how to unlock nightborne shadowlands pre patch

If you're looking to get a leg up on the competition in World of Warcraft's upcoming expansion, Shadowlands, you may want to consider unlocking the new Nightborne allied race. Luckily, doing so is relatively straightforward, though it will require completing a few tasks first.

To start, you'll need to have a level 120 character on the WoW account you wish to unlock Nightborne for. You'll also need to have completed the Battle for Azeroth storyline, including the final quest "A Choice of Allies." Once you have those requirements out of the way, head to Zandalar or Kul Tiras and talk to half-elf quest giver, Rapalah. She will direct you to pick up a quest called "Your Next Lesson," which takes place in Stormwind.

This quest will see you speaking with multiple different NPCs in an effort to find out more about the Nightborne. Once you've completed the quest chain, you'll be directed to head to Suramar, the Nightborne starting zone. There, you'll be able to create your new Nightborne character.

One thing to keep in mind is that, as of right now, the process to unlock the Nightborne is only available on WoW's Public Test Realm. So if you want to get a head start on everyone else, you'll need to create a PTR account and follow the steps above on that server.
