Grand Olympiad Enhancements

Grand Olympiad arenas have been changed to instanced zones. Matches can now be held in 160 stadiums at the same time.

Participant and Audience Limits The minimum number of participants for a match changed. Additionally, now all characters that have requested a match can enter the stadium.

Match Type	Current Participant Limit	Previous Participant Limit
Class-irrelevant Individual	11 characters	9 characters
Class Individual	11 characters	5 characters
Class-irrelevant Team	6 teams	9 teams

The maximum number of people who can watch a match at the same time increased to 18 per stadium.
The waiting period between matches decreased to 25 seconds (was 45 seconds).
You now cannot request a match if your character's inventory or weight is above 80%.

Camera and Replay Viewing

With the new Camera Mode, characters can move about freely while watching Grand Olympiad matches. For more information about this new mode, press the Help button while viewing a match.
A Replay function has been added to allow spectators to record a match and play it back later.

Participant Matching

The previous system in which opponents were selected randomly has been changed to a system in which opponents with similar Olympiad points are matched first. Points are now accumulated by:

• 10 points for reaching Noblesse for the first time.
• 10 more points every week.
• A total of 50 points given to every character during each Olympiad cycle.

Noblesse Characters

Noblesse characters can now join only up to a set number of matches per week. This maximum number resets at the beginning of each Olympiad cycle.

• Total Matches: 70 maximum
• Class-Irrelevant Individual Matches: 60 maximum
• Class Individual Matches: 30 maximum
• Class-Irrelevant Team Matches: 10 maximum

Noblesse characters can us the /olympiadstat command on other characters to check a targeted character's Olympiad points, personal record, and remaining number of matches.

New Stadiums and Stadium Changes

The appearance of the Olympiad stadium has changed into a rectangular grassy arena surrounded by a coliseum-like building. The sky in this arena changes randomly.
Three new stadiums have been added:

Orbis Arena	An enormous octagonal structure with stone statues at its center. This structure has gaps between the statues that characters can move freely through.
Three Bridges Arena	The stadium is split into two halves that are connected in the center by three short, parallel bridges that are interspersed with stone statues.
Hero's Vestiges Arena	This square stadium contains a stone statue at its east, west, south, and north sides. These stone statues block the gates from which participants enter, making this mid-sized stadium look even smaller.

Daily Quests

The Olympiad Manager gives out Grand Olympiad daily quests. The quests are reset at 6:30 a.m. (server time) every day.

• Olympiad Starter (lvl75): Participate and complete three, five, or ten Olympiad Matches. Win or lose, you receive a reward for participating.
• Olympiad Veteran (lvl75): Participate and complete five of each type of match (1v1 Match, 1v1 Class Match, and 3v3 Team Match) to claim a reward.
• Olympiad Undefeated (lvl75): Win two, five, or ten matches without being defeated to claim a reward.

Olympiad Point Changes

Olympiad Point settlement rules have changed:
