Perfect World's Elemental Spirits

Introduction

The Genie System

The Dawn of Elementals expansion introduces a new system to Perfect World. Genies are non-corporal helpers from the Elemental World. They will assist players by casting spells, character buffs and debuffs, but will not participate directly in combat.

Elemental Spirits, also known as Genies in other versions of Perfect World, also have elemental attributes to be distributed. There are five - metal, wood, earth, water and fire. Any skill has a requisite amount of elemental points; some only need one type while others require multiple elements.

Genies are available to all, starting at level 1. They may be obtained through a quest with new NPC, Elemental Emissary. He is located within the five main cities, so there is no problem for anyone to get one of these helpers. They level alongside their masters, although advancement is done manually, using either the player's own experience or spirit points. The higher the level of a genie, the better the skills they unlock. There are four in total, one for each season.

Genies

Autumn

First, there is the autumn genie. Her wings look like autumn leaves, and there is always a little fall foliage floating around her. She has an inherent aptitude for magic. At her starting level, she has the highest percentage of leveling points in Int. The first genie skill is Fire Pillar.

Winter

Next is the winter genie. She is winter white, with snowflake wings. At her starting level, she has the most points in Con, which determines maximum energy. Her first genie skill is Wind Riding.

Spring

Next is the spring genie. Surrounded by an aura of pink, her clothes and wings are delicate flower petals. She has a natural advantage of strength, with the highest amount of starting points in that stat. Her first skill is Poison Sting.

Summer

Last - but not least - is the summer genie. With butterfly wings, her leaf green color will remind anyone of summer leaves. At level one, her dexterity points are the highest. Her first skill is Forced Strike.

Genie Status Points

Every level of the genie increases 1 status point. Genies begin with Level 1 with energy 103 (Spring) 105 (Autumn and Summer) 115 (Winter), energy recovery 1 point/sec, Wilpower of 20000/999999.
STR: Determine damage output of skills
DEX: Determine effect of skills - duration
CON: Energy pool
INT: Energy Recovery and the skills learnable (each 50 INT = +1 energy recovery)

Each status point can be reset with 1 New Beginnings Edict.

Initial Points

Initial Points

Random points

Random points

Every 10 levels of the genie gives 1-10 random points. So for a level 100 genie, the perfect random points would be 100/100. The random points of the genie determine its display model or avatar evolution. Higher random points will yield better look and more status points to allocate.

Status point allocation

Status point allocation

Players can allocate points freely. The maximum allocation for single stats is 40. Any above 40 points will need 2 stats point to gain 1 point.
Example:
If you have 56 status points and you want to put them all in INT in your Autumn genie. This is how it works.
Autumn has a base INT of 15. You can allocate 40 status points to INT bringing it to a total of 55 INT. To add more INT, you need 2 status points to add 1 genie INT.

Status points	Autumn Genie INT
40	55
42	56
44	57
46	58
48	59
50	60
52	61
54	62
56	63

Genie Elemental Affinity

There are five elements namely Metal (Me), Fire (Fi), Water (Wa), Earth (Ea) and Wood (Wo). Each genie skill requires certain elemental affinities before you can learn it.

Elemental Affinity option window:

• Genies begin with 1 elemental affinity point.
• Gain 1 elemental point each 5 level.
• Gain 1 elemental point every level above 100
• Maximum allocation point for each element is 8
• Total elemental point gain is 26

Elemental stats can be reset to 0 with 1 Formless Reset Stone.
Any skill the genie currently knows will not be unlearned but will be rendered useless if the elemental affinity is not met.

Skills

Learning skills

A genie can learn skills as long as requirements are met.

Requirements:
1. Elemental Affinity
2. Genie level
3. Player's souls.

There are 3 default skill slots. The random points determine the number of skill slots.
Random Points 0-50: 4 Skill Slots
Random Points 51-70: 5 Skill Slots
Random Points 71-80: 6 Skill Slots
Random Points 81-90: 7 Skill Slots
Random Points 91 or more: 8 Skill Slots

Unlearning skills

1. Go to the Elemental Emissary and choose the option Unlearn Spirit Skills.
2. Drag the Elemental spirit into the slot, the spirit's current skills will be appear on the left.
3. Select the skill you wish to unlearn/downgrade.
4. Type the number of skill levels you'd like to unlearn. Typing the current level of the skill unlearns it completely and frees one skill slot.

Note: Once you unlearn a skill and you wish to re-learn it, you will spend souls to level the skill again.

Leveling the genie

A player can only level up genies that are same level or lower level than the player level.

Gaining experience points

A player needs experience points to level and so does a genie. The genie exp requirement is 40% of the player's experience points. If a player's level is higher than the genie's level, experience infusion to genie would have some corresponding penalty for the player.

A genie can level up in four ways.
Convert EXP – You can spend EXP earned by your character, directly converting it into EXP for the Spirit. (If your Character has already reached max level, or does not have any EXP in his pool, you cannot use this option.)
Convert Stones – You can use the EXP stored in an Amplified Stone to level up the Spirit.
Convert Soul – You can spend the character’s Soul to convert into EXP for the Spirit.
Normal leveling – Your genie level up while you level. Every exp you get via normal leveling will give exp to your genie too.

Exp

You can level a genie using your own experience points. A player transferring exp points to a genie of the same level will incur no exp penalty loss. There is no EXP penalty when genies reach Level 100 or higher. Here's a link to the genie exp calculator.

Stones

You can level a genie using Amplified Soul Stones. These are forged genies converted into stones. The resulting Amplified Stone will have a Level equal to the Level of the Spirit used in the transaction. The amount of EXP contained in the resulting Amplified Stone will be displayed in the text box when you forge the genie.

Souls

You can also level a genie using your own soul points. Be reminded that genie skills can only be learned using your souls so don't waste too much souls leveling up your genie.

Trading

Spirits begin in Trade Locked status by default. In Trade Locked status, the spirit cannot be Vended, Auctioned, Traded or Discarded. Click on Change State to begin the Update State process.
	It will take 168 hours in order to update the trade status to Trade Unlocked. During this period, the spirit is treated as Trade Locked. (Click Cancel to stop the Update state)
After the 168 hour period, the trade status will become Trade Unlocked. You will be able to freely trade the spirit. However, when a Spirit is in Trade Unlocked status, it cannot earn EXP except through Amplified Stones. You must revert the trade state to Locked in order to spend EXP or Soul on the Spirit. Clicking Revert State instantaneously reverts the Spirit to Trade Locked status.

Equipment

A Spirit can equip 4 kinds of Equipment. They are:

Equipment	Name	Bonus	Price	Level Rq
Spirit Jade	Timeless Jade	Int + 1	1,000,000	29
Spirit Jade	Lightning-Guiding Stone	Int + 1, Str + 1	3,000,000	69
Spirit Charm	Bloodline Charm	Str + 1	1,000,000	9
Spirit Charm	Immortal Shadow Charm	Str + 1, Dex + 1	3,000,000	49
Spirit Mirror	Yin-Yang Mirror	Dex + 1	1,000,000	19
Spirit Mirror	Ice Mirror	Int + 1, Con + 1	3,000,000	59
Spirit Jewel	Nine-Cleansing Jewel	Con + 1	1,000,000	39
Spirit Jewel	Clear-Shadow Jewel	Str + 1, Con + 1	3,000,000	79

Genie Equipment can be bought from the Elemental Emissary.

Equipment adds bonus stats to the Spirit. Once an item is equipped on the Spirit, it cannot be removed or replaced. You will need to use the Spirit Equipment Disassembly function in order to clear a slot.
