The Grand Olympiad is a monthly series of duels between Noblesse characters, and the best of every class becomes a Hero for the next month. This page explains who may register, how a match goes, how the points move and what a Hero receives.
Who can take part
Only a Noblesse may register, and only on the main class: see Noblesse quest chain: Possessor of a Precious Soul for the quest chain. Registration is done at Grand Olympiad Manager, who stands in every town, during the competition hours of the evening. A cycle lasts one calendar month.
- Two kinds of matches exist: within one class and without class limits. Class matches start when 5 players of a class are registered, open matches when 9 players are waiting.
- The inventory must be filled to no more than 80%. A fuller bag means a refused match and lost points.
- A character with zero Olympiad points is not admitted.
How a match goes
Opponents are paired at random. System messages count down from 120 seconds, then both are moved to a stadium, where HP, MP and CP are restored, every buff and debuff is removed and 60 seconds are given to prepare. A summoned pet is sent back; a servitor and cubics stay with their owner.
- A fight lasts at most 6 minutes. Whoever drops to zero HP first loses; if nobody does, the one who dealt more damage wins, and the damage of a servitor is not counted.
- Only soulshots, spiritshots, echo crystals, energy stones and firecrackers may be used. Hero skills and clan skills do not work, and neither do the skills that return or recall a character.
- Leaving the game after the first summons counts as a defeat and costs points.
Olympiad points
Every Noblesse starts a cycle with 18 points and receives 3 more each week. After a match a share of the loser's points goes to the winner, so the total is a result of both the number of wins and the strength of the opponents. The current score is shown by Grand Olympiad Manager.
At the end of the month a character with 50 points or more may exchange them for Noblesse Gate Pass at the rate of 1,000 passes per point; with 49 points nothing is exchanged. The passes pay for the Noblesse teleports and for goods of the Olympiad manager, among them enchant scrolls of grades B, A and S.
What a Hero receives
The Noblesse with the most points in a class becomes the Hero of that class for the whole next month. The names of the heroes are listed on Monument of Heroes in the towns, and the same monument hands out the hero items.
- The hero aura and Wings of Destiny Circlet, an accessory that disappears together with the status.
- One hero weapon of your choice: Infinity Blade, Infinity Cleaver, Infinity Axe, Infinity Rod, Infinity Crusher, Infinity Scepter, Infinity Stinger, Infinity Fang, Infinity Bow, Infinity Wing or Infinity Spear. It cannot be traded, dropped, enchanted or given a special ability.
- Five hero skills: Heroic Miracle, Heroic Berserker, Heroic Valor, Heroic Grandeur and Heroic Dread. They work only on the main class and not inside the Olympiad.
- The hero voice: a chat channel heard on the whole server, usable once every 10 seconds.
Matches can be watched for free through Grand Olympiad Manager: the spectator sees the names, the HP and CP bars and the buffs of both fighters.
