    Fuben = Dungeon. Essentially instanced areas with hard enemies and very rewarding quests.

    There's more to rewards than XP. An FB19 weapon can last til the early 30s, and a couple units of Xenobeast Blood alone are worth a boatload of coins. But they are more rewarding for the time spent for more organized or busier groups.

    Well, I'll have to see about "rewarding". I did what seems to be "FB19" yesterday.

    I was getting worried about my time running out (lots of sitting... I need more mana regen :-)), but eventually I had to leave because my inventory was full :-) I've muled off some more stuff now, so maybe next time...

    Got 8/8 and 2/8 :-( The good thing is that there's probably a boss at the end that I don't want to solo, but the quest doesn't list a 0/1 :-)

    Might be able to skip a few guys next time (sometimes the rooms are large enough so you don't have to clear them completely), but it's still going to take some time again :-(

    damn right thats shameless

    demanding wines for 39 and 49 (might as well call it 49 to keep it all the 9s) - and therefore making sure inexperienced players cant complete their quests (of course experienced players know you dont use wine and get the quests done)

    since you scoffed all the tabs, they wont be able to get help to finish them either... what else do you demand... individual loot so your tank snaffles all the molds to share between you later?

    shameless... yes i agree

    EDIT: of and fu ben is just chinese for tablet quest. i.e. the dungeons at 19, 29, 39, 49 (51), 59, 69, 79, 89, 99 where players get XP, rep and blood for partying with you IF you use the tablet

    on topic then,

    fu ben = 副本
    its a chinese term for dungeon from the game World of Warcraft that has made its way to PW. It doesn't have special meaning outside gaming.

    You can do these quests well over their level, or help other people with their quests before you reach the instance's level. You probably do want to wait until you match or exceed the instances level, though, since the enemies inside are remarkably nasty. If you exceed the instance's level by too much, it may have a negative effect on what the monsters drop.

    Fu Ben is Stone Tablet, because all the said quests require a tablet

    Enemies with a golden and particularly stylized border around their healthbar when selected are Elites, and are not balanced around a single person beating them. It's not impossible to take them solo -- it's how I got through the Darkbreed Wolfkin and Charr quests myself -- but it is remarkably hard, and a good way to burn through potions and Apocathery items very quickly.

    I strongly advise trying to form, or join, a team for those.

    Ya, that sucks. it's 'remarkably' hard to find anyone worth playing with that isnt going to bother me. I do prefer going solo unless I know who I'm dealing with.

    The timer is 10 hours and plentiful for even a slow clear of the dungeon. Even so, I usually recommend waiting until the boss room to use the tablet.

    It is also possible to return to a dungeon even after having left it without any adverse effects (i.e. the dungeon does not reset) so you can always leave, merch stuff and go back to finish clearing the dungeon..

    Think about FB as "final (dungeon) boss".

    dumb question, but "how" and/or "where" do you use the tablet? what exactly is it for and what does it do? i've only done fb19 so far, just for the weapon, and i soloed it as i usually do with quests so never learned anything about the "tablet". my fb19 tablet is just sitting in my safe, i got credit for the fb19 and everything so i figured i did what i was supposed to do. can anyone fill me in on that so i won't (hopefully) look like a totally dum dum if i join a squad for a future fb?

    Do you know of an fb19 guide or post that can give a rundown on what goes on in this quest? I've been searching the board and getting a little info here and there, but no real clear picture yet. Any help appreciated.
