Haranir customization and heritage armor

Searches for Haranir customization and heritage armor often mix official previews with datamined placeholders. Use previews for inspiration, but do not treat unreleased skin tones, hairstyles, armor sets or color names as final until they are selectable in-game or documented by Blizzard.

  • Confirmed: Link each option to an official preview or live character-creation screen.
  • Unconfirmed: Label datamined assets and record the patch build they came from.
  • Practical tip: Recheck this section after every Midnight PTR or live patch.
