X-53 Touring Rocket is a special mount that players can earn only through the Recruit-A-Friend program. The X-53 is available to players claiming their RAF reward after 4/27. Players who already claimed the Swift Zhevra mount must complete another RAF to claim a X-53 mount.

Notes

The mount is mailed in-game to the character you select from Master Handler Sylvester. With the item is a rather unique letter:

New Recruit-A-Friend Mount Coming Soon | 2010-04-06 09:00 |  Bashiok

Beginning in just a few days, players who participate in the Recruit-A-Friend program will receive a whole new reward for showing a friend the ropes in Azeroth: the X-53 Touring Rocket, a two-seater flying mount that automatically increases its speed as your mount skill improves (up to 310% speed if you already have a 310% mount). The X-53 will be replacing the current Zhevra mount reward, which is retiring from the Recruit-A-Friend business after a good run. If you've already claimed a Zhevra (or claim one prior to the change), you’ll be able to hang on to it, of course. We’ll have more details on the new Recruit-A-Friend mount once it becomes available.

If you've claimed your Recruit-A-Friend gift and received the Zhevra you'll need to refer a new friend (thus gaining a new reward to redeem and claim after this change) to also obtain the X-53 Touring Rocket.

If you have a reward waiting around you have not claimed it can be used to claim a Zhevra now, or you can wait and claim an X-53 after the change.
