Guardian Cub Coming to Blizzard Pet Store Soon

Coming soon to a Pet Store near you: the new and titanically cute Guardian Cub companion. You’ve soared across Azeroth on the majestic Winged Guardian. Soon, you'll be able to purchase a pint-sized Guardian of the Titans sidekick to accompany you on your adventures.

Stunning good looks and adorable, supersized eyes aren’t all this new pet has going for it. The Guardian Cub is also the Pet Store's first tradable pet, meaning it can be swapped between characters in-game or given as a gift to guildmates, friends, family, or that special someone -- no adoption papers necessary. Due to his finicky nature, each Guardian Cub will only give its allegiance to one owner, meaning it’s a one-time-use pet that permanently binds to a single character. Be sure to choose a master wisely.

Look for the Guardian Cub to arrive in the Blizzard Store in the weeks ahead -- in the meantime, we've prepped a mini-FAQ to explain how this flying friend will differ from other Pet Store companions.

Q: How does the Guardian Cub pet work? How is it different from other Pet Store pets?

Unlike the other Pet Store companions, the Guardian Cub is a tradable, one-time-use pet that permanently binds to a single character upon use. When you purchase the Guardian Cub from the online store, the character you designate will receive a bind-on-use item to carry in his or her inventory. You can either use the item yourself to permanently add the pet to your character's collection (consuming the item in the process), or -- after a brief initial cooldown period -- you can trade the item to another player so he or she can add it to one of their character's collections. Note that once the pet has been added to a character's Companions list, it can no longer be traded, so make sure you're giving the cub a happy home.

Q: Will I be able to carry more than one Guardian Cub at a time?

While a character can only have one Guardian Cub in his or her Companions list, you can have as many in your inventory as you like. Please note that Guardian Cub items do not stack, so each one will take up a bag or bank slot.

Q: How much will the Guardian Cub cost in the Pet Store?

The Guardian Cub will be priced the same as the other Pet Store pets ($10 USD). All sales of the Guardian Cub are final -- no refunds will be given once a purchase is made.

Q: Why did you decide to make the Guardian Cub tradable?

Since the introduction of the Pet Store, many players have been asking for ways to get the companions we offer there without having to spend real-world cash. By making the Guardian Cub tradable (much like the BoE mounts from the World of Warcraft Trading Card Game), players interested in the new pet will have fun, alternative in-game ways to get one. In addition to trading the pet, players can give the Guardian Cub as a gift to another character for a special occasion; guild leaders can use them to reward members for a job well done; and so on. We also hope this change will help reduce the number of incidents of scamming via trading for invalid pet codes.

Q: Could I put the Guardian Cub up on the auction house to try to make some gold if I wanted to?

While our goal is to offer players alternative ways to add a Pet Store pet to their collection, we’re ok with it if some players choose to use the Guardian Cub as a safe and secure way to try to acquire a little extra in-game gold without turning to third-party gold-selling services. However, please keep in mind that there's never any guarantee that someone will purchase what you put up for sale in the auction house, or how much they'll pay for it. Also, it’s important to note that we take a firm stance against buying gold from outside sources because in most cases, the gold these companies offer has been stolen from compromised accounts. (You can read more about our stance here.) While some players might be able to acquire some extra gold by putting the Guardian Cub in the auction house, that’s preferable to players contributing to the gold-selling “black market” and account theft.

Q: Are you changing the other available Pet Store pets (e.g. Lil' Ragnaros, the Pandaren Monk) to work this way?

No, the other available Pet Store pets will continue to work as they always have.

Q: What about future Pet Store pets?

It's too early to say how we'll handle future Pet Store pets. We made this change in response to feedback from players looking for alternate ways to get the Pet Store pets, and we're always looking into other opportunities for improvement. We're interested in hearing what players think of the Guardian Cub when it launches, and we hope you'll have fun with this new flying friend.

Kommentar von Chilela In before people complain about how this is basically a legal cash-for-gold item (it technically is). Honestly, I'm OK with it, since I'm too cheap to spend real money on items in the game. Kommentar von matheus314 How much 10 dollars cost in gold, for Blizzard?

We'll soon discover. Kommentar von Sorenxz So if you want one of these for all your toons you can expect to pay a lot. I think Blizz should make the item BoA once you learn it yourself so you have the option to trade it to friends or learn it on all your toons. Kommentar von Homeschool Important to note the point that Blizzard is NOT selling gold - they're creating a market similar to Diablo's AH, where players sell gold to each other. The distinction may be minor, but for matters of inflation, significant. Kommentar von 53x11 A quick google search gives the impression that $10 is worth about 10,000 in-game gold. Kommentar von ComputerNerd Feeding the Cash-Cow and nothing more.
There is no real justification for that to stop in-trade scams when they are ripping off their customers.
It should cost about 2$ not $10 considering for the collectors its only a single character as opossed to all of them.

Instead they should take a leaf from how they handled TCG items in that you redeem at an NPC.
However upon the redemption it should offer a one-off choice of a single BoE or per character BoA.

So if you want one of these for all your toons you can expect to pay a lot. I think Blizz should make the item BoA once you learn it yourself so you have the option to trade it to friends or learn it on all your toons.Kommentar von superbox007 I totally agree! if you look at it in terms of cash for pet... the first ones (e.g. Lil' Ragnaros, the Pandaren Monk) convert to 50 account pets for 10 dollars. where the new one is a flat 10 dollars... i smell money making scheme... LOLz Kommentar von Soldrethar So I guess this means that winged guardians can reproduce, somehow lol. Kommentar von Crystlstar I like how they work just fine, boo on Blizzard! Kommentar von TagraNar It should cost about 2$ not $10 considering for the collectors its only a single character as opossed to all of them.Since the introduction of the Pet Store, many players have been asking for ways to get the companions we offer there without having to spend real-world cash. Kommentar von Interest I actually prefer this. I do agree it should be much cheaper though. Kommentar von Halax money whoring here Kommentar von heroic2k8 Although I like the new companion's appearance (3d model) the 2D photo for it looks so much like those stupid internet ponies that have been spreading around like wildfire lately. I can only think they either have a 16 year old boy on there that visits anonymous image boards to much or needs to grow up when they designed this. Kommentar von pewpewx Blizzard, nice scamming attempt, NOT. Kommentar von SirPunky In a way, blizzard is just doing what players have been exploiting for a year plus now.

Old way:
*player buys pet*
*player spams trade, selling code for 10,000G*
*all the buying player's characters get pet*

New way:
*player buys pet*
*player sells pet on the AH*
*only one buying character gets the pet*Kommentar von Peace88 I don't like this idea but I don't see a "BIG" problem with blizzard selling gold. I think they should just do it straight up. If blizz sells there own gold it they could stop gold farmers and most account hacking all together. Most every thing at end game isn't sold for gold now and hasn't been for a long time. So it wouldn't make rich people better players and even if it did they can buy gold now. It would just make things like mounts and pets and funny looking gear easier to get and blizz can sell it cheaper then anyone they make it after all so $1 could = 1000 gold Kommentar von Rankkor So I guess this means that winged guardians can reproduce, somehow lol.Kommentar von Rankkor A quick google search gives the impression that $10 is worth about 10,000 in-game gold.Kommentar von TomatoSauce It's so adorable! Kommentar von lankybrit How much in game gold do people think this will go for?

Cheers.
