Oh boy, you don't wanna get into that, believe me... xD
but either way, depends on what you wanna do specifically, there aren't any "reliable" ways to recompile engine files for the client though, so you can (mostly) just do some minimal edits (interface, effects, skills, animations, meshes, textures, bla bla bla)
https://docs.unrealengine.com/udk/Two/SiteMap.html
just take a look at what you want to do and then check if you find some tools to do that

Also, there is no such thing as a "lineage 2 source code"

I guess it would be a good idea to do it if you want to practice for any future projects that don't involve Lineage II, and you want to get into codding,

Now a days the L2J community is based on people from 10 years ago and we don't really like much change, so the servers that you see opening these days, they already perfected what we like so if you notice there's a similar pattern between them regardless of the chronicle.

 

However, best of luck and I hope you have fun modding.
