decomposing genies

Well i dunno about the penalty, but well i decomposed a lvl 10 genie (lvled via my sp) and i've got a stone of 1040xp or so. Well, if u know how much xp u need for lvl 10 genie, then you can do some easy calculations and see how many %xp is this 1040xp.

wait genies decompose into exp stones? So if I level mine up with spirit points I can technically convert sp points into EXp points thus hastening my leveling?

No. The xp stones can only be used by genies.

That xp stone would almost be enough to level your genie to level 6.

What happens when you decompose Genie? Do you get to get another free? Cause I want Zeal on my Veno but I got the white one.

I was fortunate to get a zeal on my first try. Is it good? I haven't touched it since I have no idea how these little kiddos work and too scared to tamper with them. All I can tell is that zeal has some nice mag

I decomposed my lvl 20 genie., got exp cube with lil over 8k exp. That got my lvl 13 genie to lvl 14 and i had about 3k exp left...

The genies are **** IMHO.

So you ****ed up your genie (didn't like it or whatever the case), paid the price, so now the genies are ****, huh? Of course there's gonna be a penalty. Anyone who's played this kind of game before oughta know those kinds of principles.

No, I havent messed up anything, my genie got pretty good amount of lucky points so far. I still think genies are ****. I dont think they make the game better in any ways...

How were you already able to decomp your genie? It won't let me until its in trade state and it takes a week to switch to that.

You can't switch state for a week. Mine is on the week timer to switch to trade state.

Well I know it told me I can't until its in trade state when I tried to decomp mine.

lol liar, you cant decompose genie..genies arrived today and you need to wait at least for a week so they can be in trade mode and they you can decompose them. dont lie and say you decomposed it already. thats just bull.
and yes its all ****.
if they explained it in a way a common ppl would understand. the basics, one step at the time, it would be great. but NOOOOO they hide everything so much like its the evolution in MMO gaming. gimme a break, next time when you import such **** as genies (saying **** cuz 100% of the ppl are confused and dunno what to do) please do make some tutorial or anything like it so common ppl can understand.
so far so bad...

I did decompose 2 genies sooner.. like 3 - 4 hrs ago .; tried to decompose aother one 1 hr ago and couldnt.. not till he isnt tradable.

IMO the GM have changed an option.

the first genie i did decompose was level 30.. all Xp from SP. The stone only permited me to level the other one to level 10-12 .. so the penalty is a real hard one

First things first take a look at the skill trees and read the skill descriptions. Decide what skills interest you and try them out. For now until we know just how good/useful these skills turn out to be no its all experimenting here on in. As far as the damage spells go however I can say that lower level skills do less damage "duh" than skill learnt later on. So don't waste too much sp levelling skills that don't give you good damage unless it gives a good (in your opinion) benefit.

Now you know what skills you are interested see what elements you are going to have to learn to get those skills. Some are single element e.g. require 2 fire while other are mixed e.g. 1 fire, 1 metal etc etc. Remember you earn 1 elemental point every 5 levels so you have to know exactly which skills you want so you don't end up wasting elemental points.

Now you have got an idea of what skills you want you will notice that each skill benefits from certain stat changes e.g. skill x may do more damage with an increase of the strength stat. That means that you have to or should at least decide if you want to tailor your stats to suit the skills you have. Remember the genie gives us additional skills. Don't see it as the genie attacking. See it as you attacking using the genie as a placeholder for your additional skills. Now as an example you may have a damage skill that improves with strength and it has an additional effect which improves with higher dexterity. Now you must decide if you want to benifit from both, only one or neither. For instance you may only care about the damage aspect of the skill but not about the length of say the debuff, so you put your points in str instead of dex.

Note however you have 3 (initially) skill slots and that stats are also useful beyond improving the usefulness of skills. Example if you want to have more tha 3 skill slots you need to put points into magic.

Once you understand the relationship between these three operands:
skill choice
elemental affinity
stat positioning

Then you can then go about making your genie to suit your purpose.

Quite honestly the genie upgrade opens the window to have a great variety of skills builds. E.g. as a wizard you could go for a heavily water based genie to help in healing, buffing etc or do like me and create and offensively oriented fire/metal genie. Another option could be to create a tactical genie to make your wizard a buffer/debuffer etc etc.

The one great divider amonst genies will be the lucky points. Quite honestly I think that a lot of top players will spend a lot of time trying to get maxed lucky points. Why? Because better stats = better skills and better skills = a better character (well at least in theory).

Its not the greatest explanation because there are lots of explanations I left out but basically understanding those three things:
skills
element points
stat points

forms the basis of understanding how to unlock the power of the genies.
