World of Warcraft’s Recruit a Friend system has been around for quite some time. Blizzard gives us unique reward for bringing our friends to play World of Warcraft.

But what is the WoW RaF (Recruit a Friend)? Is it even worth it? Well, exactly these questions we here at Battle-Shout want to answer for you in this World of Warcraft RECRUIT A FRIEND GUIDE.

WoW What is RAF? (Explained)

Have you ever had this one friend you needed to convince to do something? It was a piece of work sometimes wasn’t it. This is something that Blizzard picked up on. Everybody has some friends that need a little extra convincing.

This caused Blizzard to come up with a great idea. The idea is to reward you and your friend for bringing your friends into World of Warcraft. This is possible up to 10 recruitments!

WoW Is RAF even worth it? (Solved)

Yes it’s massively worth it to recruit your friends into World of Warcraft.

If you are asking yourself: “What are the benefits of Recruit a Friend WoW?”. When your friend adds a month of game time, you get rewarded. There are multiple rewards for the recruiter that grow as long as your friend remains subscribed. These rewards start from month 1 to 12:

  1. Rikki’s Pith Helmet. This grants us “Rikki” (Pet)
  2. 1 Month Game Time
  3. Reins of the Explorer’s Dunetrekker. This grants us the Mount “Explorer’s Dunetrekker”

  4. Explorer’s Certification which rewards us with the title “Renowned Explorer”
  5. 1 Month Game Time
  6. Illusion: Stinging Sands which lets our weapon look as if it’s sandy
  7. Renowned Eplorer’s Tabarb which is pretty awesome looking 
  8. 1 Month Game Time
  9. Keys to the Explorer’s Jungle Hopper which is a 2 seater mount to take a friend on a journey.

  10. Renowned Explorer’s Rucksack. It’s a pretty cool transmog for your back.
  11. 1 Month Game Time
  12. Ensemble: Renowned Explorer’s Attire. This is a brilliant looking transmog set. It’s fire!

  13. And to top this off. You get after these rewards a 1 Month Subscription every three months your friend adds game time. How awesome is that?
