1) The arenas for the Grand Olympiad will be changed to instanced zones so that 160 Olympiad matches can take place at the same time.

2) The minimum number of players who must have applied for participation in a match has been modified:
Open Class: from 9 to 10 persons
Class Specific: from 5 to 10 persons
Open Group: from 9 to 4 teams

3) When a player applies for participation in a tournament, the random matching up of opponents has been changed to a method where players are as far as possible matched with opponents who have a similar number of Olympiad Points.

4) The awarding of Olympiad Points has been changed as follows:
- When a character first attains Noblesse, he or she will be awarded 10 Points
- Every week 10 Points will be added
- This goes on for 4 weeks, so that the player has in the end 50 free Olympiad Points

5) The command /complete has been added which can be used on targeted Noblesse characters and will tell that characters complete Olympiad Points as well as the number of his of her remaining matches.

6) There is a per-week limit on the number of matches a Noblesse character can participate in:
- Maximum number of total matches per week: 70
- Maximum number of Open Class matches per week: 30

7) The maximum number of spectators per arena has been changed to 20 persons.

8 ) Three kinds of arenas have been added:

The already existing arenas were given the background pattern of a real-life olympiad stadium:
Image
In which arena a player will be teleported is automatically selected at the time of entry into the arena.

9) Three once-per-day quests that have to do with the Olympiad matches can be picked up from the Olympiad Manager. These quests are reset every morning at 06:30 real time.

- For being among the top 10% from 80 to 75 Points
- For being among the top 25% from 55 to 55 Points

19) A new feature was added which permits watching Olympiad matches in camera mode. The details how this camera mode works are listed in the menu of the Broadcasting Towers. There you can read for example that the altitude of the camera can be adjusted with the E and C key on your keyboard.

20) The possibility to record broadcast Olympiad matches was added.

An interesting aspect of this skill is that from character lvl 76 onwards its power is not increased by overenchanting but by learning additional levels of the skill from a skill trainer, of course with 100% success rate, but at a considerable SP cost.

In High Five the lower A-Grade armors Dark Crystal and Tallum will be available in the Luxury Shop at Giran. For example a full Tallum Plate Armor heavy set, including Helmet, Boots and Gloves will only cost 9 million adena.

Ancient Adena will be buyable for regular adena from the Black Marketeer of Mammon in every town.

Wondorous Cubic:

The difference in value is expressed in the number of Blue or Yellow Cubic Pieces you need to get a One-Time Wondrous Cubic (Green, Red or White can not be used to exchange a one-time Wondrous Cubic). It costs for a normal Wondrous Cubic 30 Rough Blue Cubic Pieces or 10 Fine Blue Cubic Pieces.
A Refined Wondrous Cubic for One-Time Use, which produces a random Life Stone, costs 50 Rough Yellow Cubic Pieces or 15 Fine Yellow Cubic Pieces or 100 Rough Blue Cubic Pieces or 30 Fine Blue Cubic Pieces.
Image
From a normal One-Time Wondrous Cubic you get a Cubic Fragment for a normal or Blessed Enchant Scroll, from a Refined Wondrous Cubic you get a random Life Stone.

Nevit system:

Image
In High Five Part 2 an addition to the Nevit System will be introduced, the so-called "Nevit's Arrival". This addition to the Vitality System has nothing to do with recommendations, it does not require interaction with other players. When you log in a character the first time on a day (the reset time is 06:30 in the morning), you will get what could be called a "Nevit Clock" which is starting to run when you kill your first monster and counting down from 04:00 hours to zero. When a player logs off or enters a peace zone, the timer is stopped.
As time passes, the so-called "Arrival Probability" increases. You can see the probability (in that case 57%) and the remaining time in the upper part of the mini interface in this screenshot:
Image
Apart from the natural passing of time, the Arrival Probability increases also when you kill a monster that is at most 8 levels below you and acquire exp points (i.e. Quest Monsters don't count). Johann's character in the screenshot above is still a very low level, with a lot of exp points per kill, so the probability increased by 57% within one minute. This method of driving up the Arrival Probability works also when the "Nevit Clock" has run out. Please note that exp points acquired in a Peace Zone, for example as a quest reward, do not increase the Arrival Probability.

The Arrival Probability also increases when your level of Vitality decreases by one bar or when your character gains one level aka levels up. In this way the Probability increases by more percent than through passage of time or exp collecting.

All three methods, timer, exp and Vitality/level-up, are applied to the character, no matter whether in main- or sub-class and how often main and sub get changed.

When the Arrival Probability has reached 100%, the spirit of Nevit will come over you, and after those 3 minutes (see below) the Probability counter is reset to zero. Then it starts again to count to [img]100%.
http://images.elliebelly.net/uploads/nevit2.jpg[/img]

When the angel Nevit is with you, your Vitality will be for a duration of 3 minutes set to a fully charged lvl 4, a "buff" that will not vanish when you die. After the 3 minutes your Vitality is exactly at the level it was before Nevit descended from the skies. But keep in mind, when you are under the influence of Nevit's blessing, Vitality Replenishing Herbs and (for non-NA territories) other Vitality items have no effect.

New hunting ground:

Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Magmeld is a new lore-heavy hunting ground where the situation changes according to the quests the players successfully or unsuccessfully complete. The concept is remotely similar to the opening up of Hellbound, but in a circular, repetitive way, like with the occupation of the Seeds in Gracia

Things are different than you see on stupid private servers, so it's useless to complain. It's not such a dramatic change to the game as you may think... it's still same thing just with some differences in skills/oly/hunting grounds. Tanks aren't so overpowered as you think, and they did some changes that had to be done, like kamael's skill nerf or lvl 78+ better xp or olympiad drastic change. Imo it's much better now.
