Editing Talk:Genie Guides (section)

== Possible addition to Lucky Points section ==
In between the first and second chart:

"A Genie will become displayed as gold, for example, as soon as it reaches 61 Lucky Points, but not before, no matter how many points per level it gets on the way. 

High level genies, e.g. a Lv.80 genie that is purple (63-75% of max), can be less lucky genies for their level than low levels, e.g. a blue Lv.50 genie, even one with only 41 luck points (80% of max). Therefore, color is considerably less accurate a guide to how lucky a Genie is than comparing the number of luck points to the level. 

This is most important when it comes to the advantage that luck gives that goes beyond aesthetics: additional skills. As the chart below shows, the 5th through 8th bonus skills require relatively high Luck Points. Using the genies from our previous example, we see that the purple Lv.80 genie is destined to have a maximum of six skills, but the blue Lv.50 genie could get the highest number, eight. Applying the principle of "a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush", the Lv.80 is also ''assured'' of getting no less than six skill slots, whereas should the Lv.50 be quite unlucky, it could receive as little as five.

Players wanting to maximize their genies must be ruthless with discarding ones that receive low points at low levels. As the probability chart below shows, the chances are weighted towards receiving low or high points, which tends to make this decision easier. There is a 55% chance of getting a 3/10 or worse genie; not worth keeping if the player is aiming for seven skill slots. There is a 34% chance of getting a 9/10 or better genie; obviously these are keepers."<br>[[User:Promethean|Promethean]] 02:08, 30 November 2010 (UTC)

:That mostly seems kind of redundant/obvious to me.  Having more skill slots is more important than appearance, and skill slots are tied to lucky points, therefore a high lucky point ratio is better.  Have you seen people in the forums or the game who were confused about that after seeing the information that's already in the article?  If so, go ahead and put it in, but otherwise it's probably not necessary.  A "How to Get a Lucky Genie" section explaining how high levels can make multiple genies, level them up, when to give up on and decompose them, etc... until they get a good genie might be useful though.  -- [[User:Sangodoc|<span style="color:#CCCCFF;font-weight:bold;">Sangodoc - PWI wiki mod</span>]] [[User talk:Sangodoc|<span style="color:#9999CC;font-weight:bold;">(talk)</span>]] 11:39, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
