A few questions from a newbie

Devilista - Sanctuary

Alrighty so I jsut started a couple days ago and I watch shout chat to pick up on things I need to know, but of course there are things I don't understand due to my limited knowledge of the game.

1) What does FB mean? I get apparently it is a dungeon or boss fight or something that is hard and comes along every 20 lvls or so starting at lvl 19.

2) What is the purpose of controling a territory? Does the guild get certain bonuses while in the territory? Do they get a certain amount of the profits from NPCs/player stores?

3) on my Venomancer I got my pet scorpian, and at lvl 7 I started catching otehr stuff and comparing stats. What I found was very disconcerting, no other pet I caught, and I caught everything around my lvl, was better than my scorpion, I mean seriously wtf? When will otehr pets eb better than my scorpion I ahve ahd since lvl 3?

4) When will leveling become hard XD?

1) FB basically means dungeon. The number indicates at what lvl you get the Call to Duty for that dungeon.
2) If you control a territory, your faction gets a large sum of money, sent to the leader, who can then share it. Other than that, you get free teleports to the areas you control (1 per hour though) and various benefits from the Officer positioned in the area, such as free heals and a higher chance of refining (Mirage Celestones)
3) You may want to catch a Petite Sawfly. It's generally accepted that's the best flying pet in the game. You can find it flying above Bamboo Village (south of City of the Plume. At lvl 12, you get the teleport point there).
At lvl 17, go to Etherblade, and go northeast to Timberfield. Near there are Crystalline Magmites. These are amazing tank pets, a great addition to your team.
4) Quests won't level you anymore starting at lvl 35 or so. From that point on, you'll have to grind part of your lvl.

Thank you much.

I'm a newbie too, so I figured I'd add my own questions to the thread instead of making a new one.

As for the dungeons, once you complete the quest instance, can you never enter that instance again? I heard you get an item you need to use to start the instance: does it disappear when you start the dungeon? Or when you finish? I want to make sure I don't waste it if I only get one chance.

Well I think, from what I've heard, that you can go in as a party but the leader must have and use a special item. I believe I read somewhere that the item is only used up if you succeed, but I could be incredibly wrong.

At lvl 19, you get an item called Call to Duty:Xenobeast. You can use this on a pillar inside the dungeon to get a quest for the whole party, to kill the boss. Success will get your entire party exp, and a Xenobeast blood for everyone but the person with the item. (Bloods are used in Legendary item crafting)
After finishing that quest, you're free to enter the dungeon again. It's recommended you always go with a party that has a Call to Duty, as it's a great way to gain exp.
Also, the item vanishes the moment you start the quest at the pillar.
