| − | One of the greatest advantages that humanity possesses is their aptitude for team work and leadership, therefore they are also well known for their skills in [[Diplomacy]].

||
| − | |||
| − | The human tenacity is one of their best traits as a race. They will continue to fight through any level of adversity. Faced with invasions by the Orcs, Burning Legion, and even the Scourge, [[The Human Spirit]] remains unconquered. This also contributes to humanity's powerful will to survive, demonstrated by the racial "[[Every Man for Himself]]" which shows a human doing anything necessary to survive and triumph over his or her foe. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Human societies tend to have more problems with crime than those of other races. This is perhaps best exemplified by the rise of the [[Defias Brotherhood|Defias]] and the [[Syndicate]], though there are plenty of small time crooks as well. To cope, humans have developed their skills of [[Perception]] ''[this racial was removed in [[Patch 4.0.1]]]''. When a human suspects something is up, they can look and listen extra carefully for hidden enemies. Other races, particularly night elves, find this odd, as humans are naturally handicapped against most known humanoid races in low-light conditions, lacking dark and low-light vision. |

Elementium is an extremely rare metal, found only in some of the most remote regions of Azeroth. It is believed by archaeologists to have been formed during the prehistoric reign of the Old Gods, in places where there were high concentrations of elemental creatures. In fact, elementium isn’t native to Azeroth, and is found only near high concentrations of elemental creatures because they bring it from the Elemental Plane where it is actually quite common. The unique properties of elementium allow it to absorb and channel elemental forces. Skilled smiths temper elementium in blistering forges, adding to the quality of the item.[1]
It was revealed that the Twilight's Hammer forged a new set of armor plates made of elementium for Deathwing.[2]
Massive elementium veins are raised out of the ground wherever the Twilight's Hammer sets up a base. As seen in concept art and in the Twilight Highlands, they build their buildings by raising these veins.
Items
There are various obtainable items associated with elementium, only one of which (
[Enchanted Elementium Bar]) is player-crafted. The rest are either created by NPC's from elementium ore or bars you supply, or appear (from the name and/or tooltip) to be created at least partly with elementium. Notice that whenever something is made with elementium, it is always quite extraordinary and/or expensive.

Ever since all craftsmen adapted the use of these materials in various of their plans, schematics, patterns and recipes.
Patch Changes
- Patch 4.0.3a (2010-11-23): Elementium will be the new uncommon mineral found when mining in Cataclysm, and can contain gems, [Volatile Fire], [Volatile Water], or [Volatile Earth]. The items currently named Elementium Ore and Elementium Bar will be renamed to [Elementium Ingot] and [Enchanted Elementium Bar].[3]
- Patch 1.6.0 (2005-07-12): Elementium Ore now drops in Blackwing Lair, and can be smelted into Elementium Bars.
