A party of friends adventuring together in Azeroth

BETTER TOGETHER

Refer a Friend

Bring your friends into ArdenWoW and explore the world together. Recruit a friend, and you both earn rewards as they join — no purchase, no catch.

Get your recruit link

Refer a Friend links your account with a friend's: you share your personal link, they create or link their account with it, and from then on you're recruiter and recruit. It works the same way in ArdenWoW as it does in other online games — a way to say thanks for bringing someone new into the world with you.

Manage everything — your recruit link, who you've recruited, and the milestone rewards you've unlocked — from My Account → Recruit a Friend.

HOW IT WORKS

Five steps to adventure together

1
Link a game account first
Recruiting is only open to accounts already linked to a game account through the launcher. If you're new here, get in and level up a bit before recruiting — it only takes a minute to link once you're in.
2
Get your personal link
Go to My Account → Recruit a Friend and copy your recruit link, or have us email it for you.
3
Share it with your friends
One link works for all of them. They can also type your recruit code when they register.
4
Your friend joins
They open the link and either create a brand-new account, or link an existing ArdenWoW account that hasn't been linked to a game account yet.
5
You're linked
The moment your friend's account is set up, you're recruiter and recruit. The perks and the mount follow automatically.

WHO CAN TAKE PART

Eligibility and limits

To recruit a friend

Your account must already be linked to a game account. As with other referral programs, only existing players can recruit — you can't recruit before you've joined yourself.

To be recruited

Your account must not already be linked to a game account. A brand-new account works, and so does an older ArdenWoW account that never got around to linking one — either way, this has to be the first game account for that account.

One recruiter per account

Each account can only ever be recruited once. You also can't recruit yourself, or someone who recruited you (directly, or through a longer chain).

Up to 100 friends

You can have up to 100 recruits at once. Remove a recruit to free up a slot: they lose the Recruit a Friend bonuses and can't be recruited again.

One link for all your friendsNo self-recruiting or recruiting chains back to you

REWARDS FOR BOTH OF YOU

What you both earn

Refer a Friend rewards go both ways — as the recruiter and as the recruit. The mount is granted once per account, to whichever of your characters reaches level 30 first.

Bonus XP and level granting

While you and your recruited friend are grouped and adventuring near each other, you both earn 20% more experience from kills and quests, up until level 40. It adds up with your other experience bonuses. For every two levels your recruited friend gains, they also earn a level they can grant to their recruiter's character while grouped, nearby, and still below their own level.

Reputation bonus

A reputation bonus while you're linked, on top of everything else you're already earning.

Summon your friend

A spell that lets linked friends summon each other, so catching up to a group is never far away.

A mount at level 30

Independently for each of you: the moment either of you reaches level 30 on any character, that account gets the Brown Scouting Ottuk mount. Your friend's level doesn't affect yours, or the other way around.

FOR RECRUITERS

Milestone rewards

Recruit milestones

Every recruit whose character reaches level 30 counts toward milestone rewards, which only the recruiter receives. Recruits you remove later keep counting once they qualified.

Claim on the site

Claim each unlocked reward once from Recruit a Friend and choose the character it is mailed to. Milestone Bazaar Tokens never count toward the weekly limit. The Brown Scouting Ottuk needs no claim: the game mails it, as described above.

GOOD TO KNOW

A few more details

Your friend's privacy: If you email your link from the site, we only use that address to send the one invitation and don't store it. You see your recruits only by a masked email and their highest character level.
Already have an account?: Your friend doesn't need to start over. If they have an ArdenWoW account that's never been linked to a game account, they can link it with your invitation instead of registering again.
Didn't get an email invite?: Ask your friend to check their spam or junk folder, or have them send you the copied link directly instead.
Streamers and creators: Creator accounts can choose the name in their link. Ask our staff if you stream or make videos about ArdenWoW.
