story of The War Within, including its max-level campaign, and complete three side story questlines that explore their culture further. However, the final chapters of the endgame campaign are not yet available in the game. On the official WoW forum, community manager Kaivax confirmed the last part of this campaign will become available on September 3, allowing fans to finally unlock the Earthen.

How to Unlock Earthen in WoW: The War Within

  • Complete the campaign, including the quests at the level cap of WoW: The War Within.
    • The final chapter becomes available on September 3.
  • Complete the following side storylines:
    • Mourning Rise – starts with From Before I Depart from Korgran on the Isle of Dorn, ends with The Weight of Duty.
    • Broken Tools – starts with Discarded and Broken from Machinist Kitten in the Ringing Deeps, ends with Reforged Purpose.
    • Merrix and Steelvein – starts with How Scandalous! from Aldra in Dornoga, ends with Bad Business.

Initially, the Earthen were met with varying opinions upon their introduction, particularly as a Horde race. However, over time, more players have grown fond of this new ally. This change is largely attributed to the captivating storyline presented in “The War Within“, which players will encounter while meeting the requirements for unlock – not forgetting the delightful dances they introduce into World of Warcraft.

Some gamers are unhappy because they now have to postpone their creation of an Earthen for a longer period. Initially, the new race ally was promised as an early access bonus, so fans who expected it sooner were disheartened when it wasn’t released until nearly two weeks later in “World of Warcraft.” However, players can utilize this time to complete all other necessary tasks. By doing so, they will be ready on September 3rd to become among the first Earthen to appear from the Awakening Machine.
