    It's been mentioned already that the skills shown are examples and not the full array of available skills.

    Well, there better be physical dmg atks. Oh, and I'm glad they actually tried to get our imput before releasing a genie system that sucks so wwe can help it not suck before it's even implimented.

    Refining Transfer stone lets you transfer the refine value (+) of one weapon to a weapon of the same grade or lower. Aka transfering +12 from a molder crossbow lvl 98 (grade 13) to HH99 gold crossbow (grade 13).

    Here's a link on refining. Very detailed and with pics.

    http://pwi.perfectworld.com/guide/refining

    Refining transfer is exactly that: you take a refined item and transfer its refinage to an unrefined item. The donor item then becomes "plain", or unrefined, and the receiving item is refined to the level of donor.
    That way you don't have to go broke buying those Dragon Orbs every time you switch to new equipment (especially if you refined to +5 or +6, which ppl do on weapons quite often).

    Unfortunately, this feature has not been enabled on PWI yet. There are NPC's that will do this (the boutique ladies by the bankers, i think, and that Shrunchkin Warrior npc by Crazy Stone lady). However, the process requires Chienkun stones, which are not available yet.

    I think that eventually they may be added to Boutique Store, to the Refining section.

    So that's my question to GM's: if and when we'll get the Chienkun stones available in the game.b:thanks

    I know you were just saying "for example", but of course, all classes can already deal any kind of damage.

    ppl...venos are not over powered, at lv50ish i was still takin em down when they in their 60/70s...just hit the veno and not the pet or if its a nix...run like hell and find a squishy mage to feel better lol

    back to topic....these genies look pretty cool but if they can use armour does that mean the appearance will change with the armour too or will it stay the same?

    I bet the appearance will stay the same. The "armor" is just gonna be an item that gives it bonuses (kinda like the bells in ESO). Really I would bet if you look at the pet system in ESO everything is gonna be very similar... but probably not quite as good =P

    1 question, Can we customize them? b:thanks My archer is male and I really DONT want to have something cute running around him, making him look **** b:shocked
    is it possible to make them look cool rather than cute? something like a mini dragon looking thing or mini panther or something like that? Or if they are fairy type, can we have MALE fairy as well? Otherwise I would feel like 1 gender is being left behind -_-; because from the 2 screenshots that I ve seen they really do look awfully girly - female winged fairy and green small whoknowswhat... Seriously, imagine a barb with small big eyed pink puffy chibi thingy runnning around him - it is just wrong... b:shutup Or just make the gender swap available in the character makeover -_-; or both XD

    Please make them more customisable than barbarians' appearance, thanks b:thanks

    Do you seriously think the GM's are giving out a battle hercules + pheonix = fairy pet to EVERYONE and ALL classes just to kill the venomancer class? How about you read through the threads and get more information before you verbally embarrass yourself and blatantly accuse the GM's of killing the venomancer class, Like killing an overpowered class is even worth their time.

    Over powered cuz you picked the weakest class?

    Ok there buddy.. Deffinetly they're so over powered thats why Archers can 1 shot them .. thats why BMs can stun lock them and sometimes 1 hit them with proper build n gear.. Ya lets talk bout PvP and whos overpowered .. your just another QQer and I dont wish to read through posts of fake pictures and rumours just to see 1 or 2 GM posts that dont reveal anything .. kk ?

    I don't know how often genies can use skills, but it'll likely to be on par with veno pet skill use or player skill use. o.o

    Can they tank? From what we currently know, no. In fact, it seem like they don't have hp like players and veno pets. o.o

    Genies are not intended to replace veno pets. They're pets that give players additional skills. They cannot directly attack or tank. o.o

    Lol Idc about being weak just saying PVE wise Venomancers are overpowered. Anyways, we should probably stop "flaming" before GM spanks us.

    It should be soon. I think they are already implementing bits and pieces of Genie related stuff into the game. I saw the word "Genie" in Chinese when the patch was updating.

    Nix hasn't been nerfed. Your the moron. Oh and just an aside. The skill Flesh Ream is the issue when coupled with a Nix, not the birds themselves. You might try having a clue before you open your mouth and start chewing shoe leather. Oh wait, your a neanderthal. NM I shouldn't expect intelligence from one such as you.

    first of all, you're a male archer, you already look...you know


    second of, you want a fairy male next you your already *** looking char?


    sorry to tell you this bud but in this game, you have to play a female char, anything else does look ****...sorry


    i agree having a small dragong or panther or whatever is cooler but, playing a male char means you lose either way XD

    I have to ask...how would you know if a monkey is ****? It already copulates with it's own family members, flings poo at each other and will never teach it's young anything we teach it. So what behavior would a monkey have to exhibit to be ****, and what would you compare it to for claims of retardation?

    So in fact if we cannot prove a monkey is **** or not, then in fact calling that guy a **** monkey would be just calling him a monkey because the first does not exist.

    Monkey talk aside, I can't wait for the new genie system. Once flesh ream is no longer as big of a factor the veno should be fine. The phoenix hits very very fast and hard, but the bleed is what you really can't do anything about. Once you can remove that (hopefully cooldown is not longer then 10-20seconds), we'll see how it all goes. But good stuff with the genie system, keep it up.
