High Five

The end of the Seven Signs, instanced Olympiad and clan bonuses

Chaotic Throne: High Five is the Lineage 2 update released on December 27, 2010. It continued the global Seven Signs story with a new quest series and extra rewards, sped up character progression several times over and raised the bonuses for hunting in a party. Most classes got new skills, the number of raid quests grew noticeably and the raid bosses of Destiny appeared.

The data reflects the l2db.ru overview of High Five.

Olympiad

  • Minimum participants: team matches - 5 teams, class matches - 10 participants, non-class matches - 10 participants.
  • Stadiums became instance zones; up to 160 matches can run at the same time. A stadium holds no more than 18 spectators.
  • Three new stadium types were added: Hero's Vestiges Arena, Orbis Arena and Three Bridges Arena.

Party and PK

The party experience penalty depends on the gap to the highest-level member:

Gap to the highest level in the partyShare of experience received
1-9 levels below100%
10-14 levels below30%
15 or more levels below0%

PK penalties became harsher: PKs have a higher chance to drop items, each kill gives more karma, and a character with karma above 0 gets less experience.

The experience needed to level up was reduced for characters of level 78 and above.

Clans

  • Clan halls sell new goods: Scroll: Enchant Armor (C-Grade), Scroll: Enchant Armor (B-Grade), Scroll: Enchant Armor (A-Grade), SP Scroll: Highest Grade.
  • The rewards for the clan quests A Clan's Fame, A Clan's Reputation and The Clan's Prestige were doubled.
  • For clans of level 6-8, the reputation points needed to raise the clan level were halved.

Mail

The mail window got an address book. Autocomplete now works, and double-clicking a character's name puts it into the "To" field.
