- 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.

- 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.
Stadiums
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 stadiums can be used for a match:
| 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. |
