Bloodline Rosters Removal 08/04/19

The majority of the crew have voted in favor of removing bloodline rosters meaning that all RPCs will be able to be of any bloodline you choose regardless of availability. This also means that the bloodline check is canceled. Thank you for your understanding.

Any training that was done for formless may be exchanged for an Auto Learned Technique without approval, just be sure to link to the announcement in the training section.

Buki Spec Exclusive Style Addition 08/07/19

Reiken no Michi [ Way of the Spirit Sword ] is a very powerful bukijutsu style that is exclusive to bukijutsu specialist class characters and was modeled after the eight gates. Reiken no Michi is based on a warrior dedicating their life to the sword (or any other weapon you choose) and manifesting their inner warrior spirit. The idea was for buki specs to stand shoulder to shoulder with tai specs. While Reiken no Michi does not have as much DR as the eight gates it also lacks the physical damage as risks but is still far more potent than your average buki style. Enjoy!

Added to the Endgame system:

This class discipline may not be of the Medical, Puppeteer or Scholar Class unless the class is obtained as either of the user's original classes. The third class is full access to a discipline and half of all the class's technique and style slots. No cross class perks, learning bonuses, or additional resources can be obtained with the third class. In addition, Keystone Techniques and additional customs from Keystone PA may not be obtained through the third discipline. Classes that grant their own PA with body rank progression are not granted. Worker class does not grant additional titles through body rank advancement.

Third Class Endgame Update (Again) 08/17/19

The Third Class addition to the Endgame system has been updated to answer some questions but is also all-around a lot more worth pursuing because I am a generous king:

Third Class: With 500,000 AC above 200,000 AC (700,000 AC total) you can obtain a third class for your RPC. This class discipline may not be of the Medical, Puppeteer or Scholar Class unless the class is obtained as either of the user's original classes. The third class gives full access to one discipline, all technique and style slots, all learning reductions, and all resource increases. No cross class perks can be obtained with the third class. In addition, Keystone Techniques and additional customs from Keystone PA may not be obtained through the third discipline. Classes that grant their own PA with body rank progression are not granted. Worker class does not grant additional titles through body rank advancement. The third class does not grant access to esoteric knowledge such as but not limited to class restricted techniques, the eight gates, Flying Thunder God, Yin Seal, and Reiken no Michi.

Taijutsu and Bukijutsu Class Notes Update 08/20/19

This small buff has been added to the taijutsu and bukijutsu classes. It's in the class notes similarly to the mirrored slots ability for ninjutsu class. Basically, you choose the style you use the most as your signature style on your profile and get [1] custom slot per mastered stage based on that style out of it for a total of 6 slots. You can use this signature style perk if you are single or double tai/buki class or you can have two signature styles of taijutsu and bukijutsu if you are both tai and buki classes at the same time. This is just a perk to add more style-based customization that some of you have been asking for. Enjoy.

• When you select this class you may choose [1] Signature Style of Taijutsu/Bukijutsu to be listed beneath your chosen discipline. The Signature Style is the martial art that the warrior relies on the most and thus [1] custom technique slot that is representative of the Signature Style is added per stage of the style mastered. Up to [6] Signature Style-based custom technique slots are added once all six stages have been mastered. The Signature Style can be changed at any time without a respec. Specialists can only choose [1] Signature Style. Place this code beneath the chosen Taijutsu/Bukijutsu discipline's description:

[b]Signature Style:[/b] [ Insert the taijutsu style you use the most here ]

Ninjutsu Renaissance Update 08/24/19

The six ninjutsu lists of the five elements and non-elemental techniques have been completely updated by the mod team. These updates include reformatting, new techniques, and fixed malfunctions. All of the technique lists are also more unique to SR which is always our goal. We have also added status effects for the five elements. With some exceptions, everyone will be able to use these elemental status effects with a handful of techniques from the lists but single ninjutsu class may apply Tier 1 and Tier 2 status effects more freely and ninjutsu specialists may apply all 4 Tiers to all techniques of the appropriate element. The old lists can be easily found in the archive for comparison and easier profile updating, which there is no hurry on. The updates are as follows:

1. New status effects by Necro of petrification (doton), burning (katon), drench (suiton), suffocation (hybrid), vertigo (fuuton), and grappled (hybrid). Paralysis has been added to Raiton as well.
2. Maruton list by Kondo.
3. Katon list by Necro, Kondo.
4. Suiton list by Necro, Ozy.
5. Raiton list by Kondo.
6. Doton list by Kondo, Ozy.
7. Fuuton list by Eva, Ozy.

Future Major Rewriting Updates

We know when the rewrites will be finished because we have set a target. Our goal is to finish the rewrites by December or January which we are optimistic about but is not guaranteed because we are all volunteering for the various projects.
1. Optimize the base playstyles that everyone uses of nin, gen, tai, and buki including their clases. This has been completed and was the biggest task we had on our plate.
2. Buff the niche playstyles to be on par with the foundation so medical, sealing, puppetry, and tamers will all be receiving buffs and updates. We will also finally add our inventory system. This is what we are currently working on and will all be released at once.
3. Replace the DR system with a stat system and buff/update all bloodlines to the current systems. This will be our next and last guildwide rewriting project. DR is present in every corner of the guild so we are compiling a list of what would need to change and how. We will also make our new stat system prototype available before the update and we will also take any ideas or suggestions before the implementation.

The end of the rewrites is in sight. We will still do work beyond this like making better demon techniques or other small updates but the guildwide rewrites will be pretty much done.

New Chakra/Stamina Recovery System and Final Style Replacement 10/21/19

The outdated chakra and stamina regeneration system has been replaced. Now you can get all of your character's base chakra and stamina back in one uninjured out of combat recovery post with some regulations.

There is also one final melee style replacement from Kondo before his departure from the mod team after many months of doing amazing work, especially regarding the styles. The style is called Kakumei no Hono Ryu and it is a more original and optimized replacement for Shigure Souen from SN. Feel free to replace Shigure Souen with any other style of your chosing up to the stage you learned it from as always.

New Squadron System and Performer Update 11/8/19

Courtesy of Matty, we now have a brand new system for hiring NPC squads. Bringing a squad along with you on a mission offers a variety of combat buffs such as korabo, medical, genjutsu breaking, and much more. The performer class, being the bards they are, have a lot of new squad-related skills in their disciplines making them second to none in squad usage.
