I have started to develop Heroes 5 mod but..
First of all let me introduce myself. I am the guy who likes edit most of the game. I am also developer of many Warcraft III mods. For an example i can show you to this. www.facebook.com/jfamap
But now i need help about on somethings.
FOUND
Buildings stats and costs and texts (i found)
Creatures stats, costs, abilities and texts (i found)
Artifacts stats and texts (i found)
Some of the hero skills (not everyone) thanks to topic posts 
Changing heroes starting skills and abilities thanks to magnomagus
NOT FOUND
Artifacts abilities stats (how to change initiative bonus of dragonscale shield or how to increase 50% fire resistance of dragon flame tongue
Heroes specializations edit (for example lizard breeder's lizard bite damage bonus)
How to exclude specific units in random groups (for example i want to prevent x unit spawn from random x tier)
Starting bonuses (gold, random minor etc)
Still i need help and i really wonder where in the these things stored. Which folder and subfolder..

Welcome from a fellow modder.
I do not mod H5 but H4 and other games, so what I can say depends on those experiences...
And in my experience Heroes games have a problem with moddability (except 7, but 7 sucks  )
The problem is related to that many things are "hardcoded", so that the only way to modify them, is to modify the .exe file.
This can be done with hex editing (I use Hex Editor Neo, but there are many) or assembly editing.
In any case, it can be limited and/or pretty frustrating. I am not sure of your experience but Warcraft mods are typically mapmaking and much simpler in that way.
In Heroes 5 I am not completely sure, but it's a suggestions.
Greetings.

Now i was just discovered the file named "DefaultStats" (Thanks to dredknight) but this file is so complicated. Still i am looking for the change missing abilities (i said missing because DefaultStats file not includes everything)

Where can i find Hero's starting abilities?
Update: Still i cannot find which skills with heroes start. I want to change their starting abilities and skills (not unique abilities)

Why i can't give these both abilities to hero?
First ability overrides second ability. If i put holy charge to top, there is no frenzy. If i put frenzy, there is no charge
Update: Ok i have solved it by myself after few tests. For the people who need it let me explain, just put 2 skills together between perkID's
But still there is more thing i haven't discovered.
NOT FOUND
Artifacts abilities stats (how to change initiative bonus of dragonscale shield or how to increase 50% fire resistance of dragon flame tongue
Heroes specializations edit (for example lizard breeder's lizard bite damage bonus)
How to exclude specific units in random groups (for example i want to prevent x unit spawn from random x tier)
Specially i was looked for the Lizard Breeder ability. I have searched the "entire" data.pak folder with this terms "ferigl, lizard, breed, bite, rider" but i haven't found.
Starting bonuses (gold, random minor etc)

Some abilities are not apply to some hero classes, or you need specific skills, look for Tribes of the East Skillwheel.

You really want a lot of stuff some of which is very difficult, since i don't have interest in writing tutorials right now i recommend downloading Heroes 5.5 and investigate how it is constructed.

Hmmm i actually want to learn destination of files. If it comes scripting, i cannot do. As you check my foundings i am making simple edits. Yes i am changing c# scripts but it seems easy.
You can just say which files i need to work on it like (gamemechaics/spells) etc etc. Rest of them my problem  if i cannot do, i will give up about it and continue work on the things i already learned (if i cannot find edit abilites of items, i will continue edit their own attributes or costs etc etc) so i do not need tutorial (i need actually but i cannot request and i cannot say TEACH ME HOW TO) i just need filenames. And thank you for your help.

Remove the second <perk> </perk> then nothing will get an override.
Just:
<perk>
skill1
skill2
etc
</perk>

Well the other changes are really hard to do. The only one here who can do that is probably deflaktor.
You need to hexedit the exe. Google about hexediting. Do some easy tutorials and then maybe your able to do it

Thanks but i am not asking how to edit by the way. I was asking "which FILE i need to work on it" at the beginning. Rest of it is my problem. I will handle it. I just need the filename.

you keep asking "where is the file just tell me where the file is" mate but as said above you cannot edit most of those things in your list without painstaking hex editing the exe of the game, the exe is the file, there is no other one to edit other than the exe because they are hard coded lol
