The Recruit A Friend program is a Retail World of Warcraft system, therefore the rewards and benefits will be unavailable in Classic.

Welcome to Wowhead's Guide for the World of Warcraft Recruit A Friend program, detailing how the system works and current rewards players can earn, introduced in Dragonflight Patch 10.0.7.
