The Way of the Ninja
The Way of the Ninja is the set of rules which the Ninja, and visitors to the Guild, should abide by:
Many Paths We Walk
Only Your Own Path Is Right
Way of the Ninja
The Way of the Ninja is a path to attain enlightenment in your daily tasks and duties.
The Ninja is responsible for protecting and upholding the honour of the guild.
Be respectful to all other people inside and outside of the guild.
Theft and the murder of guild staff and members inside guild grounds
is perilous and offenders will not be safe within the walls of the Empire.
Inhumation of guild members or associates on guild grounds is allowed
and benevolent sparring in the guild dojo is fully endorsed.
The Ninja is bound to every other Ninja in the guild. To kill, steal from,
or betray your comrades is to bring shame upon the Ninja. Ninjas have a duty
to carry out the task of enlightenment humbly and professionally.
Any kind of arrangements with the soon to be enlightened and the contents
of the contract scroll are to be treated confidentially.
As the Ninja seek The Way, they may expect the following from those
they meet along their path; Contracted targets are expected to defend themselves,
but harassment for attempted or successful inhumes will not be tolerated.
The Ninja respects the inhumed and shall not take their belongings.
Friendly PK is sanctioned, as long as it does not affect the honour of the guild
or the Ninja involved.
The Ninja bears the right to sell any item sold or created in the guild to outsiders.
Ninja Belts and Headbands may not be sold for profit, but can be gifted to honour
sponsors of the Dead Poets Society.
Foreign colleagues are welcome to use our facilities and pursue the contracts
on our scroll, provided they respect our guild and our fellow Ninja.
Any monies gained from the successful closing of said contracts are welcomed
as a donation to the guild Dead Poets Society.
There are many paths to be taken in pursuit of The Way. It is the duty
of the Sensei, Mentors, Avatar, and your fellow ninja to shed shadow upon
your path and to guide you back should you fall astray.
This is The Way of the enlightened Ninja.

Particularities of the Ninja
The Ninja is the assassin guild native to Agatea.
The guild provide an honourable way to end the life of enemies throughout Agatea.
Under the guidance of the sensei, ninjas are expected to become masters of Agatean culture and arts and to uphold the Way of the Ninja in their endeavours.
For more information about the Ninja you can consult A Guide to the Ninja of Agatea in the entrance of the ninja library.
Ninjas progress from genin to chunin and then to jounin after passing the test for each stage.
Advancing skills
Master Yung trains ninja after they have completed a chore.
He wanders the guild but can usually be found in the storeroom, the relaxation area, the dojo, the pottery room, the restaurant and the garden.
The next location he chooses is random and you can not follow him (unless he specifies a direction he is moving) to find him but have to search the guild each time he strolls out of the room.
Master Yung
To advance your skills as a ninja you must visit Master Yung. He will require you to do a small chore before you can advance.
Storeroom
- Tools for chores are found in the storeroom southwest of the restaurant.
- There are tools on the shelves and in the box, just have to look at each and take it from the box or the shelves
- Remember to return the tools as well
Chores
Note: the lounge is the same room as the relaxation area where Sec Li resides
As well, if you are not sure which room you should do the chore in, ask the ninja channel or hold the tool and type syntax <action> in each room you think it could be to check
Below are examples of chores and the steps needed to do them:
- Planting seeds
- Go to storeroom

- Move to the productive garden
- Hold the wooden hoe and type
prepare soil - Take seeds from packet and type

Master Yung also teaches commands if you ask him politely to teach you.
You can ask Master Yung to 'use your animal title' or 'remove your animal title' to change your guild title. Master Yung will also grant the titles Genin, Chunin and Jounin.
Master Yung also helps ninja who need to restore their honour, by witnessing their seppuku.
Newly joined ninja can only train primary skills up to level 50.
Chunin Test
If you are ready, Master Yung will mention that you are ready to take the Chunin Test after you have advanced:
Master Yung whispers to you: You are now of the level to join the ranks of
chunin. If you feel ready to inhume, say so and I will examine you.
If you have failed the test, you need to wait for about 1 to 2 minutes before being able to take it again.
Once a ninja has passed the Chunin test, they can train primary skills up to level 175.
- Being proficient in the skills needed to inhume is necessary before being allowed to take the test.
- This is usually when you have advanced your primary skills to the max of what an Genin can advance
- To become a chunin, a genin must tell Master Yung that he or she is ready to inhume
- Master Yung will test your knowledge on the ninja guild and inhumation by asking 5 timed questions:
- He will ask about the names of ninja staff involved in the inhumation process
- He will ask details about any of the contractable NPCs
- The Chunin test is not deadly.
- Completing the Chunin test will allow you to inhume NPCs and Agatean family-issued contracts on NPCs.
- This will not force you to become a player killer.
- Master Yung will notify the Ninjas talker channel that you have become a Chunin and you can set your title as Chunin as well
Ru Noperi
In order to graduate from the guild and train primary skills up to level 300 you need to pass the Ru Noperi.
- Starting the Ru Noperi is considered part of the test.
- Once you successfully complete the Ru Noperi you will be allowed to inhume NPCs and if you are PK other player killers.
- You need to be a ninja of the Serpent level or above to attempt the Ru Noperi.
- You will become a Jounin after passing and may close all contracts listed in the scroll, vote in elections and become the Avatar, a Mentor or the Sensei
- Jounin are also no longer required to do chores for Master Yung to advance skills
- Completing the Ru Noperi used to be required for Agatean family-issued contracts on NPCs and it used to automatically turn you into a player killer, but this has changed.
Commands
Usually you have to say teach me please in the same room as Master Yung and do a chore if you have not done one already.
These commands are exclusive to assassins and are taught by Master Yung:
* These commands are also shared with the Thieves' Guild.
Master Yung also teaches:
Master Yung also teaches commands to other assassins. Teachers in other Assassin Guilds may also teach commands to ninjas.
Certificates
Every Specialisation grants some specials items as certificates. For the Ninja these special certificates come in the form of Ninja Belts & Headbands. The belt also doubles as a Katana/Wakizashi/Ninjato/Dao scabbard.
They can be bought from Wun Hair Bun in front of the library upstairs in the Ninja guild.
Contracts
Like all assassin guilds, a unique list of NPC contracts can be placed and viewed here. NPC contracts can be closed four times by anyone with the inhume command. After eight months or so the closed NPC contracts then again become available to be closed another four times.
Ninja who have passed the Chunin Test are able to close Agatean family inhumation contracts as well.

The Basket Room and Dodging
The Ninja guildhouse possess a mechanical machine to TM one's dodging skill.
When cranking the handle of the machine spiked baskets will start moving and hit those failing to dodge.
The command for starting the training is:
train at the {beginner|intermediate|expert} level
You will need fighting gp to use this machine.
Training is not a passive thing, one will have to manually try to dodge, reading the text about an incoming basket and choosing to dodge {right|left|low}.
After having chosen how to dodge, there seems to be a further skillcheck research If this has been marked on a page, it's because there was something that probably isn't known, that the person who edited the page thinks could be found out. Perhaps you could figure this thing out, and be famous evermore. .
Not choosing in time to dodge or failing to dodge will get the character hurt.
Be advised not to try to use the baskets with connectivity problems, as the character will also get hurt when you have lost your connection. Wimpy setting will still work though and might spare you a death, it is advised to set wimpy to 30% by typing wimpy 30.
