Simple question that i cant seem to find an answer to before i do what needs to be done to get the mount.

Does it work along the ground in area's that you cant use flying mounts ? for example the love rocket from valentines day can be used as a land mount it just hovers much like the broomstick Halloween ones.

No, Lethalock, my understanding of the new the X-53 Touring Rocket is that it is a flying mount only and can only be used in areas where flying mounts are allowed. You can, however have a friend ride along with you. :0)

Drat, and here I was ready to burst into action :P


If you truly desire the X-53 Touring Rocket, and are currently eligible to redeem a mount, I would advise keeping a hold on it for a while, Belarr. Alternatively, for anyone that has a Zhevra mount reward which they are able to redeem now, and would rather than as a reward, I would suggest redeeming it sooner rather than later.

Yeah i made a suggestion on the suggestions forums asking that the passenger mount be like the love rocket and work along the ground in non flying area's however that forum gets 0 responses from blue posts ever lol


That is the nature of those forums, though, Lethalock. I assure you that those forums are read. In fact Kisirani, a World Designer (Dev), took the time to stop by and assure all of the posters here on the CSF of that fact. Her posts can be seen here:

Q u o t e:
My dear Turtle, I realize the answer I am going to see is probably a resounding NO, however I feel I must ask... those of us that did the RAF shortly after it launched, and received our Zhevra's... is there any way we can trade them in for the rocket?

I would imagine that this will be similar to when this current iteration of the RaF promotional program was introduced; you will keep the benefits that you were already eligible for-and have redeemed, but you will not receive the newly introduced items unless you take advantage of another RaF process.

Q u o t e:
What if you had an account that used to be linked to your account, but the account you referred is no longer linked, but never purchased two months?

E.g. I referred myself so that I could use the 3x xp buff while multiboxing. I never paid for any months on my second account, so I never got the free month or mount. My accounts are no longer linked. If I paid for two months on my previously referred account now, I wouldn't be able to get a mount, would I?

(I've seen several contradicting posts on this matter and thus am very confused)

You should be able to receive any subscription based benefits, Zayr. Meaning you should be able to receive the mount (when you decide to do this will determine which mount you are eligible for) if you decide to give the recruited account two months of paid billing cycles – even though the RaF link has come to an end.
