Last week, the Ten Ton Hammer staff published a brief href="http://www.tentonhammer.com/taxonomy/term/771"

World International
developer diary that recapped the events of the last few months and
teased players with a glimpse of the Genie System. In the second part
of our developer diary series, the PWI folks open the treasure chest
and give us a glimpse at these brightly-bloomed floating entities.

Genies can level up along with their masters. In
addition to increasing
their base stats, players can upgrade a Genie’s elemental
affinity, with any of the five elements: Metal, Wood, Earth, Water and
Fire. The elemental affinity will become important because different
affinities will be the key to unlocking certain skills. Genies can have
a maximum of 26 affinity points. If need be, a player can reset the
Genie’s affinity points at the new NPC “Elemental
Ambassador” in any of the five main cities.
