Dorfs would be the correct answer.
See this video for reference:
Their racial is near bottom tier as far as best racials go for PvE. The only thing really going for them is the camp racial and theyâre âcuteâ.
But, Iâm here for Warcraft, not Squirrelcraft.
I would, say it is more spoken word versus instead of written / traditional written word records. It feels that it is based on by spoken accounts / word of mouth by remembering and searching the up zones quests.
Given that there is a very heavy Travlers / Roma/Romani influence given to their (what little there is) lore; and their aspect of intelligence would be measured on if there is a singular tale they share and how often it gets changed through their NPCs - though Tuaren do the same, they also document things down on hides while using the spoken word as teachings / lessons.
This would require a lot of work and would be mind boggling numbing long task. The best focus would be to focus on similarities they share with other races in key aspects.
They would probably be just under the intellect of gnome / goblin intelligence.
I would say near equal to them, but they seem to have less lore/history transcribed and focus more on spoken word for teaching / learning their history and lessons, were instead their written word is for contracts, contacts and lists of goods (found, pilfered/stolen, bought).
Their brilliance / records of achievements would be similar aspect. Spoken - not written. As actual serious âSource; just trust me bro.â moments. Were as with Vulpera, they have trophies for their records to show - be it physical, or multiple witnesses detailing the same account with little to no alterations (again, a daunting task for one to search for). Though not showing any real notion of their brilliance being not written down, this aspect does require a certain aspect of âsmartsâ to maintain that much level of experience and survival.
Somewhere along the lines of smarts, in a sense, using the most basics as examples here - not stating they are pure fact, but just as an example for comparisons;
Book Smarts: becoming old-fashioned, often âhaving a lot of academic knowledge learned from books and studying, but not necessarily knowing much about people and living in the real world.
Street Smarts: having the experience and knowledge necessary to deal with the potential difficulties or dangers of life in an urban environment.
Life Smart: Being life smart is having the ability to assess situations and then take action accordingly. A doctorate canât take the place of real-life experiences combined with the powers of imagination, motivation, and action.
Hands on Learning: term for experiential learning, where individuals immerse themselves in a subject to learn.
-
Gnomes would be more keen to being mostly Book Smart (50%) and leaning hard towards Hands On Learning (25%) and Life Smart (25%).
-
Goblins would be a large chunk of Life Smart (70%) with experience and knowledge on how to utilize Book Smarts (10%) to get a desired required outcome for profit by Hands of Learning (5%) and exploitation through Street Smarts (15%) equally among friend and foe alike.
-
Vulpera would be a near even split of Street (49%) and Life Smart (50%), were Hands on Learning (0.5%), and Book Smarts (0.5%) would be less than a fraction each if given in percentages (they know how to read and write, but it may leave one exposed to attack, or worse a trail back to their caravan, so best to memorize and destroy evidence).
While all other races do fit within these basic âcommon knowledge Smartsâ tropes, they all would be more generally well balanced and more logical in the aspects of not heavily leaning into the extremes elements that make them stand out like is seen between Gnomes, Goblins and Vulpera. As such, the other races would have other levels of intelligence and experience that are not seen between these three.
The outlier would truly be Mechagnomes as they would be all of the âSmartâ tropes at 100% due to the extreme nature they willingly place themselves through for the sake of greater knowledge and experiences (Both Allied; Rustbolts and Mobs).
Edit: Math hard apparentlyâŚ

The Tribble was a fuzzy creature shaped like a softball but with fir. It appeared on Star Trek TOS (The Original Series) in the late 1960s.
They got into the works and gummed things up but it was all played for laughs.

Sethrak are both smarter AND wiser than Vulpera.
Literally stronger use of Arcana and priest magic. Yes the Vulpera can be a cool cat with those classes. You donât see either tremendously represented in game though.
Vulpera are the second place âmost playedâ race in all of wow history behind blood elves who are getting new customizations every other weekâŚ
UwU wiww be assimiwwated, Weesistance iw fuwwutile :3
(also make camp is the most powerful racial ability in the game)

Why would I want to change anyoneâs mind about something they like thatâs not hurting anyone?
That being said there are filthy little mite ridden rodents that need to be eradicated

Yeah, it seems potent in dungeons, even if dwarf is kind of op.
No it isnât. It has a fire resistance racial. Unless youâre talking about it actually being able to survive the fire, in which case, I guess youâre right.
It is true that no other race, faction, being, have fought demons as the Lightforged Draenei did, even the Orcs and/or Demon Hunters look like soft mushrooms in comparison.

This is what I wanted since the start, to bake in the HMT, LFD, DID, Magâhar, MGnomes, and Zandalari into the core races. (I didnât add KT into this due to how different their model is.)
Imagine having regular limbs with head augments on MG, or a hunched zandalari with body/face paint. Or an upright darkspear, or maybe a slightly more bulky(like zandalari) hunched darkspear.
And yes, Mechagnomes could have been with a toggle for the limbs, itâs not that crazy.
And the zandalari would work since they are just a little altered troll model, literally just be a posture option like with the orcs, and a separate option for slightly more bulk in their model, like the new Dracthyr has shown they can do.
No this is not correct, the zandalari is actually a troll rig they added slight bulk to and made upright. The NPC zandalari from MoP is based on night elves, but not the BFA ones.
Vulpera are a good race. But clearly the dwarf race is the best. We are stout and have the manliest beards!
Your nerd card has been revoked.
Our beard covers our entire body while yours stops at the face. So ours is bigger and more glorious, bwahahaha
Youâve obviously have not seen a naked dwarf. Also, since you can get lost in the glory that is my chin hair, then clearly we are the victors and are far more worthy to be called the best race!
