    Most people won't buy genies under level 70. I suggest you keep making better genies and see if they are any good. If not, just decompose the genies and use the EXP to make new ones.

    A 26/40 has a pretty high chance of ending up something below average like a 35/80. When you buy a low level genie, no matter the stats it's still a gamble on how it will turn out. Few players feel inclined to pay any decent sum of money for a slight reduction on gambling odds.

    You wont get anywhere near a decent price on a genie until it hits 50+ lucky points anyway.

    Well, sometimes you can get so much EXP by decomposing a cheap high level genie that it's worth buying. Other than that, not a good idea.

    anyone noticing its taking more sp to level genies? I tried to level a new genie to 100 using my SP. I had 17mil sp before hand, and I was at level 86 before I had to stop leveling it from lack of sp. Now I'm at 0 sp and only a level 86 genie >_>. Is that a bug?

    I paid 14.5m for a lvl 80 genie, but probably as noted above wouldn't buy a sub 60 genie.

    Took me 3 mil SP to get a genie from lvl 1-80. Probably took that much because I was level 80. Not sure about level 100s though.

    no not a bug if you look at it each lvl difference between you and genie the worse the infuse ratio

    if you want to make a genie, you'd do better getting a char every 20 lvls and feeding them sp to feed your genie.

    if a genie is at your lvl, you infuse 5 xp per sp. it can get as low as 1 xp per 10 sp, believe. the lvl diffecence between you and the genie means you will be paying your way out of one hell of a lot of low lvls before the sp/xp rate normalizes.

    it would probably be easier to oracle a new char to 80 and lvl a few genies as you go, discarding the worst ones etc. this way, you discard the genies that fail at lvl 50 without wasting massive amounts of sp. from lvl 8x you will probably be able to lvl the genie yourself.

    If you're 10x and trying to make genies, use Warsong Ether Essences and lvl 9 essences.

    Don't waste your spirit points until they're relatively high level.
    I post in forums. This one and others. That's why I post.

    True the infuse ratio increases when the genie lvl is closer to your lvl.

    And no I'd never buy a genie with 26/40... atleast a 41+/60+ :P though the prices go up the closer the lucky points get to the limit (60/60 would be super rare :P not to mention super expensive xD)

    Ex had a 70/70 Zeal and got rid of it for a discipline because she didn't like the color of a Zeal.
