Race Change

A Race Change is a paid service that was first available on October 27, 2009. Characters can change their race for $25 (USD) but not the faction. This service is also available to Classic branch characters.

• The character must be a least level 10.
• Changing to an Allied Race requires you to reach level 20 or above and will not unlock Heritage Armor.
• Death Knights must be level 60 or above.
• Pending Name Changes, Appearance Changes, or Character Transfers prevent the purchase of a Race Change.

• Each Race Change includes an Appearance Change and optional Name Change services. If you choose a new character name, other players cannot use the old name on the realm for 30 days. You can create a new character with the old name within that time if you want to keep it.
• The reputation level associated with the character's previous race is switched with that of the character's new race. All other reputations are unaffected.
• Note: Allied Race reputations are neutral. Converting to or from an Allied Race will have no effect on those reputation levels.
• The character's Armory profile will eventually reflect the changes.

• Equipment, Inventory, and Currencies—some quest items will not carry over.
• Talents, Glyphs, and Professions
• Mount, Pet, and Toy Collections
• Achievements and Titles
• Quests
• Flight points
• Friend and Ignore lists
• Guild Affiliation

Note: Certain race-specific quests may remain on the character, despite being impossible to complete

• It was officially announced in early September 2009.
• Despite race change aspects of the Faction Change service, the mechanisms are different.
