Racial Abilities (8)

Each one is a real spell in the current build. The client groups them as Racial - Earthen, where every rank and its tooltip lives.

6 of the 7 racial abilities the client teaches this race carry tooltip text in the current build. The rest are passive hooks with no description of their own.

In the Character Creator

The client's own ChrRaces row names Warrior as this race's default class, which is the specialization the character creator lands on before you touch anything.
Azeroth's bestiary files Earthen under the Humanoid creature type, the same classification the game uses on every NPC that shares the body.

Appearance Options

The character creator ships 18 distinct appearance options for Earthen, 18 on Body Type 1 and 18 on Body Type 2, worth 308 individual settings between them.
Body Type 1 alone carries 155 of those settings.
Body Type 2 alone carries 153 of those settings.
Eye Color is the widest single slider at 22 settings.
Both bodies share Skin Color, Belt, Beard Style, Hair Style, Face, Gem Color, Hair Color, Eye Color, Eyesight, Horn Style, Hand FX and Eyebrows.

Counted from the client's own ChrCustomizationOption and ChrCustomizationChoice records for this race's models. Blizzard labels the two records Body Type 1 and Body Type 2 in the creator itself.

Unlocking Earthen

Earthen is one of the client's allied races, which means the race is earned on an existing account rather than offered at the start.
The achievement that opens it is Allied Races: Earthen: Complete the War Within storylines listed below. It is worth 10 achievement points.
Blizzard's own recruitment line reads: Then visit the Stormwind Embassy to recruit this Allied Race.

Who Is Playing Earthen

Our rated PvP crawl currently holds 1,211 Earthen characters, the 24th largest of the 26 races it has seen.
The classes they play most are Shaman (307, 25%), Paladin (298, 25%), Warrior (126, 10%), Priest (110, 9%) and Monk (107, 9%).
9 different classes appear on Earthen characters in that sample.
The body split across those characters is 83% male and 17% female.
In the Mythic Plus crawl, 96 ranked runs were set by Earthen characters, the deepest key among them a plus 13 and the best Mythic Plus rating 2,715.

These are counts from our own rated PvP and Mythic Plus crawls, last refreshed 2026-09-20. They say who is playing the race right now. They are not the character creator's list of allowed classes: the client keeps that in CharBaseInfo, which this datamine does not carry, so a class missing from the list above only means nobody in the sample is playing it.
