The Gilgoblin/Kelfin Megathread

They would have made a great playable neutral allied race in 11.1.X

I think I thanked you already for making this thread. I’m still supportive of gilgoblins. Its just that its hard to be super motivated these days since while I am hopeful, at times it feel kind of like a lost cause. I don’t want to be doom and gloom about it. Just that so many requested races never really get added.

If the Kelfin do become playable, I would prefer them as a Horde race. The Alliance should get the Ankoan.

Considering that they are on shores of Durotar, they would almost certainly be horde.

Kelfin should be Horde. No doubt. They also should be an Allied Race not customization.

Ankoan would make a fine Alliance race to be paired with them.

Agreed, both sides would get something pretty cool that way.

For anyone wanting a transmog fitting of a gilgoblin, I want point that I love these pearl bracelets they came out with. And they also came out with a shell and clam back item not long ago, but I can’t link. However those are from the trading post.

Double you. Tea. Eef is thaaaaat thing?!

I wouldn’t sleep with that in game. I may not sleep tonight having seen it today.

It reminds me a lot of the Kobyss Helm we see in game now. But the artist was going for heritage armor.

Blizzard has announced a Midnight deep dive along with a live Q&A afterwards on October 1st:

I went ahead and asked a question for the Kelfin megathread here:

ā€œSince Azshara is still out there, the Unshackled and Ankoan kinda owe the Horde and Alliance big time for saving them, and the Unshackled have been hanging out on the shores of Durotar since BfA ended, any chance we could see either groups helping out against the impending Void threat?ā€

The Unshackled are there on the shores of Durotar and we kinda left them abruptly in BfA, so I wanted to make sure that they aren’t forgotten and kinda owe us for helping them out. Moreso since Azshara is still out there and likely doing some very dubious deeds and such that can’t be good for us.

I did try to ask questions for playable race request megathreads that would have a vested interest in the next expansion. It’s usually what I try to do with these Q&A threads. Unfortunately, I’m unable to do that with every playable race request megathread, usually if I can’t tie them to an expansion.

Still, I wanted to try to give who I could a chance to have a question asked and show interest for that race to become playable, so for any I missed, I do apologize in advance and if anyone can think of any questions for the megathreads I missed, please post as well.

If anything of particular interest does come from the Q&A, I’ll be sure to post about it, but it’s best to keep an open mind. Especially since there are plenty of great questions in there.

What would kelfin racials be besides water breathing?

Well, probably some sort of profession based racial like most races have. Since they’re known for nets and things either a tailoring one or maybe a fishing one?

I’d give them a Unshackled power where they summon either a Sea Giant or a Mukrakrararara what ever they’re called to assist them for a moment.

I’m sure I could think of a few more if I tried.

I was so stupid to forget fishing.

Bah, we all forget fishing once in awhile. It’s so… Meager compared to other possessions professions these days.

What races Should become playable! appeared in my YouTube recommended and the Kelfin were included.

Yea. I am really surprised but happy they included gilgoblins in there since they started out the video by saying that they felt we should get more unique races rather then variants, but gilblins are unique enough to differentiate themselves from goblins. Culturally too.

PS: I added a link from the old thread to this new one in case anyone looks that up. Just for easy navigation sake.

I would like playable Kelfin, I find them more appealing than goblins.

I do love my goblins but I will say the Kelfin also appeal to me a lot more.

I really like the shark looking noises on male kelfin.

Look man, if you get ahold of a body you don’t get to be picky about what it looks like.
