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.
Weekly match limits:
| Competition type | Maximum matches |
|---|---|
| Total | 70 |
| Non-class | 60 |
| Class | 30 |
| Team | 10 |
Party and PK
The party experience penalty depends on the gap to the highest-level member:
| Gap to the highest level in the party | Share of experience received |
|---|---|
| 1-9 levels below | 100% |
| 10-14 levels below | 30% |
| 15 or more levels below | 0% |
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.
The mail window got an address book. Autocomplete now works, and double-clicking a character's name puts it into the "To" field.
