Can someone give me a good reason (and possibly guidelines) as to why i shouldn't ignore my genie completely? Am I going to regret not caring late game?

    have you looked at any of the skills for a genie to maybe see the benefits of having one?


    on my genie i have skills that can heal me (second wind, tree of protection), amplify damage on my enemy (extreme poison), cause damage on my enemy (bramble rage), give me chi (cloud eruption), increase my speed (holy path) etc.


    all of these skills are VERY useful but requires research to learn how to stat it correctly.


    you dont have to use a genie lol they are just an extra bonus to the game- i dont think people are going to beg you to use one but in your later levels in my opinion maybe even now you will regret it once you experience the benefit of having one

    Genies tend to shine more later on in levels when the skills actually get some power behind them. You will find that many make more then a few going for the "Perfect Genie."

    It is up to you to use one or not. I know level 100+'s that do not have and have never had a Genie. It is all a choice, no one says you have to level it now or even later.

    ...There's lvl100+s around with no genies? O__O
    I think genies are real useful. But it depends on how much u want to invest in them, cuz if u want them to b any use at all, u'll have to feed them (spirit, exp, stones) so that their skills are leveled up enough to help you substantially.

    Yes, I love PWI that much. Every class is awesome in their own way.

    As i refuse to cal them their official names, as they clearly aren't genies....

    FAIRIES are strange little critters. They can be your best friend, or just a total leech depending on which skills you teach it. They get better in high levels i.e absolute domain, cloud eruption. But even at lower levels they pack some useful skills. Im a cleric and i have mine packing second wind, its helped me win more than a few duels, rather than stop to IH(yeah it takes like 2 secs to do, but thats precious time lol) i can wield thunder or plume shot and heal at the same time...and holy path will be your best friend <3
    Yeah my sig doesn't match my name...i would say im being all clever and trying to confuse people...but im really just too lazy to make a new one

    look at all the skills lvls and decide for yourself -.-

    no need to lvl a genie now, you will need all your sp on skills for a while (get holy path and and lvl it though >_<will make your life much easier)
    you can start building it for real at 7x or 8x where you will have tons of sp to spare

    I'm using 2 genies.. 1 for PvP and 1 for instances. Nowadays it isn't so hard to level up 1 or more genies to a decent level. With 3 bh's a day you gain allot of spirit. Not to mention the amount of spirit you get when you do a few FC runs with Hypers.

    At one point I had around 70M spirit. Made a few genies, decomposed the not so lucky ones in exp cubes and sold them.
    Aasimar:
    "Bollocks - a guy that will always point out to some1s nonsense and generally indicate contempt for a certain task, subject or opinion. A balancing force and more often then not, a voice of reason around thees parts. There is also paradox in that being his cleric name, as he likes to put it "useless char", while he is one of the best clerics on the server in PvP and PvE imo."

    In addition to specific skills, you can think of genies by role or specialization. You notice a lot of people mention PvP Genie. I have two genies. My fly genie currently doubles as underwater farming genie.

    My dungeon genie is really a basic genie (Holy Path, Second Wind) with the addition of Rainbow Blessing. As I level up, I will probably replace the skill Rainbow Blessing with a better team support or boss skill. I might even come up with a seperate boss genie to help the tank out with boss fighting.

    I would add cloud of eruption to help gain chi as we can all use it.

    A powerful genie can be second only to your own weapon. My genie can one-shot lv.65 blade-master newbs who attack me in PvP <^-^>
    Bramble Rage, Dragon's Fire, Aqua-flame Shot, and my personal favorite [censored for awesomeness] can be the deciding attack against a stupid monster or PvP-opponent.

    Holy Path is almost a must-have for clerics (we run so ridiculously slow, and everyone else just gets faster as they improve their skills).

    Extreme poison nice for PvP; boosting the attack power of slow channeling heavy hitting spells.

    Earthquake is great for low level PvE skill knocking melee opponents 10m back.

    Second Wind is nice for a STR built genie - but I don't personally use it. It heals in a pinch and when you're running away! If you're built DEX Tree of Protection works well enough.

    Badge of Courage removes stuns in PvP situations, as well as PvE, so it can be a true blessing!

    Healing Ripple is great at low levels, for when taking a quick dip in a pool for 25%+ of your mana is faster then meditating and cheaper than a potion.

    Cloud Eruption is hard to learn, but especially Demon Clerics are starved for Chi.

    If you're fighting a phoenix in PvP you'll want Blood Clot: Purify doesn't help you if you're one/two-shot by Fleshream....

    Finally, Absolute Domain and Expel can save you!!! They make you invincible. Expel is more for PvP, however. And both have their disadvantages (one makes you unable to attack, the other is gone before you know it). Timing is key.

    Rainbow Blessing is nice... but remember to allow other classes to use their genies to buff themselves too. Don't squader your genie's stamina.
