Recruit a Friend – How It Works WoW

Hi all again,
This is not a bot, emulator, hack or some kind of exploit. I would like to give all the new players that are searching the web a possibility to get into the game faster with my help as a elder in this game :) write me an email or comment this post with your details and i will invite you!!! :) Only 20 invitations left... So be quick :) Now lets see how it works:

This is copy of official Blizzard Recruit a Friend post.

Recruit a Friend referral system allows you to send friends and family members Starter Edition activation keys for World of Warcraft via email.  With these keys, those whom you refer will be able to set up their own Starter Edition accounts completely free of charge.  With this, Starter Edition accounts created through your referral will become linked with your account.  This link will open up a number of benefits for characters on both the veteran and recruit account, including increased experience, character summoning, and level granting!  More information on Recruit a Friend can be found here.

Basics

How do I use Recruit a Friend?

Log into Battle.net and select the World of Warcraft account you wish to use to recruit your friend. On the Game Management page, select the Referrals and Rewards button, then click Recruit a Friend. This will take you to the Recruit a Friend referral page where you can enter a friend's email address and name. If you'd like, you can also enter a message that will be included in the invitation email.

If you wish to recruit a friend or family member, you must possess an active World of Warcraft account. Starter Edition accounts may not recruit additional accounts until fully upgraded.

You can also review the video below for a visual walkthrough of the process:

How soon will I be linked to my recruit's account?

The link between the veteran and recruit account will be established as soon as your friend or family member registers their Recruit a Friend Authentication Key and activates their Starter Edition account.

How long will I be linked to my recruit(s)?

The link between the veteran and recruit account will last for 90 days from the date that the recruited account is created.

Remember: For the link to work properly, your recruit must create a new World of Warcraft account using the Starter Edition key in your invitation email.

Limitations & Eligibility

Does this promotion only apply to new subscribers? Can I recruit someone using a Scroll of Resurrection?

This promotion is valid only for those accounts referred and created after 08/05/08 who were sent an Authentication Key via a Recruit a Friend invitation email. It may not be used to revive an inactive account. If you’d like to invite a friend to return to the game, you may use the Scroll of Resurrection.

When my friend or family member upgrades from a Starter Edition account to a full version of the game, will that break the link between the accounts?

Nope! The accounts will remain linked for 90 days regardless of which box level your recruit is using. Your recruit will need to upgrade to a full version of the game if they wish to level past 20.

Benefits

What in-game benefits will linked accounts receive?

• Recruit and veteran characters can summon one another to each other's locations across the globe.
• While adventuring with your linked friend or family member, you will each gain triple experience while partied up to level 80, as long as your characters are within 4 levels of each other.
• For every two levels the recruit's characters earn, one grantable level is gained. Recruit characters may then grant these levels to the veteran player's character as long as the character is lower in level than the level granting character.

Note: In-game benefits will only be available while an account link is active.

If I transfer a character with unused grantable levels to another realm, will that character get to keep them?

No. Unclaimed levels are not moved during a character copy or transfer. Be sure to use them before you transfer.

How do I summon a friend?

While partied, simply right-click your target's portrait and select Summon Friend. You may also summon your friend through the Social tab by clicking on the icon next your target's name within your Friends List.

Are there any limits on when and where I can summon my friend?

You may summon your recruit's character once every half hour; recruit characters may also summon you on a half hour cooldown. Although the ability to be summoned ceases at level 81, characters of this level or above may still summon their friends as long as the summoning target is level 80 or lower. Characters on accounts which are not WotLK-enabled may not be summoned to WotLK-specific zones. These include the Death Knight starting area, as well as the whole of Northrend.

Do I always gain triple experience while I am linked to my recruit?

No. In order to receive triple experience, you must be partied with a character on a linked account and within 100 yards of one another. With this, both characters (veteran and recruit) must be present for each kill and quest completion.

Also, should monsters or quests be marked as "Low Level" or listed as gray in difficulty for either character, triple experience will not apply.

Is quest experience tripled, too?

Yes, but only if both veteran and recruit characters are present for quest completion and if the monster or quest is not marked as "Low Level" (typically gray in difficulty, though sometimes green) for either linked character.

Do our characters (my character and my recruit's character) have to be same level in order to receive triple experience?

No, but you must be within 4 levels of one another and meet all other triple experience requirements in order for both characters to receive the experience boost.  For example, your characters can be levels 5 and 9 and earn the bonus, but characters at levels 5 and 10 will not earn it.

How can I tell if I'm receiving triple experience?

Triple experience will be noted in your Combat Log as follows:

"Player gains 'X' experience ('Y' exp Refer-A-Friend bonus)"

The X value represents the total amount of experience gained, while the Y value represents how much extra experience is gained as a result of the Recruit a Friend promotion. For example, if a monster is normally worth 25 experience and you kill it while partied and eligible for triple experience, your Combat Log entry will appear as "Player gains 75 experience (50 exp Refer-A-Friend bonus)".

What if I'm partied with multiple recruits with whom I'm linked? Do I get quadruple or quintuple the experience?

No. Although you may be linked with multiple accounts, the maximum increase you can receive at any given time is 300%.

Will the experience bonus apply to only one character? Are all characters linked to the account eligible to receive it?

Triple experience is only applied to the character that earned it. However, all characters below level 80 on both the veteran and recruit accounts are eligible to receive the experience bonus.

How does this affect rested experience?

If characters are ineligible for triple experience, normal experience rules apply and rested experience will be consumed. Rested experience, however, will not be used while triple experience is active.

Is reputation increased, as well?

Yes, though only by 10%. Bonus reputation will only come from monster kills that normally grant reputation. Reputation from quests does not receive this bonus.

Bonus reputation can only be earned when you would also be granted triple experience.

At what point do experience and reputation bonuses end?

Characters will no longer be eligible for triple experience and increased reputation gain once they reach level 80 or when the account link breaks after 90 days.

If I transfer a character to a recruit or veteran account, will that character then be eligible for both experience and reputation bonuses?

Yes, if the character is below level 80 and meets the other criteria listed above.
