'''Guardian Pets''' are one of three types of pets that can be summoned/created.
 
* They will enter into combat on their summoner's behalf, much as a combat pet will, but cannot be directly controlled. They react as a combat pet set on [[Aggressive]] and [[Follow]].
 
* They are generally summoned on a temporary basis, unlike combat pets or [[Small Pets]].

I doubt whether the change of the login procedure with the Authenticator ([[Patch_4.1.0_(undocumented_changes)#Possible_bugs]]) is a bug. It now shows the same behaviour as when you log into the forums or on Battle.net. First you must type the e-mail address and your password. When these are correct the Authenticator frame is shown if you have an Authenticator attached to your Battle.net account. It is the case with Battle.net and the forums, and since this patch it is also the case now with the WoW Client. [[User:Hans Kamp|Hans Kamp]] ([[User talk:Hans Kamp|talk]]) 04:50, 28 April 2011 (UTC)
Most guardian pets "share a cooldown" with other guardian pets of 1 minute.

== Cooking & Fishing daily ==
Most non-consumable items (of all varieties) that generate guardian pets have a longer cooldown period than 1 minute. For these items, it is more descriptive to say that they force a global "guardian pet item" cooldown of 1 minute.
 
   
  +
Right now it says "The new Cooking and Fishing dailies in Darnassus, Ironforge, Thunder Bluff and Undercity are exclusive with the ones in Orgrimmar and Stormwind and each other, respectively. You can only complete one Cooking and one Fishing daily a day." This is simply not true. I have verified personally that you can complete the Dalaran and Shattrath cooking and fishing dailies in addition to one (and only one) from the capital cities. But every time I try to put in that clarification, it gets reverted by Nathanyel. Nathanyel, I get what you're saying that "the BC and WotLK are not related" but the current line is totally misleading. What's wrong with fixing it to be explicit? [[User:Bregdark|Bregdark]] ([[User talk:Bregdark|talk]]) 19:04, 28 April 2011 (UTC)
This means that while you may not summon a second guardian within that 1 minute, you may use each of your pet summoning items in turn. For instance, once you've waited a minute after using your [[Mithril Mechanical Dragonling]], you can then use your [[Mechanical Dragonling]] trinket.
 
  +
:Dalaran and Shattrah dailies are outdated content which doesn't give any current reward, especially it doesn't give any skill increase. So at the moment you can only complete one current fishing/cooking daily. The way it's currently in this article is more explicit than what Blizzard's patch notes are (which are giving unfulfilled hopes), but is still somewhat misleading because it doesn't explicitly tell people that they can forget their hopes that the new dailies in IF/DS/TB/UC are additionally doable skill-increasing dailies.

:The Dalaran and Shattrath dailies aren't relevant content anymore, and haven't been for months/years. Besides, they never were exclusive with the Orgrimmar and Stormwind ones.

== Engineering Guardians ==
 
Many guardian pets are created by and for [[Engineering|engineers]].
 
 
Some engineered guardian pets are [[consumable]] items, and can be used only once per item:
 
* [[Compact Harvest Reaper]]
 
* [[Alarm-O-Bot]]
 
* [[Gnomish Flame Turret]]
 
 
Other engineered guardian pets are reuseable. These generally take the form of trinkets. While these pet may be killed by damage, you simply wait for their cooldown and you can use them again. Their cooldowns range from 1/2 hour to one hour between uses.
 
* [[Mechanical Dragonling]]
 
* [[Mithril Mechanical Dragonling]]
 
* [[Arcanite Dragonling]]
 
* [[Gnomish Battle Chicken]]
 
* [[Goblin Bomb Dispenser]]
 
 
== Other Guardians ==
 
 
There are other items that create Guardians:
 
* [[Cleansed Timberling Heart]] (consumable, reward from {{questlong|alliance|12|Planting the Heart}})
 
* [[Glowing Cat Figurine]] (consumable, loot from [[Ghost Saber]])
 
* [[Mechanical Yeti]] (quest reward in [[Winterspring]])
 
* [[Ancient Cornerstone Grimoire]] (loot from [[Onyxia]])
 
* [[Barov Peasant Caller]] (quest reward in [[Western Plaguelands]])
 
* [[Book of the Dead]] (loot from [[Balnazzar]] in [[Stratholme]])
 
* [[Defender of the Timbermaw]] (reputation reward from [[Timbermaw Hold]])
 
* [[Shard of Azzinoth]] (loot from [[Illidan Stormrage]])
 
 
These do not require engineering to use:
 
* Water Elemental, used by Frost [[Mages]].
 
* Fire Elemental and Earth Elemental, used by [[Shamans]].
 
* Spirit Wolf, used by Shamans.

Authentication frame

I doubt whether the change of the login procedure with the Authenticator (Patch_4.1.0_(undocumented_changes)#Possible_bugs) is a bug. It now shows the same behaviour as when you log into the forums or on Battle.net. First you must type the e-mail address and your password. When these are correct the Authenticator frame is shown if you have an Authenticator attached to your Battle.net account.
