WoW: The War Within Patch 11.0.7 Adding Unexpected Character Customizations

Key Takeaways

  • World of Warcraft Patch 11.0.7 adds Arathi ear options for Humans and Kul Tirans, with no unlock requirements.
  • Patch 11.0.7 release date is unclear. It might come early in 2025, with more details at the Warcraft Direct on November 13.

As a seasoned World of Warcraft gamer with over a decade under my belt, I can confidently say that the upcoming Patch 11.0.7 is shaping up to be quite intriguing. The addition of Arathi ear customizations for both Humans and Kul Tirans is an unexpected yet welcome change, especially since they seem to require no additional unlock requirements.

In an upcoming patch, or version 11.0.7, of World of Warcraft, players can anticipate the inclusion of Arathi-style ear customizations for both Human and Kul Tiran characters. These unanticipated character modification possibilities are slated to debut in the next content update for World of Warcraft, which is expected to be released around early 2025.

Even though Blizzard has just rolled out Patch 11.0.5 in World of Warcraft, they’ve already given fans a sneak peek at Patch 11.0.7. In this upcoming content update, players can expect the introduction of a new zone called Siren Isle, along with the long-awaited Stormcrow mount that WoW enthusiasts have been eager to gather for over a decade.

Additionally, this update includes some unanticipated character customization elements too. New sharp-eared options inspired by Arathi of Hallowfall are being incorporated for Human and Kul Tiran characters of all body types. It appears that these new ear options can be selected without any extra unlock conditions once the update is live. Players will find these options during character creation or at the Barber Shop to personalize their characters accordingly.

Arathi Ear Customizations in WoW Patch 11.0.7

The Hallowfall Arathi are among the four prominent factions within the game “World of Warcraft: The War Within“. Originating from the ancient Arathi Empire in the Eastern Kingdoms, these people trace their ancestry to both Humans and High Elves, which results in them having slightly pointed ears. The Arathi often employ a mix of Human and Kul Tiran designs, while some infrequently use Blood Elf models with the shortest ear options available. In earlier versions, similar ears for Blood Elves and Void Elves were found, but they do not seem to be incorporated in this latest update.

Fans were taken aback to learn that they would receive these character customization features immediately. While it was thought that Blizzard might eventually introduce them – perhaps when players face the new Arathi Empire in World of Warcraft – few believed they’d arrive so quickly, and without any prerequisites. With these customizations, fans who want to create characters with a blend of Elven and Human lineage, like Arator, Faerin, or Kalecgos’ appearance, will now have more choices than before.

Currently, there’s no set release date for Patch 11.0.7, but given its previous update frequency, we might see it sometime soon. Typically, eight weeks after the last update would put us around December 17th. However, considering the time of year and the absence of Patch 11.0.7 in last year’s roadmap, it seems more likely that it will arrive early next year. This assumption is strengthened by the announcement that World of Warcraft will be bringing back Plunderstorm around the same time. Fans can look forward to more details at the Warcraft Direct on November 13th, with the patch itself landing on the World of Warcraft Public Test Realm a week earlier, on October 31st.
