A gnome on a Swift Zhevra.

Mount Journal

Zhevras are rarely used as mounts in Azeroth due to their stubborn nature and tendency to bite.

The mount was originally mailed in-game to the selected character by Master Handler Sylvester. With the item is a rather unique letter:

A Swift Zhevra

TO: <name>

FROM: Nesingwary Exotic Mount Supply Co. LLC

CONTENTS OF CRATE:

- One (1) Zhevra

- One (1) Zhevra Saddle

- Four (4) Zhevra Hooves

- Two (2) Spare Zhevra Hooves

- DO NOT OBSTRUCT AIR HOLES -

It was originally the first mount that players could earn through the Recruit-A-Friend program. Prior to 27 April 2010, it was possible to earn this mount as a reward bonus of the Recruit-A-Friend system, once the recruit had bought World of Warcraft and 60 days of game time. This reward bonus was then replaced by the [X-53 Touring Rocket]. On 12 November 2013, the mount was available through the RAF program once again along with other rewards up until 11 June 2019.
- Obtaining the mount through the RAF also rewarded the [Friends In High Places] achievement.
The original mail description mentions Zhevra hooves which is a reference to the quest, [13] The Zhevra.

Patch 10.1.7 (2023-09-05): Now a Trading Post item.
Hotfix (2019-06-11): Removed with the retirement of the Mists of Pandaria RAF system.
Hotfix (2013-11-12): Re-added in the new iteration of the RAF system.
Hotfix (2010-04-27): Time is running out for those who wish to claim their Zhevra, as the launch of the X-53 Touring Rocket is now scheduled for tomorrow, Tuesday, April 27! If you've fulfilled all of the Recruit-A-Friend requirements necessary to claim a mount now but choose not to claim the Zhevra, you will be able to claim the X-53 Touring Rocket instead once it launches. Sounds like they're firing it up for a final test run now...

Replaced by the [X-53 Touring Rocket] mount.
