Once you are finished guarding, it will now display "Guard Duty Complete". Added Sand Village Arts Theatre. Redesigned Sand Village Aviary exterior with visual cues of an aviary.

Guys.. Specialized Jonin rank is not a higher rank than Chunin. It's a rank outside of the regular promotions, similar to council members title. Saku still needs to participate in Chunins to get the regular line of command promotions. Specialized Jonin rank is given to people who have Jonin-level abilities in ONE area of the ninja arts. I wrote this in the op. Jonin promotions will be announced soon, when Sand Village has suitable jonins as well.

Dear Ninja, The 3rd Chunin Exam aka. First Joint Chunin Exams ended this Saturday 10th June. It was met with great turn out as usual with 20 teams participating. Despite a bumpy start, this was definitely one of the most fun events the game has seen! Instead of our traditional livestream, I took it upon myself to use the Exam stream to host a developer commentary and Q&A which a lot of people seemed to like, maybe more in the future?! This time round the exams were the same format as the first Chunin Exam both as a practice for myself in hosting a well-rehearsed event a second time around, and also because I felt the new players should have an opportunity to get this classic experience now that we just launched into open beta! The exams saw very high level plays in the Preliminary and Finals, some of which were unprecedented, with moments of shock and just people spamming "Amazing" "wow". I would like to personally praise the ninja @soulapparition for performing amazing plays in the preliminaries stage. Good job to all the contestants! With every Chunin exams comes a handful of promotions. For the first time ever, I was not the one deciding on these promotions, the Kages of each village were the ones watching the entire events and with certain guidelines for grading and compulsory points for PvP achievement, they decided on the following ninja! Leaf Village @Deathmall @Tsubaki Senju @KiwiiKat @Riley Haruno @kur @Wilkor @Godric Senju @Ifrit Special Promotion: @Saku Promoted to Specialized Jonin for outstanding survival abilities and medical abilities in 3 Chunin Exams. Specialized Jonin rank is awarded to Ninja who show specialized traits useful to the village. While it is an honor, it is not part of the regular Chunin/Jonin path and hence at times Specialized Jonins will not be treated as a Chunin or Jonin will (eg. They may not be the first choice for commanders in War Events). Specialized Jonins can continue to join Chunin Exams to gain a Chunin/Jonin Rank on top of their Specialized Jonin rank. Sand Village @Brae @Rainyer @Arashi Himitsu @Kaguya Light @Dareem As you can tell, the Sand village has less promotions. This is because there was not as many of them who made it into the preliminaries and finals. As such, the Sand village Kazekage will be hosting a Village-level exam to determine more suitable Chunin promotions! More details on this event will be announced soon! Congratulations to the promoted Ninja! You may upgrade your title in-game by talking to Gumi to claim a special Chunin Rank usable item. Regards, Rory

The 3rd Chunin Exams has ended! Conclusions Unlike the first 2 chunin exams, this time the promotions will heavily be based on the choices made by the Kage of each village. As such, promotions will require some time to verify (Rules, Regulations, Abuses etc.) and approve (through Game Masters and myself). Some brief updates from a quick meeting with the Hokage and Kazekage. - Sand village will promote up to 5 Chunin immediately - Leaf village will promote 8 Chunin immediately - Sand village will be holding a second mini-exam to find more potential Chunin in the coming week. - Potential Jonin and Specialized Jonin Promotions for the Leaf Village are incoming. - The fate of the peace between both villages seems intact, but uncertain. I'd like to thank everyone who has participated today. It was definitely the hardest and longest Chunin Exam to host yet. This time round, my goal was to get more Chunin to populate both villages so that we can start promoting past Chunin Rank, and also to maintain a healthy population of ranked ninja. In a way, Chunin, Jonin and Specialized Jonin are all part of the team, when we run events like today, you will see our Chunin like @Konahri, @Zintosso and @Indra back to help run the event at a last minute notice. This is because once you promote, you have a certain increased responsibility to the village, in terms of RP! Good job to all our returning Chunins, returning participants and to the two Kage @Shirou and @Miki who did well and took a lot of initiatives today. RP in Nin Online has never been this rich, and I hope as we go on, players will continue to take initiatives to build on it the way our prominent players have been doing. I see a good direction for where RP is headed in the coming years, and it's all good signs. There is both drama and interesting positive relationships between players, organizations and villages. Check back here tomorrow to see a final update on promotions and the Sand village mini-exam!

Dear Ninja, As part of an initiative for us to focus more of the active staff onto in-game moderation, we've decided to start delegating the role of forum moderator to a non-staff role filled by dedicated members who want to help us out! This means that forum moderator is now a role for active community members, rather than lesser staff member. It will not be a very time consuming role, and we will not monitor your daily contributions. If you have time on your hands and would like to help out, we are looking for you! Send an application or a PM my way. Regards, Rory

Patch Notes 8/6/2017 Added semi-automated systems for Chunin Exam 3. Increased range of Phoenix Fireball Technique from 10 to 10/11/12/12/13/14. Increased range of Dragon Fire Technique from 9/10/11 to 10/11/12. Fixed range of Great Fireball Technique from 10/15/10 to 10/15/15. Reverted unknown change for speed of Vacuum Palm Technique. Reverted unknown change for speed of Colliding Wave Technique. Reduced stun duration of Palm Bottom Technique from 1/2/2 to 1/1/1 to reduce stun locking potential. Changed Palm Bottom Technique damage from 20/25/25 to 20/24/28.

Patch Notes 3/6/2017 Added warning on Account Manager to clearly state trade-able cash items disappear if you reset your character or drop them. Added warning on Ceramic War Armor to state that once claimed, it is treated as a normal item and will disappear on reset. Increased all Folding Fan melee attack speed by 50%.

I thought this would be clear, I've edited the item to give a warning and the character reset NPC is clearer on this now. Tradeable cosmetic items are treated as normal items once claimed from Gumi! That means if you reset your character, they will disappear!

Patch Notes 2/6/2017 Fixed Wild Slashes bug causing it to hit 100 tiles.

As a little side message for those who have been here all this time. Thanks for the continuous support and thank you for making the game possible I know there are a lot of issues still prevailing and a lot left to be desired at this point in our development, but since you've been here for all this time, I think you'll be able to trust me when I say I won't stop working to make the game better! It's only a matter of time. I love all of you, the recent month have been a tough one for me, but the private messages you guys have been sending me to cheer me on has made all the difference. Thanks, looking forward to seeing you all at the Chunin Exams.

Dear Ninja, This month is Nin Online's 4th Anniversary month, which means 4 years ago, I began development on the game you are experiencing live now. We have come so far since then, and still have a lot more planned. This month, we will run the 1st Joint Chunin Exam as well as launch ANBU, Sand Assassins and the Akatsuki, which we are very excited for. To celebrate our 4th Anniversary, we are going to be selling a limited time only cosmetic item - Ceramic War Armor! While it may look like the Red War Armor, it features improved animations and some small golden embroidery. The Ceramic War Armor will be on sale from 1st June - 30th June. As with any future time-exclusive cosmetics, after it's sale period, it will not be available for purchase anymore, but will be tradeable in-game so that it may be passed on. We hope that you continue playing Nin Online, and look forward to more updates soon! Regards, Rory

They're entering teams of Genin into the exam as their students, which is why their teams enter for free. The Genin that want to apply for the examination without a Chunin/Jonin Sensei have to pay the fee themselves. There's a lot of ways to make ryo

Thank you @Dareem

Thanks everyone for the support thus far!

PS: This used to be Nin Online's logo back in 2013! I found it while digging old stuff up. lol! Some people were saying the old logo was better then x)

Dear Ninja, As you may or may not have noticed, I've been quite inactive the past month. I'm making able to spend as much time working due to some personal health reasons, as well as a loss of a family member. It's going to be a hard next couple of months for me, and I'm trying to move out and find my own home so that I can better work in peace. Don't worry though, the game is not in danger of closing down or anything like that! Infact, thanks to all your support, I've made a decent living in the past month. I hope this continues, but it's hard living on the edge and paying rent is the scariest part! We're a small niche game and community, so I don't expect massive support, but I'll be thankful if it even helps with a 1/4 of my rent haha I know there are players who want to support the game. If you're one of them consider pledging dollar to help me pay rent! There's some new community related content I've announced on the page if you want to know more, you can read about it here under the backers rewards tiers.
