Heritage armor sets are cosmetic rewards unique to each playable race. Their cosmetic nature means they are transmoggable over any armor type, from plate to cloth. The set is unlocked account-wide, and can be worn or transmogged by any character of the armor's race.
How to unlock
Allied races can unlock their set by leveling an allied race character to level 50 without the use of the Recruit-A-Friend extra level bonus, Character Boost, Race Change, or Faction Change services.
Core races can unlock their set by earning Exalted reputation with their respective racial faction on any max level character, and completing a short racial questline. To unlock the tauren heritage armor, the quest Stay of Execution must also be completed.

Notes
- Unlike other heritage armor sets, the Heritage of the Mag'har set comes in multiple recolors to represent the different orcish clans.
- The blood elf and worgen heritage sets come with a pants and robe version.
- In a May 2019 interview, Morgan Day indicated that goblin and worgen heritage armors would be released alongside those races' model updates in patch 8.2.5.[1] In August, however, Community Manager Kaivax clarified that no new heritage armor questlines would be added in 8.2.5[2] and that the sets would come in a later patch.[3] On October 7th, the sets were confirmed as coming in patch 8.3.[4]
- The Heritage of the Vulpera is the only allied race heritage armor that is not received in the allied race's starting zone nor from their leader. Instead of from Kiro in the Valley of Honor, vulpera receive their armor from Hagashi at the Vulpera Hideaway.
