    Someone told me its fb x 2 to solo. I figure though it all depends on you. Just go to one and try to solo it by yourself. Also, I find that each race FB is different. As a veno I found elf to be hardest, human shortest, and untamed easiest mob wise.

    FB19 becomes soloable in the 40s, depending on class.

    It's a little towards the late side for an archer, but maybe 42 if you get the armor of the barbarian shaman. And you'd probably wan't an HP charm.

    By 50 I don't think you'd have too much trouble.

    Archer can solo their own fb19 at around 43+ (don't need gold EQ). Have to use knockbacks, DoTs, paralyze and winged shell a lot on boss (spark is a waste). This was using an archer with 40 vit though.

    Veno can solo their own (or any fb19) at around 30.

    My brother managed to do it with his blademaster by late 30's-early 40's. He spent a whole lot of time just sitting there and meditating, though.

    This is a really interesting topic. All I can really give for replies is my own experience. My boyfriend plays a lvl 37 veno and he spends a lot of time just farming fb19 ... yes, solo. >_< While my squishy cleric, even at level 48 would probably be able to make it all the way through the mobs, I'd have to use a lot of potions and remedies (and LOTS of luck) to survive the boss. I doubt I could actually do it.

    Since an archer's survivability is based on keeping the enemy at a distance, I guess if you had Knockback you might be ok. I'd recommend the best weapon and ammo you can get your hands on, naturally.

    Let us know if you manage to accomplish this.

    I'm thinking you could probably solo it some time around 4x, but I'd also suggest using your genie to help when you do try. You'll probably want the Amp spell for when you're fighting that boss, at least, so you can take him down much, much faster. And tossing on the Genie Knockback couldn't really hurt. You'd also probably want Tree, just in case something goes wrong, and you have to heal in a hurry.

    Did it at level 42 myself, without a HP charm. Used pots and remedies plus shell to stay alive while I fought him melee with swords (Heavy Armor build). A charm should make it doable in the late 30's.

    sorry, but why exactly would you want to solo an fb19?? (wondering)

    not good rewards, plus you can find a group of lvl19 to do it, or a group of lvl 60+ to rush it (at lvl 70+ you can solo it if that helps.. lol)

    but why exactly would you want to solo an fb19?? Answer: I have a level 14 alt I want to try and get a decent mold or two for or give myself the chance to. I know the drop is very low

    plus you can find a group of lvl19 to do it, or a group of lvl 60+ to rush it..My response: Yes I know that but they also take the drops especially if molds drop.
