Mission Creation

Here are the guidelines for mission creation. Refer to Mission Guidelines for a full breakdown of missions:

All missions must be created following the Mission Creation Template shown below.
Players are only allowed to create one mission at a time.
Players must use the thread's "Description" (Under the Title of the Topic) to list the rank and classification (Universal, Village Exclusive, Missing Ninja) of the mission.
Word Count Requirements and Rewards must match what is outlined in the "Word Counts and Rewards" Section.
Players are allowed to create missions with their challenges. However, only members of NRPG staff can create Crafting missions.
The NRPG staff recognizes that players may want to create their missions to build on their character development. Character Exclusive missions are welcome to be created, but NRPG staff may deny or postpone approving the mission to limit potential abuse.

Word Counts and Rewards

Below is the breakdown of Word Count Requirements and Rewards based on Rank (WC / Ryo / AP):

E Rank: 500 WC / 1,000 Ryo / 5 AP
D Rank: 1,000 WC / 2,000 Ryo / 10 AP
C Rank: 2,000 WC / 4,000 Ryo / 20 AP
B Rank: 3,000 WC / 6,000 Ryo / 30 AP
A Rank: 4,000 WC / 8,000 Ryo / 40 AP
S Rank*: 5,000 - 10,000 WC / 10,000 - 20,000 Ryo / 50-100 AP **

Challenges
Challenges are modifiers that increase the difficulty of the mission. Some missions may have multiple challenges combined for a challenging quest. In most cases, these missions will either add more to the word count requirement, have a remote mission location, limit the size of a mission group, or combine all three. Completing a challenge adds a bonus to its Reward. This section outlines the different challenges missions may have:

Arc: A chain of missions that are threaded together to make a common narrative.

All mission group members must meet the character requirements to go on the missions. In most cases, this will mean they will have had to complete the missions earlier in the chain.
The player must provide a link to the completed prior mission in the arc when starting the continuing mission.
Should the player fail any part of the Arc due to an Ambush, they may be unable to complete subsequent missions.
Each mission in the arc after the first applies the Bonus.
The final mission of an Arc may provide additional rewards to mark their completion.
Bonus: +25% Ryo and AP

Covert: Missions that limit the number of players that can make up the mission group. Only the mission group members and their village's Kage know the details of the mission.

A maximum of two people can be part of the mission group.
Exclusive to Village Ninja. Missing ninjas may be assigned to Covert missions with the approval of the Village's Kage.
Should a rival ninja successfully Ambush a mission with this challenge, they cannot earn the Bonus. Village Sentinels also cannot assist during an ambush.
Bonus: +50% Ryo and AP

Crafting: Missions that reward material from the Crafting System.

The mission location must always be at a nation's borders, which makes Ambush by rival ninjas always possible.
Increases the Word Count Requirement by 50%.
Bonus: A Material whose rank matches that of the mission in addition to the reward.

Hunter: A special type of mission that requires the mission group to fight and defeat a Non-Playable Character (NPC) in combat to be completed.

Hunter missions do not have a Word Count Requirement.
Sometimes may be combined with other challenges to create a challenging experience.
It cannot be Ambushed regardless of what other challenges may be included in the mission.
They can be extremely dangerous and may result in permanent injury or DEATH of a player.
Bonus: +100% Ryo and AP
Bonus: The player earns an additional Bounty based on their rank. See Hunter Missions.

Long Distance: Missions with a remote Mission Location, such as minor villages or the Land of Iron.

The mission group must complete a travel topic to the Mission Location following the Travel Rules before starting the mission. The players must state they are attempting to complete a mission on this travel topic. Once the travel is complete, the mission may begin as usual.
Players earn their Reward at the end of the mission thread but must make a travel topic to return home.
Because these missions occur outside of Great Nations borders, they are always subject to Ambush by rival ninjas.
Bonus: +50% AP

Professional: Requires a member of the mission group to have a certain specialty.

Can only be applied to missions B Rank and higher.
A specific specialty (Such as Medical, Fuuinjutsu, Weaponry, etc.) will be listed in the Character Requirements.
At least one member of the mission group must meet the Character Requirements to start the mission.
Increases the Word Count Requirement by 20%.
Bonus: +50% Ryo

Sabotage: Missions whose Mission location is inside a Rival Nation's country meant to cause havoc to other villages. These are meant to be the most difficult non-combat challenges.

It can only be applied to missions A Rank and higher.
These missions are always Village Exclusive. Missing ninjas may be allowed to complete such missions as mercenaries with the approval of the Village's Kage.
These missions are innately Long Distance; as such, they cannot be combined with said challenge and do receive an additional bonus.
Always subject to Ambush.
Regardless of the task, the consequences of the mission are purely for character development and do not directly harm the village being sabotaged.
Increases the Word Count Requirement by 50%.
Bonus: +100% Ryo and AP

All missions with challenges will recalculate their adjustments and show the correct Word Count Requirement and Rewards. If the calculated amount is not a whole number (as with some AP calculations), that number is rounded up to the following whole number.

A mission with multiple challenges uses the base amounts for all modifiers. For Example: If a B Rank Mission (3,000 WC / 6000 Ryo / 30 AP) were both Professional and Covert, the new amounts would be 3,600 WC / 12,000 Ryo / 45 AP.
