Recruit a Friend Campaign
- See also: Campaigns
The Recruit a Friend Campaign aims to encourage more players to play FFXIV. Existing players can send their friends their recruitment code. When the friend creates his or her account and registers the recruitment code on Mog Station. Exclusive rewards are awarded both to the recruit and the friend when the friend subscribes to the game. Introduced in Heavensward (3.0), when players recruit friends to play FFXIV, they will earn 
Gold Chocobo Feathers. Feathers are earned for each friend recruited as well as the number of days they have subscribed.
- Heavensward features are retroactive, meaning that if you have recruited friends before the implementation of the feature you will receive your rewards.

Special Notes
- Recruiters' can only recruit one friend per 3 hours.
- Recruits, on the other hand, can only use one recruitment code; no matter what.
- Recruitment codes are valid for 120 days after they are generated.
- Depending on the recruit's email filter settings, it may be necessary for them to permit email messages from @account.square-enix.com.
- For Recruiters, only the first 5 recruits will reward Gold Chocobo Feathers imediately upon recruitment. It is still possible to recruit more friends after this, but at that point the only way to get more feathers is from subscription length.
