Early Olympiad battles, no October Hero: Aden and Rune checks
First battles on 30–31 October with no October Hero. Registration times, level 110 eligibility and checks to avoid losing 5% of your points.
Published · Updated
Aden and Rune’s first battles were scheduled for 30 and 31 October, but there will be no October Hero. The official World Olympiad guide describes the normal monthly cycle. For these new servers, the publisher separately announced an early launch: two evenings to test the system under load. Here are registration times, eligibility and ways to avoid losing points before fighting.
This applies only to Russian Lineage 2 Main on 4game, Aden and Rune servers. Information was checked on 30 October 2026 before the evening battles. Olympiad is cross-server PvP, where players fight for points and titles. Do not transfer these rules to Legacy, Essence, Special or other regions.
Two battle evenings, but no October Hero
The 28 October update notice explicitly enables World Olympiad on Aden and Rune, with first battles on 30 and 31 October. It also says October Hero status is unavailable: collecting points in such a short period is technically impossible. This new-world launch exception does not promise a title to anyone meeting the usual minimum.
Normally, a cycle is a calendar month and Hero or Legend status lasts the following month. Eligibility to compete for a title requires at least 25 matches per cycle, but 25 alone guarantees nothing. Hero goes to the top-scoring player in their class across servers; Legend to the overall leader. Do not derive October’s exception solely from the number of available matches: the publisher states it separately. See the original notice.
Registration closes before battles end
The guide schedules battles Friday and Saturday, 21:00–23:00 Moscow, but registration only 21:00–22:40 Moscow. The first dates were Friday 30 October and Saturday 31 October. Arriving at 22:50 to register before 23:00 is too late: the final twenty battle minutes are outside registration.
Register with the Olympiad Manager NPC in any town. NPC means a game-controlled character whose dialogue provides the service. /olympiadstat and the notification icon open the Olympiad interface, which lets you spectate; registration remains with the Manager. Find the NPC beforehand rather than searching as registration closes.
Four eligibility conditions: level is not enough
Registration requires main class, level 110+, Awakening or third Liberation for Ertheia, and Noblesse or Exalted Noblesse status. Awakening and Liberation are specified class progression stages; a level number does not replace them. Main class is the character’s primary path, dual class an additional one: register on main. You also need at least 1 Olympiad point.
Do not confuse this with a separate new-world progression reward. Our Aden and Rune +30 weapon guide covers the main-class level 115 mission. Olympiad requires 110, not 115; the weapon mission does not replace other registration conditions. Enlarge them in the full original guide image.
A bag check can save 5% of your points
After registration, entry can be denied with a 5% penalty on current Olympiad points. Listed causes include switching to dual class, enhancing items, teleporting, fishing, death and holding a cursed weapon. Check inventory too: penalties apply when fewer than 20% of slots are free or weight exceeds 80%. “Fewer” and “exceeds” matter; do not replace them with a rounded rule about any 80% occupancy.
Before registration: switch to main class → check level, progression, Noblesse and points → free bag slots and reduce weight → finish enhancing, teleporting and fishing → speak to the Manager during registration. Stay ready for arena transfer after signing up. Leaving the game or returning to character selection after transfer also removes you from the battle with a 5% penalty.
A match and a round are different counts
A match is a meeting between opponents; a round is one fight within it. A match has at most three rounds of 100 seconds; winning two takes the match, so two straight wins skip the third. All matches are open-class. The weekly limit is 25 matches, separate from the monthly minimum of 25 for title eligibility.
For those first evenings, set practical goals: check eligibility, find the Manager and learn matches, allowing for the announced lack of an October Hero. We checked public rules and the notice, not live client entry. The publisher asks players with launch teleportation issues to contact official support with server, problem, date and time. An early launch does not guarantee a fault-free system.
