'''How To Obtain Your Genie'''

Genies are obtainable from level one, and are awarded to you through a small quest at the NPC known as 'Watcher of the Earth'. 'Watcher of the Earth' is only available in the eight major cities (City of the Lost, City of the Plume, Etherblade, Citry of Raging Tides, Tellus City, Archosaur, Dreamweaver Port, and Thousand Streams) and are almost always located near the Elder NPC of each city. The 'Watcher of the Earth' for City of the Lost is located at 250, 647. When you talk to him, begin the quest 'Birth of a New Age'. Follow the sequence, and once you are done, you will receive your genie at random. If for whatever reason, you don't like the one you got, you can get another one for the price of 3 Mirage Celestones. Mirage Celestones can be created by combining Celestones of Earth, Heaven, and Human (3 of each), by combining 25 Celestone Fragments, or in later levels they can drop from bosses. To obtain a new genie, speak with the 'Watcher of the Earth' and choose 'Genie Summon'.

'''The Best Genie For a Venomancer?'''<br>
There is absolutely no right or wrong answer as to what genie is best for a Venomancer or any class- your genie's stats do not affect your character's own stats. The genies you can receive are as follows:
# '''Infliction''' - Strength based genie
# '''Longevity''' - Dexterity based genie
# '''Zeal''' - Magic based genie
# '''Discipline''' - Vitality based genie

The best idea is to look at what skill set you want to get for your genie, and choose which one you want accordingly. Skills are affected by the following stats:
# '''Strength''' - Increases the damage done by the genie's attacks
# '''Dexterity''' - Increases the duration of the genie's skills
# '''Magic''' - Increases the genie's energy recovery rate
# '''Vitality''' - Increases the genie's energy- each skill requires a certain amount of energy to cast, the more energy your genie has, the more skills it can cast at a time
