The Age of Spirits Expansion is nearly here. This week's patch will include a collection of features and updates from the expansion. The meat and potatoes of the Age of Spirits Expansion, the Genie System, will be published within the next few weeks.

Camera Zoom
One player request we've seen again and again is the ability to zoom your camera out farther. Thanks to the development team, this feature has now been added and players can now zoom out to their hearts content. Players can now zoom their cameras out much further.

Blessing/Healing Filter
Another feature that players have been repeatedly requesting is the ability to self cast buffs and heals when targetting hostile targets. Now with the new Blessing/Healing Filter, players can set what kinds of targets will trigger self-casting. This new filter can be found by clicking on the Protections Icon next to your mini-map.



Supply Boxes
Visiting any of the starting zone NPCs will provide you with a new and unique quest line. You'll be provided with a "Supply Box" that can be opened every 5 levels. As you get higher and higher in level, this box will provide you with sample cash shop items, new weapons and equipment, and even extremely rare rewards.

Squad Finder
Pressing the letter "T" in-game currently opens the Squad Settings window. This window has been revamped in the Age of Spirits Expansion. Players can now filter the results given by Class and Faction, allowing for users to easily find their friends and potential party members in crowded areas.

Genies
"Before the worlds were created, the universe was in chaos, there were no elements, no creatures, no feeling and no thought. As billions of years passed, things began to evolve. After the creation of Perfect World, creatures with intelligence appeared. At the same time, the five elements, developed thoughts and wills of their own, and finally evolved into mystical beings known as Genies." Genies will soon be here!

Genies are the primary feature for the Age of Spirits Expansion. These are new non-combat pets that provide your character with new and unique abilities to be used in both PvE and PvP.
Genie's become attuned with certain elements as they level up. Your Genie will earn an Elemental Affinity point every 5 levels, which you can distribute at your own discretion. They also have Gear slots that can be filled with various equipment attained from the Watcher of the Earth.

Depending on what element your Genie is attuned with, different skills will become available to your Genie. Above is only a portion of all the new skills available to Genies.
Genies will be available in the VERY near future. Other than the Genie System, all of the above features will be available in-game after this week's patch.
