    59 is when fb's become pretty easy for a level-appropriate squad to complete. People generally start spending a a bit more on gear around 60, and that's the biggest downfall with lower level fb's. If you take 2 clerics it should be a joke, and I'm sure one could do it just fine. About the only real advice I think I can give is make sure you have all your buffs covered and well leveled. BM for bell, veno for bramble/amp, BB if you run 2 clerics.

    The bosses are pretty easy, I've tanked them at lvl 65 (or so) with a lvl 54 cleric healing. Managed all 5 bosses just fine with a close call here and there. Should be easily doable with 2 clerics.

    Only thing is, unwined takes 4-5 hours with a lvl 60-ish squad. (thats what some people said, never done it myself)
    I was early taught to work as well as play,
    My life has been one long, happy holiday;
    Full of work and full of play-
    I dropped the worry on the way-
    And God was good to me everyday.

    I've soloed fb 59 unwined for molds before, and I can tell you from experience that its just not worth it lol. By all means do it to say that you've done it, but you'll spend hours in there and come out with a handful of three stars, maybe. The only positive about running it unwined would be the darkness stamps. In one run, I'd easily manage 100+ rep worth of stamps.

    But hey, if you get lucky enough for a mold (check pwdatabase.com for the odds), more power to you. Good luck! =D

    Oh and as for tips:
    --the tank and cleric should be on the upper end of the 60-65 range, though it is possible to do with lower lvls.
    --when fighting ranged mobs, be careful as they like to kite and run up the sides of the valley for some reason. Its a good idea to pull them into a semi-open spot to keep them from running into other mobs and causing you to pull aggro.
    --the first boss zimo is the easiest, if you have trouble with him at all, you may want to go back out and level a bit before trying again.
    --print this map http://www.intrigue.freeforums.org/fb59-valley-of-disaster-t22.html (credit to intrigue)
    --only one cleric is needed and they dont need to BB the entire time, just focus on the tanker

    honestly shouldn't be a problem at your lvl with a barb a cleric and some dd's
    I tanked all the bosses on my fb59 with a lvl 78 cleric I think and I've done it several times since then with as low as a lvl 62 cleric. I haven't tried it without wine but I hear it takes a long time so if your just trying for molds probably wanna wine the run
