Boutique item to change sage/demon?

I've heard from someone that PWI plans to put something in boutique that allows us to change from sage to demon or vice versa?
Is this true?

Yes.
It is.
We will also be able to switch characters to other servers.

This is old news.
The next expansion is focusing around the ability to change from Sage cultivation to Demon, and was probably put in place for any of our local fish who decided to choose their cultivation path before all their skills were included in the game.
Yes, it's true you'll be able to switch skills.
Whether it's a boutique item or not is debatable. I doubt they'd do a whole expansion just to include a boutique item. Common sense suggests it's probably a quest of some kind.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]0 -

I hope that's true. There are a lot of skills I like included for demon clerics I'd really like to have. Dunno if it's enough for me to switch but... would be nice to have the option... without having to pay for it with an arm and a leg.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]0 -
Thanks for they quick response. Any clue from GMs?0

What you need to remember though is that, even if the switch ends up being free, you still end up having to pay an arm and a leg in order to relearn all your skills to Demon/Sage.
Either way, whether the switch is free or you do end up having to pay for it, it's a very costly option and a lot of people have already raged about the fact that this would reset your skills, probably without refunding the amount of spirit and coin you paid to learn Sage/Demon skills in the first place.
But, I do agree. Since one of the focal points of this expansion is the ability to switch it would undermine the whole thing to then just make it a $80 boutique item with no process behind it.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]0 -

Yea, can someone please post the source for this?
If this is true, it'd be my dream come true! I can finally get back to resetting my skills and enjoy the game again. THANK YOU PWI! b:thanks0 -

Source is PW china's website.
They have just started a Beta for a new content update, and one of the pieces of information gleamed from the Googlenese translation is that it "might" become possible to change culti's.
I say "might" because we all know how bad Google translation is.
Note: If someone is playing the Beta or has translated the information properly then they might know more.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]0 -

Someone in this forum said that it is for the beta testers, so that they can compare Sage and Demon for TBs. I really doubt the culti change is possible, but who I am to say. I mean, who could have guessed more races after the initial ones, since PWI only had three for the first four years.100% F2P player. Started PW: March 2007, Quit PW: March 2011.

Basically, it allows switching between demon and sage.
You will need to complete lvl100 cultivation. There is no limit to the number of times you wish to switch.
To perform a switch you will need to buy a boutique item (29 gold?) as well as 200 'stones' which can be acquired by buying another boutique item (2 gold?) that has a chance to get 10,20 or 50 'stones'.
All sage/demon skills will be resetted to lvl10, others will remain as they are.
I guess this is mostly aimed at tideborns.

Did you go from the translation or the original Chinese? From the translation I see that higher level skills have a higher cost to convert and they get turned into a corresponding skill.
This suggests to me that they aren't reset to 10 but that converting all your skills will be expensive. Anyone who can actually read Chinese can confirm?

hmm..I was looking at the original chinese post. There is only the cost incurred to switch between sage and demon. Those boutique items pictured do exactly that.0 -
Yeah i read about the culti change pretty long ago before they started the beta tests. Didn't know it would cost gold tho, just said it included some sort of instance that had to be completed after lvl 100 culti.
However spending 35-40 gold and having to get all skills again is a pretty cheap price to pay if it means you can finally enjoy your character again. Sure as hell its cheaper than having to level up a new archer/barb/BM ect to 100+
If you like me for example is an archer that was dumb enough to go sage over 1 and a half year ago, this is a very good opportunity. I know many in my position that will change to demon and that also dont care about having to buy the skills all over again.
New patches and event/Nirvana gear, easily obtainable 89/92 skills made demon so much better for pretty much all classes in terms of pvp. Its so much easier to stack interval/channeling/crit for both casters and phy classes now, and if youre demon you already gets that from skills, so you can stack it even higher.
Sage will obviously always have a spot as a pretty cheap and useful pve-class, but most players want more than that once they hit 100+.
Really only sage wizards and venos that are somewhat balanced compared to demon in terms of dmg and pvp.0 -

That was me. What I said was that it could be just for the beta testers and that based on the information we had at that point (close to nothing), we really couldn't know for sure. Truth is, I have no idea whether it's just for the beta, permanent, will or won't make it to PWI, or if it never really happened at all except in a misinterpretation of a bad translation.0 -
Do you keep your original Sage/Demon skills?

I think it will eventually come PWI too. It might take a few months, but I think it will.100% F2P player. Started PW: March 2007, Quit PW: March 2011.

That would really be awesome to have that option.Inactive on HT

If that link from PW China is accurate, then it is almost a certainty that it will come to PWI. It is just a matter of time.0

According to that link you wont have to relearn the sage/demon skills you already have. Nice.0

so whats there to stop ppl from learning chea **** skills like sage archer quick shot and go demon and instantly save 20 mil?0

After switching, all demon/sage skills learned will be reverted back to lvl 10. Any skills less than lvl 10 will stay the same level after conversion. It Chinese PW, it costs 29 boutique gold and 200 mirages for the switch. Looks like they're also selling a mirage box that contains 10, 20, or 50 mirages in the Chinese version.
技能转换说明：仙魔转换后，除部分技能会被自动转换为对应的修真技能外，其他所有仙（魔）技能将全部被还原到仙魔技能之前的普通技能。技能等级为10级。不满10级的普通技能，将保留原等级不变。玩家转换后需重新学习新修真的仙魔技能。
Also, all the skills you dragged onto those quick bars will be removed so you have to arrange them again.
EDIT: It was all according to this site.

Not sure TBH.Skills Conversion Description: Fairy Magic converted the exception of certain skills will be automatically converted to the corresponding My comprehension skills, all the other sen (magic) skills will all be restored to normal before the fairy magic skills, skills. Skill level is 10. Players need to learn new converted comprehension for the fairy magic skills.
Seems a bit of both . . Gotta love dodgy translations[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]0 -

That's google translation of what's written above it.

That's the right translation from someone who's fluent in Chinese.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

As RoidAbuse and I have said, all existing sage/demon skills will be resetted to lvl10 after the switch. You will need to relearn them again. As to whether you will be compensated, it is not mentioned in the link.0
