no, this mean you get an exps stone in exchange for your genie.

if you want another genie, you either give the watcher 3 mirage stones or buy one from another player.

I'm interested in the genie system, but the forum don't seems to provide enough information for me and the description is quite vague, so after some unsuccessful search I decided to come out from lurking to post my first thread. My main is a witch and I want to PvP late game, although I also got a venomancer too for money making, and I got an archer on PvP server which I might not continue since PvP seems to be too chaotic than I expected. So I would like to ask for facts and opinion on certain skill that I have in mind:

Qi Manipulation: how useful is it in PvP (with no restriction on item); also, if someone attempt to cast a spell but during channelling or casting this skill deplete their mana then does it cancel the casting?

This skill will only cancel the casting IF is drains there mana enough so that the skill cannot be used. In PvP this is potentially useful against the non mage classes (since there MP is generally lower to begin with). At level 10, this will drain 600 MP and in PvP that could be signiifcant to the non mage class. For many of the non-mage class, that would be almost half of there MP and not enough to cast a few of there skills.

Eruption Fist: how useful is it in PvP and PvE?

This could potentially be a good skill in PvP. However, I am not a fan of any of the starter skills since you really cannot level them up. Maybe for PvE (I am not on a PvE server so my opinion is based in PvP). I think there are better skill that could be utilized, and used in a way that would be more beneficial. This is especially true since you cannot level this skill up, it stays as it is, and only lasts for 4 seconds. I can say though that for some classes, this would hurt if you could get the skill off to hit them without having them counter with a different skill to up there resistance.

Tree of Protection: it have 2 status effect: increase max HP and a heal over time. Which one of the 2 will be in effect first? Also, can it be casted on people other than yourself?

It will increase your HP and the healing over time countdown begins at the same time. It is a good life saver in those desperate situations, however it should not be relied upon 100% of the time. This skill is fantastic when dealing with bosses and HH/TT runs. Also, this skill is only cast on yourself, You cannot pick and chose who you can use it on.

Remove Paralysis: which is considered Paralysis: stun, freeze, silence, sleep, seal? or is it a totally different status effect? if it is a different status effect then what can cause paralysis?

Yes, this has the chance to remove any immobleization of your character. 80% at level 10 is not bad.

Lightning Chaser: does it interupt the spell while it is being casted on when it is channelling?

When it is casting and causes Metal damage at the same time.

Evil Ward: is it make you immune to defence or magic defense debuff?

This makes you immune to any effect(s) that would increase the damage you would be taking, whether it be physical or magical.

Fortify: how dangerous the magic defense reduction is?

For the mage classes, the magic defense is not bad at all. I have used this in Rebirth and it is very effective. Also, in terms of PvP, it works wonders against BM and Archer stuns. The good thing too is it will work after the stun has been placed on you rather then having to worry about hitting it before the stun gets cast on your character.

Wind Prison: can it be casted to somewhere you like or must it be around you? how useful is it in TW?

This skill will be cast around you. Depending on the level of the skill, the range will vary slightly and the duration of the "chance" to seal all the targets within that range.

Will Surge: if you are already silenced when you cast this would it remove the effect?

This I believe can be used if you have already been Silenced. It works similar to Fortify, just for a different skill being cast on you.

Life Drain: how useful is this skill in PvP?

This is not all that useful. The drain is going to be minimal and the HP recovery is only 5% of your max. So if you have say 3k HP, this skill will only heal you for 150 HP, which in terms of PvP is nothing. This would be better suited for draining a bosses or a mobs HP in my opinion.

Holy Path: is it enough to use Distance Shrink to escape or a witch would need this too?

For the slower mage classes, this skill is a must!! This is a great way to "escape" in a number of situations.

Essence Penetration: would there be some indicator to tell you that you are at the peak (before you start losing Chi)? what happen if it drain Chi when you don't have any Chi left? How useful is it in PvP?

There is no indicator. The increase and decrease of Chi happens over time. So if the skill is at level 1: Increases your Chi by 110 over fifteen seconds,
then decreases your Chi by 210 over fifteen seconds. At level 10: Increases your Chi by 200 over fifteen seconds, then decreases your Chi by 300 over fifteen seconds. If you have under the amount it is going to drain, it will drain the remaining Chi you have.

Lawbreaker: would it remove only silence or any form of status effect that make you unable to cast spell?

This is meant only for Silence.

Weakness: does it slow only physical attack rate? or does it work on casting time and channelling time too?

This only slows the targets movement speed, not channeling or casting time. This is meant to disrupt the targets elemental resistance but with that it increases the targets physical resistance, both equal to each other. At level 1: Disrupts the target's elemental resistances.
Increases the target's physical defense by 4%
and reduces the target's elemental resistances by 4%.
Also reduces the target's movement speed by 30%.

Frozen Domain: it is only usuable in water, but being a AoE would it affect non-water target? which type of immobilize effect it would cause?

It will only work in the water and the Silence means that the target cannot move but can still attack. This would work much better on Physical mobs that need to be up close versus Magical mobs that have attack range.

Expel: can it be casted on yourself? your non-squad ally? your enemy? if it is casted on someone who is immuned to silence (by the buff Will Surge for example), what would happen? if it is casted on someone then Lawbreaker is casted on the same person what would happen? would your ally have the choice to receive the buff or not or is it forced?

This is cast on a "friendly" target, generally a squad member. They would not have the choice to take the "buff" is it is cast on them. If immune to Silence, they will not be affected. Same with Lawbreaker.

Dampen Magic Curse: how strong it is compare to Qi Manipulation?

Because this is a random Mana drain, I cannot for sure say it is stronger or weaker, especially since it does not state what the random possibilities are.

Absolute Domain: the immunity to immobilization, is it started the same time as immunity to damage period or only after the immunity to damage period? which type of immobilisation is it make you immune to? would it remove the immobilization status effect on you? also, would immunity to damage make you immune to healing skill or potion as well? would it make you not get damaged by DoT? would it make you immune from getting a DoT debuff too? would it remove DoT from you? would it make you immune to Chi or Mana damage skill? would it make you immune to any type of skill that deal damage?

Will work before and/or after immobilized. Immune to all immobilization. This does not make you immune to healing/pots, etc. Ok basically...immune to everything for the time frame depending on the skill level.

Chi Siphon: how useful is it in PvP?

This can be very useful for those dependent on Chi. It can mean the difference between a 2 spark or a 3 spark attack.

Ice Blast: why does it require affinity with wood and fire when it have the "ice" in the name?

No idea, this is what they named it and how the affinities were placed.

If you know the answer to my question please help solve the confusion. Any opinion on these skill are also welcomed. Thank you for reading.

The most important thing you are going to want to know right when you get your free genie is how do I feed her?

You can get a genie at lvl 1 but you cannot feed it yet because you do not have Blacksmithing Skills. At lvl 5 you can get the ability to manufacture and through several quests you can become a Blacksmith.

Once you become a Blacksmith, craft any weapon (after you have gathered the materials). After you've crafted a weapon, you should see the Blacksmith now has an option for you to Decompose weapons. Decompose what you crafted. It should give you roughly 150 Yiyuan Stones (sometimes it randomly gives you only 10, just craft more). Drag and drop these Yiyuan Stones onto the icon of your genie in your inventory bag. A system message will tell you how much your genie just ate but don't expect the blue bar to go up much. THE BLUE STAMINA BAR DOES NOT HAVE TO BE UP VERY FAR for the genie to cast spells.
