Alright, so.
Short version: A veteran account will become eligible for a Zhevra mount once a recruit account purchases (or is charged for) 60 days of game play.
More detailed version: Payments provided by Credit Card, PayPal, or Payment One will not process until both the recruit account’s trial time and 30-day credit expire. That is, should a friend or family member pay for a subscription via one of the methods listed, it will be at least 40 days before a veteran account qualifies for a Zhevra mount (10 days of trial time + 30 day game credit received at upgrade). If a one-month recurring plan is selected, the veteran account will qualify after 70 days.
Your veteran account is not yet eligible for a Zhevra mount, Chickenn. I'd encourage you to speak to your friend if you're really looking to nab that striped pony. :)
