Battle for Azeroth Allied Races Guide (BfA 8.1.5)

The Dark Iron Dwarves can be unlocked by completing the Alliance War Campaign which involves getting Exalted with the 7th Legion and completing the achievement Ready for War. Ready for War is what you will be naturally progressing on as you complete footholds into enemy territories and acquire reputation with the 7th Legion. As reputation is gained with the 7th Legion, additional quests unlock which will allow for completion of the non-foothold portions of Ready for War.

• Foothold Nazmir, Foothold Voldun, and Foothold Zulduzar can be completed during the leveling process at Level 112, 114, and 118 (in any order).
• Blood on the Sand is available at Level 120 and has no reputation gating.
• Chasing Darkness requires 4,500/6,000 reputation in Friendly status with the 7th Legion
• A Golden Opportunity requires 3,000/12,000 reputation in Honored status with the 7th Legion.
• Blood in the Water requires 7,500/12,000 reputation in Honored status with the 7th Legion.
• The Strike on Zuldazar requires 1/21,000 reputation in Revered status with the 7th Legion.

After completing The Strike on Zuldazar, you will earn the Ready for War achievement, acquire your 5th mission table champion, and have only Exalted reputation to go. For those wanting to unlock the Dark Iron Dwarves quickly, you should complete as many world quests as possible, especially the 7th Legion Emissary when available. Using your mission table to acquire 7th Legion reputation commendations will speed up the process towards Exalted as well.
