Historical patch notes
- The February 5 Gunslinger announcement says 10.4 Part 1 and level-99 Ninjas already exist. This bounds the earlier Ninja phase by February 5; it does not date its initial launch. Evidence: contemporary already live reference. thai_gunslinger_notice
Player guide
Thai 10.4 Part 1 establishes an earlier Ninja phase before the separate Gunslinger update.
What to explore in this stage
- Use the qualified Ninja job and equipment guide for this stage.
- Explore only the Hugel-region systems confirmed in the local bundle.
Before the local update
- Gunslinger belongs to the following documented Thai part; regional minigames and other systems need separate inclusion checks.
These activities describe the intended stage. Exact local requirements and availability must be confirmed in the released build before this draft becomes a player announcement.
Developer guide
Implementation work
- Recover Ninja skills, equipment and projectile sources.
- Verify which Hugel maps and systems were included in the Thai Part 1 release.
- Keep Gunslinger disabled until its own stage.
Character and world migration
- Review Ninja character and ammunition data; preserve earlier classes and equipment.
Acceptance checks
- Ninja job change and resource consumption work for the selected revision.
- Gunslinger cannot be selected early.
- All included regional services have explicit provenance.
Affected areas: jobs, world, items.
Use the mechanics history for candidate rules and developer reference for pinned comparison files. The release checklist defines the future evidence, migration and runtime gates.
Unresolved before qualification
- Thai release date.
- Jobs.
- Maps.
- Projectile economy.
