Today's update mainly includes small tweaks to existing systems and improvements to playability when Keyboard-only mode (this is important for eventual Gamepad support). We also reworked one of the most iconic maps in the Leaf Village!
Behind the scenes, there is also a lot of work being done on the new content expansions.
Features
Bingo Book Bounty Location
Players who reach a set threshold for Ryo now have their locations tracked and visible on everyone's Bingo Books. This is because if you are infamous, you are being watched - always! The threshold is currently 500.Added Keyboard Navigation for Tutorial/Hint windows
The hope is to slowly make playing the game without any mouse inputs possible. From then on, Gamepad integration will be simple.Added Tab Key to change tabs in windows
(Admins) Added Minimum/Maximum Level for Top Up Plans This will be used in the near future for level up special top up plans to celebrate reaching each milestone for characters.

New Leaf Village Hotsprings
Glow up by Luhan!
This is one of the most iconic maps for Nin Online for me. It was one of the first maps I ever designed for the game and I always envisioned it to be a nice spot to chill out with your friends in. Now it actually is! You can read the 2013 development log where it was first shown off here!
Balance
Shirokata Damage reduced from 47 to 39
Shirokata Strength requirement reduced from 85 to 75
Shirokata now grants +2 Chakra
Shirokata was in a weird place. The idea of the sword was to be used on hybrid builds but its stat requirement was too high for them, limiting its overall viability
Iron Scythe Base Damage increased from 39 to 47
Iron Scythe Strength requirement increased from 75 to 85
Replaces Shirokata as decent mid tier weapon option for High Strength builds.
Changes
Added Textured Background and added different colored borders for different villages to Player Info Menu Prev. Right-click Menu
This texture will be customizable in the future!
Improved Day/Night Overlays Night darkness is slightly toned up and god rays now use the color of the sky and don't muddy graphics behind it.
