What changed in High Five

According to the official update notes:

Equipment

The healer wears a robe — the class has Robe Mastery (235); from the Cleric there's also Light Armor Mastery (236), which raises Casting Spd., Atk. Spd. and MP. recovery in light armor. From level 76, Sigil Mastery (926) raises healing effectiveness by 30 and MP recovery by 17% when using a sigil, so from S grade a sigil is taken in the off hand together with a one-handed weapon.

D-grade, from Lv. 20robe / light armor D; blunts / swords D
C-grade, from Lv. 40robe / light armor C; blunts / swords C
B-grade, from Lv. 52robe / light armor B; blunts / swords B
A-grade, from Lv. 61robe / light armor A; blunts / swords A
S-grade, from Lv. 76robe / light armor S; blunts / swords S; S symbols
S80 grade, from Lv. 80robe / light armor S80; blunts / swords S80; S80 symbols
S84 grade, from Lv. 84robe / light armor S84; blunts / swords S84; S84 symbols

Look for magic weapons among blunts (staves belong to them) and magic swords — the linked pages list the stats of each item. About set enchant bonuses — Enchanting Armor Sets.

Where to level

Zone levels are approximate.

40–52Cruma Tower.
61–76Forge of the Gods, Hot Springs, Pagan Temple, Ketra Orc Outpost.
76–85In High Five Part 4, the level 80 locations listed are Beast Farm, Plains of the Lizardmen, Sel Mahum Training Grounds, Fields of Whispers, Fields of Silence, Primeval Isle, Den of Evil and Dragon Valley. Also: Imperial Tomb (80–84), Stakato Nest, Crypts of Disgrace, Monastery of Silence, and the Seed of Infinity and Seed of Destruction zones.

The Bishop shines in a party; leveling solo is hard. If you do level alone, undead zones are more convenient: against undead the class has Might of Heaven (1028), Hold Undead (1042) and Turn Undead (1400).

Tattoos

For a healer, the priority is the stats that govern casting speed and the MP. pool and recovery. What dyes exist and what they give — Dyes and Symbols.

Subclass

The main class gets skills for subclass certification at levels 65, 70, 75 and 80. The list for High Five is in Subclass skills in High Five; the general subclass rules are in Subclass.

Olympiad

To take part you need Noblesse; rules and rewards — Olympiad. Trance (1394) and Dryad Root (1201) buy time, Magical BackFire (1396) and Mana Burn (1398) drain a mage's mana, Celestial Shield (1418) saves you at a critical moment, and healing helps you survive a drawn-out fight.
