Equipment

• Smoke bombs and egg bombs – A Ninja strikes and fades away, disappearing in a puff of smoke. Smoke bombs and egg bombs are essentially the same thing; smoke bombs are made by alchemists using eggs and ginseng while egg bombs are made by cooks using eggs and flour. They can only be used by characters with 50 or higher Ninjitsu skill.
• Shuriken and ninja belts – Shuriken are held within a ninja belt which must be equipped, also you must have a free hand to throw one. A blacksmith makes 2 charge shuriken, but by loading them into a belt and then removing them these can be combined into 10 charge items. Double click the belt and click the resulting cursor on your target, shuriken are affective at a range of 3 – 9 tiles and can be poisoned. Darkglow poison is sometimes used on these because of its increased affectiveness at a distance.
• Fukiya & Darts – These blow-pipe weapons work at a lesser distance than shuriken, 1 – 4 tiles. The fukiya is made by a carpenter, the darts by a bowyer. These too can be poisoned.
