The Djinn or Genie--Is fighting him the only option?

[amra305]

I found the old lamp and rubbed it and I talked to the Djinn---I have 30 Strength but that failed when tested in conversation so we ended up fighting. There is no body left to loot and no wishes or should I try something different.

[A Rock Seller]

You can talk him out of fighting if you have enough persuasion.

[SerraShaar]

and I think only one of his wishes are good...(need confirmation if anyone remember )

[ignorance[is]bliss]

You need to win Pursuation event with "Intelligence" option. This way you get good rewards: like a sword, skillbook etc.

OK first run through I ended up fighting & finally killing him - no reward! Did some research was told you're better of just selling the lamp. Did a replay and took lamp to a vendor in the market square, got only 800 gold. My party was walking away from the vendor when the vendor somehow activated the lamp. The genie came out in market square and started a fight with vendor. Whole market square citizens got involved in fight. Genie then cast confusion on some of the crowd and next thing everyone is fighting eveyone else, including me. Huge fight erupts in square ( I swear over 40 characters, goes on for ages, great to watch...

End result - genie dead, 4 magisters dead, some silent monks dead,a few civilians dead, store owner dead. My party not dead, picked up the lamp (now worth 2000 gold) all the equipment from the dead magisters and silent monks, the stuff left in the store (owner is dead so no longer marked as stealing) and some more loot from dead civilians - so much stuff...

Best outcome ever... hilarious!

they do, a few seconds after you trade it to them they go "ooo whats this" then do a little "use" animation and then suddenly GENIEBATTLE

You can avoid the fight with high persuasion but you get a bum gift regardless. Killing him yields lots of XP. I took the lamp with me into the Peacemaker wreck and teleported him into deathfog.

[Tartar]

you need to persuade him to give you wealth, which is the only positive gift

There is a lot of mis-info on this forum here.
There are 4 good rewards. There are 4 bad rewards.
I always kill him, he's a ♥♥♥♥, though the book of his insults is funny once.


Bad rewards:
Wishing for power strikes the character with lightning, dealing damage and causing knockdown.
Wishing for wealth gives you a stolen Djinn's Gift amulet (worth 4770 gold). Unfortunately, every guard that meets you will ask to see your bags.
Wishing for knowledge will give you the Children's Tales book, which is filled with insults to the player character.
Wishing to wipe your enemies from sight will strike your entire party with permanent blindness.


Good rewards:
Wishing for power nets you a Unique One-handed Level 9 Sword, the Djinn's Scimitar (+1 Wits, +1 Single-handed, +1 Aerotheurge, 23-25 Physical Damage, and 1 Rune Slot).
Wishing for wealth nets you an (unstolen) amulet that does nothing, called the Djinn's gift, but which is worth 4770 gold.

Wishing to be able to wipe your enemies from sight nets you a level 5 scroll "Hailstorm".
