Although I'm lvl 26, I still haven't done my FB19 yet. Mainly because I don't play PWI for hours on end, only on weekends.

So, how long will it take me to do FB19 in one sitting??

Also, do quests disappear from my log if I don't do them for too long?? I ask because some are a ***** to do right now, and I'd like to lvl up a bit more before I tackle them again.

    My fb didn't take long at all. Depends on how high leveled your party members are. The game give you 10 hours to complete it, though. So it can take a long time if you're alone or something.

    Quests shouldn't dissappear. If you get to high, you might not be able turn them in, but they don't dissappear.

    Fb 19 gets done very fast as long as you get help from higher lvls which wont be hard cause people need the experience. It can take anywhere from 5mins to 20mins depending on your group.

    edit...Your quests dont disapear unless it was a timed one

    Quests disappear within 5-10 levels of when you first got them. You should ALWAYS do your FB's within the next 9 levels, to be safe. It also makes the rewards more useful to you.

    If you get a squad of 4x to help you on your FB19 it shouldn't take more than 20 minutes. If you tried to do it with a squad of 2x it would take 1-2 hours, depending on teamwork.

    Make sure you get your FB done by level 28. You'll get another FB at level 29 and will have missed your chance for this one. Keep in mind there are TWO quests to get from the elder - one to kill the mobs, one that gives you a tablet. The tablet goes in one of the dungeon pillars to give the team bonus EXP. The mobs give almost no exp themselves. You MUST kill all the mobs in the first Kill List before taking on the boss. If you miss some you'll have to go back and get them later.

    Visit the Quest Tips forum, there's a good thread there about the FBs.

    Quests actually do disappear. Accepted and unaccepted ones will poof from the list after you pass a certain point. This goes for regular quests and especially FBs.

    That's why it's best to accept FB19 at level 19, then do it with a good team before you level past 28. Otherwise it disappears and you can't even get it from the Elder. The forums are full of threads where people are level 52 and can't find their FB19, 29, and 39 because they never accepted/did them.

    I was just wondering how long fb59 takes unwined. Some people tell me it takes about 5-6 hours but it seems a bit exagerated.

    The tab is an item - it will work whenever you use it, because it doesn't expire. It actually has nothing to do with the Quest itself and isn't even necessary for completing the monster killing quests in the FBs.

    The quests themselves, where you go back to the NPC to get your EXP/Rep/Item, DO expire.

    Figure about 2-4 hours to do FB59 unwined (assuming you're just killing the bosses and anything along the way). The biggest factor is actually gonna be how competent your group is. A lot of the mobs in there run up walls, and if a veno sends its pet after that mob, it's not going to come back down until the pet dies. If an archer keeps firing at it while it's on a wall, it's not going to come down period, so you'll have the archer basically soloing it while the cleric heals the archer and everyone else just sits there. So a few incompetent group members can add hours to the clear time.

    I've done it in about 2.5 hours with my veno (+ herc) and two archers in the 67-71 range, but we were all very good at what we were doing. If you added a barb and cleric, and had two venos taking turns running ahead to pull the run-up-wall mobs (they stop running after a few hits), I could see it taking about 1.5 hours (just running the distance between bosses with zero mobs would take about half an hour, so in reality this is twice as good as the 2.5 hour time). 5-6 hours is ridiculous. I could solo it in that time.
