What are the available chakra natures in game?
The game follows the same set of chakra natures found in the Naruto series.

How will my chakra nature be determined?
Unlike in Naruto, mastering one's primary chakra nature in Shinobi Life Online is something all genin level shinobi can do. So we are letting the players choose their primary chakra nature. Once their character becomes jonin level, the secondary chakra nature will be revealed and unlocked. However, this secondary chakra nature was determined during character creation for that character, meaning you cannot choose your secondary chakra nature.

What are the chances of getting a Chakra Mix?
Higher than obtaining a Kekkei Genkai. 1 in 500 players will get a Chakra Mix. For more information read the following: here.

What are the chances of getting a Kekkei Genkai?
Extremely low. During character creation a special algorithm will be used to randomly grant some players a Kekkei Genkai and/or select a couple of players and give them a genetic mutation that results in a special power. These people will also be given the opportunity to pass on their special power to new players and progressively build a clan consisting of people with that special power. The ones getting a special power from someone else in this manner can call it a Kekkei Genkai (a technique limited to inheritance by blood). And in the same way the people that inherited their power from someone else will be given the opportunity to pass that power on to new players. This will result in some truly exclusive clans that have a Kekkei Genkai circulating.

Will you continue to add jutsus to the game after the full/final release?
Yes. This is something players should watch out for.

Will armour/weapons paid for with real money have stats/attributes associated with them?
They will, however players in game will still be able to match these players, not only in equipment, but also in skill.

What are some ways players can make money other than trading
Players who can’t/won’t sell armour and/or weapons have the ability to make money by doing missions for their villages and the NPCs, as well as doing things for other players.

[Reminance]

Will players be able to combine or infuse weapons with their own chakra?
Players will be able to combine regular chakra with weapons, but it has not been determined whether or not you can do this with nature chakra. Combining weapons with regular chakra will of course have its own advantages over plain weapons.

Can players design their own weapon/armour?
No, but adding your own symbol to an armour's design will be a feature available through the item shop.

[Reminance]

What will I be able to buy with real money in-game?
In game purchases will be only for cosmetics, they will not give you any advantages. You will be able to buy unique weapons and armour, but these will only be different in the way they look compared to regular items in the game. There will be other special items as well, not just weapons and armour, but the point is it won't be Pay2Win.

Will there only be a single server, and will it be Hardcore?
There will be a single server type, and this will be a mix between normal and hardcore. This means that the players will have the best of both worlds. There will be certain zones where perma-death is implemented, however you will be notified when entering these areas.

Will there be animations for simple tasks such as opening and rearranging items in a player's inventory or trading?
There will be animations for simple tasks, but these will come much later.
