How to Unlock Haranir in WoW Midnight: Full Questline Walkthrough

Midnight is live, the zones are gorgeous and everyone wants to play the glowing fungal people. Fair enough. The Haranir are easily the coolest allied race Blizzard has added in years and unlocking them is straightforward, but there are a few things you should know before you dive in.

What You Need Before You Start

First the bad news for anyone who rushed through Early Access: the Haranir cannot be unlocked during that window and they're not available on the March 2 launch day either. Blizzard shifted things around and the separate Haranir unlock questline only opens after the weekly reset on March 3rd. So even if you blitzed through the campaign over the weekend you're waiting for that reset before you can start the chain. You'll need an active WoW subscription with the Midnight expansion, a character who has completed the Eversong Woods storyline and access to the Scouting Map at the Sanctum of Light where three branching paths open up.

Once Eversong wraps up you'll choose between Zul'Aman, Harandar or Arator's Journey. All three are required before you can enter the Voidstorm finale, but if your priority is unlocking the Haranir head to Harandar first.

The Harandar Questline

The unlock is tied to a single achievement: Allied Race: Haranir. You earn it by completing the full Harandar zone campaign which spans three storylines.

You access Harandar by picking it from the Midnight Scouting Map at the Sanctum of Light in Silvermoon after finishing Eversong Woods. This sends you to Orweyna in Fairbreeze Village where you pick up The Root Cause, which opens a portal to Harandar at coordinates 45.34, 47.28. There are no flight paths into the zone so remember this portal location because you'll use it every time you need to come back. After completing the full storyline the portal relocates to Silvermoon City at 36.87, 68.22.

Of Caves and Cradles is the intro chapter. You're earning trust with the Hara'ti elder council by helping deal with threats in the caves beneath the root canopy. Standard quest flow: talk to NPCs, kill mobs, interact with objects. Nothing mechanically tricky here, just follow the breadcrumbs.

Call of the Goddess sends you toward the Rift of Aln and has you working alongside the Shul'ka warriors. You'll need to kill creatures crawling out of the Rift and collect alndust from them. This chapter has a few more "go here, collect X, return" loops than the first but it's still linear and the quest markers are clear.

Emergence is the longest of the three and deals with the Lightbloom crisis spreading across the zone. Expect more combat heavy quests and a couple of scripted scenario moments. By the end of this chapter you've completed the campaign.

All three chapters are designed for levels 83 to 88 and can be done entirely solo. The whole Harandar campaign takes roughly two to three hours depending on how fast you move and whether you get distracted by side content. Тhere are 15 optional Sojourner storylines in the zone but none of them count toward the unlock. Once you finish Emergence the achievement pops and you're done with the hard part.

What You Get

Once the achievement pops the Haranir become available in character creation as a neutral race, meaning you pick Horde or Alliance per character. You immediately get the Ivory Grimlynx mount, plus the Tabard of the Haranir and Haranir Militia Wear transmog set after completing the intro questline on your first Haranir. Heritage Armor (two sets: Har'alnor and Shul'ka) unlocks at level 50. Your new Haranir starts at level 10 so there's still a leveling journey ahead before they're ready for the endgame.

Best Classes for Your New Haranir

The Haranir can play 9 out of 13 classes. No Death Knights, Demon Hunters, Evokers or Paladins.

Druid is the obvious standout. You get tank, healer, melee DPS and ranged DPS in one character and the Haranir druid forms are incredible. Bat themed feral and flight forms, a pangolin inspired guardian form, an axolotl aquatic form and a treant that looks like it grew out of Harandar itself. If you rolled Haranir for the aesthetics Druid is the payoff.

Shaman is a strong second pick. Haranir get unique root themed totems and the class covers all three roles if you want flexibility. Hunter deserves a mention for the exclusive Saptor pet, a Harandar native creature that only Haranir hunters can tame. For pure DPS players Warlock and Mage both benefit from the Lash Out racial which gives bonus crit damage and healing, while Rogue pairs well with the Subterranean Predator passive for faster open world leveling.

How to Make Things Easier for Yourself

Look, the Harandar campaign is good. The story is compelling and the zone is beautiful. But if you've already done it on your main and you just want the allied race unlocked so you can start building your Haranir alt there's no reason to sit through it twice.

KingBoost's Haranir Allied Race service handles the full Harandar questline completion for you. Achievement unlocked, race available, done. And once your shiny new Haranir is created our 1-90 Powerleveling gets them to endgame before Season 1 raids drop on March 17.

Your Haranir deserves better than being stuck at level 23 when the Voidspire opens.
