The Ninja Team is a group of J-Mods who specialize in rapid and precise action, taking on the day to day concerns of our players with an aim to raise quality of life throughout RuneScape. Disciplined and focused, our Ninjas strive to deliver maximum impact. Sometimes they choose to strike, coordinating their attacks in a specific skill or space in Gielinor. Other times they might make multiple smaller attacks, taking out a horde of concerns from all over the place.

What makes The Ninja Team different to the other teams at Jagex is that they target small changes that can make a big difference to your gameplay experience. Whether that's making inventory fixes, adjusting chat filters or even just adding teleports to hard-to-reach areas, our talented Ninjas aim to sneak in and solve your problems - sometimes before you even knew you had one!

But even the most skilled Ninjas need good Recon for their next mission. Experts trained to go beyond the Dojo and search out new challenges still unknown to the Ninjas.

Mission and Objectives


Work to identify and document a comprehensive list of small improvements that are within the scope of the Ninja Team (examples below) and provide a player impact rating for each.

Examples:
- Add right-click option to deposit fishing nets for “deposit all rawyou in fish” (deep sea fishing)
- Open skill guide on your current level rather than level 1 (no more scrolling!)
- Something using an old, clunky interface being brought up to date (charming imp before & after)
- X minigame needs a teleport which will vastly encourage use
- Note: No quest content (quest rewards potentially in scope)
