Recruit-A-Friend (RAF) is a program that Blizzard implemented for World of Warcraft to give new players an easier time leveling and current players a way to bring in their friends and level alternate characters. The way it works a paying account sends out a referral to a friend and that person gets a free trial of World of Warcraft. If that person purchases the game and starts paying the subscription fee both players get triple experience as long as they level together and can summon each other. Of course the person that sent the referral gets additional perks like a free month of WoW and the exclusive Zhevra mount.
Just this week Blizzard announced that there would be a mount change in the Recruit-A-Friend program.They will be replacing the Zhevra mount which you received after doing RAF with the X-53 Touring Rocket. This is great news for mount collectors because as I mentioned before in this post, these rocket mounts are extremely rare but now there is an easy way to get one. I wish that they would upgrade the Zhevra mount to the X-53 rocket but unfortunately that won’t be happening.
If you just want the mount….
$20 – Game, no expansions. (bonus xp only works to level 60 anyway.
$42 – Three month subscription at discounted 3-month price.
.
$20 to transfer a character if you bothered to level any.
If you can play in windowed mode, and stay out of main cities most of the time, it does not take a lot of computer to mulitbox a second account on the same computer. Make a macro for /follow and only do quests that don’t involve looting a lot of crap. Fast levels are easy when teh quests give 3x the xp.
that’s actually not a bad way to get the mount if you don’t have anyone to RAF with. But why $42 for a three month subscription? It would be cheaper to just pay for a month of WoW on the other account and just not even bother leveling an alt.
I’m pretty sure I read that a 2 month subscription is required to purchase the mount. If that’s the case… then why not just purchase a game time card for $30?
Sorry, I meant to qualify for the mount, not purchase it.
I just checked and it’s three months. The new account pays for one month and the person who sent the recruitment gets credited for one month of WoW.
After that the new account needs to pay for two months of WoW for the linked account to get the mount.
