It looks good I would just add the points needed for it to "evolve" in looks -- Feely 15:44, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

A Few Errors?

well my original post was here http://pwi-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=372782 but moved to the lower depths, so I guess I'll put them here;

I noticed the double paste of "How many skills do genies come with?" under the Skills section, and shouldn't it be "How many available/empty skill slots do genies come with?" ?

and a possible fix for the description... "By default, it has 3 empty skill slots. You can obtain an additional skill slot with every 40 INT points allocated to the genie. For example, when your genie's INT reaches 40, you obtain one additional skill slot. INT at 80 earns another skill slot etc." -- Darkjagans 07:19, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

Still more errors to be fixed. In one spot the elemental affinities are given with Water listed twice, "Lucky" is misspelled as "Lucly" in another, and "Genie’s can forget skills" should be "Genies can forget skills", just to name a few. -- Sangodoc (talk) 00:11, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

A few other suggestions

In the introduction it talks about the "Watcher of the Skies", however (on Dreamweaver at least) this NPC is called "Watcher of the Earth". All other parts of this guide refer to him as "Watcher of the Earth" or "the new NPC", the latter of those two should be fixed.

The line "some skills are race specific" should be "some skills are class specific". Your example, Rainbow Blessing, is actually restricted to clerics, not the winged elf race as stated in the Introduction section.

The "Genie's Main Screen" section should explain how to bring up the Genie's main screen (a common stumbling block for newbies.)

In the "Skills - How many skills do genies come with?" subsection you should clarify the difference between "skills" and "skill slots". I'd change the last line of that section to say this instead, "For example, when your genies INT reaches 40, it will go from having 3 skill slots to 4 skill slots. INT at 80 will have 5 skill slots, etc...."

The "Can you Equip your Genie?" section needs to be updated for all of the new equipment and ways to equip genies.

The guide does not mention that you can buy genies from the Watcher of the Earth for 3 Mirage Celestones.

And it should probably be mentioned somewhere that combining chi stones to feed to your genie is a waste of chi. -- Sangodoc 03:14, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for your suggestions: (some more will be added/updated/changed when the contest is over...)

1) I was not aware the names were different on the servers. Maybe it is location of the NPC? I will have to check when I am online again.

2) Good point on how to bring up the "main screen," I may add that and if I do credit will be given to you!!

3) The "skill" section has been re-vamped several times with several people thinking it should be explained this way or that. What I may do is combine, or list the different ways people look at the "skills." There are a few sections in which this is mentioned and I think mentioned in a few ways. Combing these mgith be easier, I will look at it.

4) Yes, it was never mentioned taking into account that this is a beginner guide for those who receive there "free" Genie. This will be updated later as it should be mentioned for htose who decide they do want another one.

5) I have mentioned about the Chi stones and there are different ways to look at it. But I do agree with you that the Perfect stones are "a waste" and that the lower level ones will give you more for less.

THANK YOU for your suggestions and they have been noted. When the contest is over, more will be added nd your suggestions will be given credit!!

Starting Stats of Genies errors

The starting stats of genies should have two at 5, one at 15, and one at 3, instead of three at 5 and one at 15. The Discipline genie starts with Str = 3, for example. I looked around and couldn't find level 1 genies for sale of the other three types, but I'm pretty sure the Infliction genie starts with Vit = 3. -- Sangodoc (talk) 04:01, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, Infliction starts with Vit = 3, and Longevity starts with Magic = 3, so Zeal must start with Dex = 3. -- Sangodoc (talk) 02:49, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

Feeding Genies Question

Your guide says to be sure the genie is equipped when you feed it Chi stones. I kept trying to drag Chi stones onto the genie party portrait (genie equipped) and it didn't work. I had to actually unequip the genie and drag the Chi stones onto the genie while it was in my inventory to get it to work. Would you mind double-checking this?

Not tested putting the genie in inventory - but yes, you drag the stones onto the genie square in the slot, not onto the portrait/skillbar thing.
