Starting level10

FactionAlliance

Model keyVoidElf

Read from ChrRaces in the current retail client build. The name forms, starting level and model key are the client's own fields; the portraits and body model are the client's own art; the racials come from the client's "Racial" skill line.

Racial Abilities (6)

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

What Each Racial Does

Chill of Night
Reduces Shadow damage taken by 1%.
Entropic Embrace
Your abilities have a chance to empower you with the essence of the Void, causing your damage and healing effects to deal an additional 5% as Shadowfrost for 12 sec. Within Voidstorm, Entropic Embrace's duration is doubled.
Ethereal Connection
Reduces the cost of Transmogrification by 50%.
Preternatural Calm
Your spell casts are not delayed by taking damage.
Spatial Rift
Tear a rift in space. Reactivate this ability to teleport through the rift. Within Voidstorm, Spatial Rift's cooldown is reduced by 120 seconds.

5 of the 6 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 Mage as this race's default class, which is the specialization the character creator lands on before you touch anything.
Azeroth's bestiary files Void Elf under the Humanoid creature type, the same classification the game uses on every NPC that shares the body.

Appearance Options

The character creator ships 19 distinct appearance options for Void Elf, 16 on Body Type 1 and 18 on Body Type 2, worth 362 individual settings between them.
Body Type 1 alone carries 177 of those settings.
Body Type 2 alone carries 185 of those settings.
Skin Color is the widest single slider at 32 settings.
Body Type 1 is the only one with Facial Hair.
Body Type 2 is the only one with Earrings, Jewelry Color and Blindfold Color.
Both bodies share Face, Skin Color, Hair Style, Hair Color, Eye Color, Secondary Skin Color, Horns, Secondary Hair Color, Blindfold, Ears, Tentacles and Eyesight.

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 Void Elf

Void Elf 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: Void Elf: Earn the allegiance of the void elves and welcome them into the Alliance. 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 Void Elf

Our rated PvP crawl currently holds 13,765 Void Elf characters, the 6th largest of the 26 races it has seen.
The classes they play most are Priest (3,444, 25%), Warlock (3,177, 23%), Mage (2,023, 15%), Demon Hunter (1,978, 14%) and Hunter (841, 6%).
9 different classes appear on Void Elf characters in that sample.
The body split across those characters is 65% female and 35% male.
In the Mythic Plus crawl, 818 ranked runs were set by Void Elf characters, the deepest key among them a plus 18 and the best Mythic Plus rating 3,564.

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.
