These stats can be reset with respect scroll (genie)

Where do we get these respec scrolls?? eg orders of origination etc.

The "respect scroll" is not yet in-game from what I understand, but there are other ways to reset you Genies Attribute points.....

Where can I get genie quest and what is the quest reward?

Visit the new NPC- Watcher of Earth in 5 major cities for genie quest starting from L1 to L80.

The quest rewards are
Level 1: Collect your random genie.
Level 19: Cube of Enlightenment (Level 19 stone containing 1,000 exp)
Level 49: Refined Cube of Enlightenment (Level 49 stone containing 10,000 exp)
Level 70: 20 Order of Origination (Resets the stat points of your genie. One order is used per stat point.)
Level 79: Elite Cube of Enlightenment (Level 79 stone containing 100,000 exp)
Level 80: Stone of Refreshment (Resets all of your genies elemental affinity points)

UPDATE:

Resets are now available: See This Link

Added: Skill Tree

I have a few characters, and on each I was never given a choice as to color (season). I was just simply given one. So, it seems its pure luck that we receive one that is right for our class.

My wizard received the Dex one, which I think may be perfect for her, but I plan to re-roll her due to poor point placements for a wizard. I wonder if I roll out another wizard, what are the chances of receiving another blue genie on her.

Is the genie received determined by something we do in game? By Class?

Or is it completely random and we may have to keep getting to lvl 9 to see which one we will get...like after a long day at work, we are putting it all on the table and rolling the dice.

Your first Genie, the one that is "free" is a random choice Genie. It has nothing to do with class or anything, just random.

You can get any of the Genies that you want using 3 Mirage Stones at the NPC. I have seen people selling them as well for 100k (at least on LC that cost about the same amount as the 3 Mirage stones.)

Ok, you experienced players all know this but for other newbies like me: when trying to learn a skill or feed genie, first drag genie to inventory and then feed while there or the drag over to box where you learn skill (this is true with other things you do like crafting). Hope this helps someone...

You must have the Genie equipped to both add skills and to "feed" it. To "feed" it simply drag any of the Chi stones onto the equipped Genie and its stamina will be raised. So yes, you are right! b:cute

Ooook.
Massive information overload here.

Eg.How do I make it do ANYTHING? Use a skill whatever..
How do I give it xp I read something about a yellow box....Huh?
As of right now My genie is a floating ball of light that looks pretty!
Way to much information and not really (true) noob friendly.

I will quote from the guide for the bulk of the answers:

"How do I make it do ANYTHING? Use a skill whatever.." -->

Click on the skill you want to use. It is just like your own attacks. You can also, if you wanted place the attacks in any hot-key slot.

Each genie has a unique skill when you first receive them, however, all other skills must be obtained through upgrading.

How do I give it xp -->

There are 3 types of leveling methods:

-Using EXP stone.
-Using Character EXP
-Using Character SP, 1SP = 5 EXP points.

Once you equip your Genie, you can right click the icon. A screen will come up and on the bottom will give you an option to "Infuse." Click on that. Once that is done you will have to choose between the above three methods.

Keep in mind: If you are a higher level then you Genie, there are "penalties" in terms of sp and exp. This means that it will take more of your to level the Genie. Genie Level Calculations

* "Way to much information and not really (true) noob friendly." -->

It is unfortunate that you feel that way. You are the first to say that this has not helped. MUCH of what you need to do with the Genie is to play with it, test it and overall get used to it. All of the information provided is an overall view and all information pertaining to the Genie. It is meant for information, not a step-by-step process page for how to do everything. That is why I watch this post, in case there are questions that need more clarification.

Having said that, in my honest opinion, there is not that much Genies can do to "help" until a much higher level.

Please feel free to ask any other questions. b:thanks

Played around with the Genie...figured out a lot of it.Seems I missed the initial links at the top of your post.

Thank you for your quick response and help.What level do you feel they become...worthwhile to mess with?

I guess my questions are now...which skills are useful for a cleric?
What exactly is a chi stone and how do I get them?
What level point would you feel they stop being an exp drain and become useful?

1) Well, depends on what you plan to use it for really, but I personally believe it is not until about level 50+ (at least) that they begin to have some real good usefulness. This is not to say that they won't help a little now, just not as good. Also, you are on a PvE server which makes a huge difference really. In my opinion the Genies are better suited for PvP.

However - Keep leveling it with your character. It will "cost" less in the long run, since the "penalty" is a bit much. and you will get exp stones from the Genie NPC for certain levels that can and will help.

The quest rewards are
L1 – Collect your genie.
L19 (completed L1 quest) – L19 Cube of Enlightenment-EXP Stone
L49 (completed L1 quest) – L49 Refined Cube of Enlightenment-EXP Stone
L70 (completed L1 quest) – 20 Order of Origination - stats respect scroll
L79 (completed L49 quest) – L79 Elite Cube of Enlightenment-EXP Stone
L80 (completed L1 quest) – Stone of Refreshment - element point respect scroll

2) If you do not plan on pk'ing, there are a few great skills that Clerics can use. Tree of Protection is good in a crunch, since it will restore some hp over time. Kinda like using an hp pot. Also, Heaven's Path is a like saver for FB's because it speed's up the entire party for seconds (depends on it level). And as we know Clerics are slow. Some also use Rainbow Blessing that Randomly increases target's Physical Damage, Magical Damage, Critical Hit Rate and the Casting Speed. There are "attack" skills to but if you do not plan on pk'ing, they do not seem quite worth it. You would be better off getting heal skills.

3) Chi stones are essentially "fuel". You can use then to recharge aerogear and in this case Genies stamina, which is required to cast the skills.

Genie Stamina Replenishment Chart - Chi Stones:

Yiyuan stone: +40 stamina
Liangyi stone (3 Yiyuan): +80 stamina
Santsai stone (9 Yiyuan): +160 stamina
Ssuhsiang stone (27 Yiyuan): +240 stamina
Wuhsing stone (81 Yiyuan): +320 stamina
Liuho stone (243 Yiyuan): +400 stamina
Chihsing stone (729 Yiyuan): +480 stamina
Pakua stone (2,178 Yiyuan): +560 stamina
Chiukung stone (6,534 Yiyuan): +640 stamina
Perfect stone (19,602 Yiyuan): +720 stamina

Besides buying them from other players in the Kitty shops, the best way to get these stones is by decomping armor and such. For example, Level 2 (not your level the level on the armor) will decompose into Yiyuan stones. The higher the level to decomp the more "power" the stone will have for your Genie. (see above) This can get pricey, so I would not worry about immediately filling the entire stamina bar. I know on LC Perfect stones are selling for 1k - 3k a piece.

4) Lol....kinda trick question. I would recommend only using Spirit to level your Genie, HOWEVER, at your level you have less and need it more for skills. Saying that, this might be an opportunity to do some grinding and gain exp Spirit for those skills you need. This is subject to some debate. But really if you level the Genie with your levels, the drain should not be all that bad. Many higher levels I know spent millions of spirit to level there Genies and even then many do not have them up to there exact level. Especially since using exp is not much of an option.

And like I said earlier, I think they become more useful at 50+, but that does not mean they cannot and will not help at the lower levels.


Let me know if there is more I can help you with and if I answered all of your questions.

Ok if i dont like the Genie the NPC gave me to start with is there any way to trade it for another or am i stuck with it untill i have the stones to buy one?

Mind you i am only lvl 3 atm..

Thanks

If you do not have the 3 mirage stones or the money to buy from another player, you are "stuck" with the Genie you have for the time being. You only get one for "free." Just leave it be and do not add any of your Spirit or Experience (this is never recommended but some (people do it).

If you want to try and sell if as is, you can change the Trade status. It will take 7 days for the Genie to become "trade ready" and then you can sell for about the cost of what 3 Mirage stones cost.

You should be able to get enough of the Celestones to make 3 Mirage stones quickly by doing your quests, if you want to wait it out.
