The dev team over at Perfect World International has provided us with this developer journal describing the "Genie System" that comes with the game's second expansion, Age of Spirits.

Our second expansion, "Age of Spirits", will open up a new layer of customization for PWI players with the release of the Genie system. The Genie system allows players to further refine and add to their current skill set to make battle even more exciting.

The Genie system will allow players to access a completely new set of skills that can be interchanged and customized to their liking. This means more well-rounded players, and more strategic gameplay. In terms of PvE, players could obtain skills to help them slay monsters and bosses faster and more efficiently. In addition to the improvements in PvE battle strategies, the use of Genies will also change the way players participate in PvP, whether that be in duels or Territory Wars.

Sorry but their entire concept of genies is laughable.  Only the very very rich can afford them.  Just another unsubtle way to get you to purchase in the item shop.   This game is probably the most expensive game to play if you want to take advantage of what it offers.  Easy to spend double or triple a month compared to what a subsciption game offers.

And what else do you expect? Any game with item mall first of all will be focused on balancing the Item mall sales. When you going to the store do you laugh at them that they actually charge you for groceries. Maybe not the best example, but you cant argue the grocery store prices.

F2P games are in most cases to attract as many players as possible. And most of the people now know that if its F2P then there is an Item Mall that is the game developers #1 priority. A few F2P games I played the only people complain are those who play it for free. I mean come on, its obvious that those games are not really "free". If you wanna be happy in those games you need spend cash. I think that there is a big reason that these F2P games are so popular nowadays and I think that Asian devs make those games a grind fest on purpose. Because Item Mall items aid you big time against the grind and make the game much more enjoyable.

Have no idea what you're talking about.

Genies are available in-game as a quest reward.
