As a nomadic race, I could see the vulpera not needing their own town.
But it would be nice if they got one. Maybe establishing the place is their recruitment story?

Pretty much this they can just park anywhere in or outside of Orgrimar and theyâd be set the advantages of having a mobile home I suppose.

I donât expect theyâd need more more than a vendor/NPC or two in Ogrimmar, honestly. I think the small clusters of allied races hanging out in Kul Tiras/Zandalar are actually kind of nice and about as much as is needed.

As they are scavengers, I imagine something related to Archeology or mining / prospecting / jewelry and some survival and trade skills!

They may have a little alchemy to work with too since a lot of their WQ have you collecting mats for Kiro heck their intro had you tossing very volatile flasks at the Faithless.

The one thing Vulpera donât seem to ascribe value to is written information. Kiro suggests just tossing out a journal, (though meerah keeps it) and Vulpera donât seem to write anything down. I donât see them having an archaeology bonus.
If they were to get a trade skill bonus, I think it would be a kind of jack of all trades kind of this where they get +5 to all gathering or something

A gathering profession or Alchemy would be my guess for tradeskill bonuses.
Maybe a +5 to Herbalism and +5 to Alchemy since they seem to have a knack for those during the Volâdun questing.

Iâm actually kind of hoping they donât just give them a skilled bonus as that seems to be one of the cheapest types of Racials. They always seemed kind of pointless to me, as they donât seem to provide any real major benefit long term Even if you take that skill.
His posterior.
You mean the Tushui almost killed Shen-zin Su by doing nothing. The Houjin way saved his life. Removing the crashed boat, healing the wound afterâŚyeah, all Jiâs ideas. And lookâŚthe turtle is still happily paddling around the ocean with his panda friends to this day. Aysa couldnât be bothered to do anything but stand around being pissy with him.
Anyway, sorry for veering off-topic, but every time I see someone trying to paint Ji as the villain in that situation I have to brush them up on what actually happened because they clearly didnât experience it for themselves.

to be fair, Aysaâs solution wasnât to âdo nothing,â it was to think, then act. Ji never gave Aysa time to think about a solution, she was too busy trying to stop him from doing something rash before considering the results.
Ji: âIâM GONNA DO THE THING!â
Aysa: âDonât do the thing, it might kill him!â
Ji: âNOPE, DOING THE THING!â
Aysa: âWhy would you do the thing!? Now heâs dying!â
Ji: âQUICK! WE NEED TO UN-DIE HIM!â
Aysa: âWow, weâre really fortunate that worked.â

The fact that people even debate whether ji or aysa was right speaks volumes about true differences of philosophy.
Back on racial bonuses though, I agree profession skill bonuses are pretty dull but it seems like every race gets one. We can only hope it comes with something interesting attached to it like chance to find additional drops, reduced gathering time, or maybe something unique like âchance to find additional unrelated crafting materialsâ
It might seem weird to find some leather in a mining node but I canât think of anything that would make me feel more like a vulpera than dumping into the auction house all the bonus mats not related to my profession I manage to scavenge in my travels

He was NEVER the villian. Brash and rash certainly.
I have many Pandaren characters.
Back on topic, anyone think thereâs a chance Vulpera could be druids?

interesting that they can swim backwards⌠that sounds like a playable race to me.

Druids are⌠âunlikelyâ, though not impossible. The reasons as such are two fold:
One is that like a LOT of potential classes, we havenât seen any vulpera NPCs with an affinity for druidism. This doesnât mean that they canât be hiding, or theyâll gain some skill through newfound connections to a wild god or some other plot weâll get between now and their release date. But it does mean that at the moment, there is no evidence.
The second is more technical in that making a druid class is a lot more of an investment than just flagging the PC table and making sure leather helmets fit. Druid classes need druid forms and weâve not datamined anything that looks like a vulpera druid form. Once again, itâs possible theyâve been working on these forms in the time since they cracked down on the datamining many months ago, but again, we have no evidence.
So the best we can say is: âItâs unlikely because we have no evidenceâ
But that doesnât mean itâs impossible.

I can dream âŚ
Once incursions are up, Iâll get around to levelling my Horde shaman to 120 so Iâll be ready.
Like to imagine? its easy to envision a Vulpera Druid with Fox inspired forms since it would work off the Gilnaen Worgen forms a base then add Fox details to them, in reality it also means they need to do alot of work and weâre already seeing a highly customized Zandalari Druid forms to act like Dinomancer more then Druid then we have Death/Drust Druid forms coming with Kulâtirans which while theyâre skins on the normal forms theyâre very very detailed ones already, Highmountain Tauren still lack Antlers on Boomkin sadly but other forms least didntâ take a super amount of effort.
so Vulpera forms seem unlikely for Druids to be honest from a logical standpoint, donât take this as me not supporting them cause i think it would be cool tbh.
The 8.2 ptr canât arrive fast enough.
At least with 8.1 launching this week we might get to start digging into an 8.1.5 patch soon
**shakes Blizzard into a whiplash
You Have Not Announced Vulpera Allied Race Yet! Why is this? At least confirm or deny it already!
