Perfect World Community Forums: The Dawn Of Elementals - Perfect World Community Forums

Through the history of the Perfect World, men and gods have performed powerful works of magic. The bloodline spell unleashed in the Dusk Kingdom has devastated the Western lands, leaving it a barren zone. The great blizzard and the disappearance of the Frost City have left the Northern lands in a state of flux. The Eastern lands have been defiled by the Soulless, and in the South, the Dragon Palace has become a mysterious vortex. The balance of the Perfect World has been rent asunder.

The Elemental Spirits, the avatars of nature, seek out worthy heroes who have the will to change the world. With mortal prowess and the powers of the Elements combined, can the balance of the world be restored?

The fate of the Elements has entered the twilight. Will it live to see a new dawn?

2. The Elemental Spirit
   
   
   
   
   
   The Elemental Spirit Equip Slot is to the right of the Ring slot and below the Relic slot.
   A Spirit’s Willpower is restored by dragging Vitality Stones to the Elemental Spirit equipped on the Slot, much like recharging Flight Devices.
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   Upon placing the Mouse over an Elemental Spirit, you should see the following information:
   1. Spirit’s Name
   2. Spirit’s Level
   3. Spirit’s Attributes (These are not bonuses to your Character’s Attributes)
   4. Spirit’s Random Attribute Points (See the Spirit Status window for an explanation)
   5. Spirit’s Maximum Energy

   Convert: Click and hold this button to transfer EXP from the source to the Spirit.
   
   Reset: Reset this conversion.
   
   Confirm: Confirm this conversion. The transfer cannot be canceled once you click Confirm.

Spirit Trade Status Window



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.
