For lvls 19 or tabber/with quest Call to Duty :
Before enter in FB 19 cave/dungeon:
1. Make sure you have the tab item ( Tablet-The quest Call to Duty can be acquired by a squad leader with this token.Quest Location: Firecrag Grotto (Human), Cave of the Vicious (Winged Elves), Den of Rabid Wolves(Untamed)
A squad leader can only acquire the mission at the location corresponding to his race.Unable to be traded or discarded. Does not drop upon death.) in inventory and if you have at least 20 slots free if you want boss drops.
2. Make sure you have Reputation 80 points (press C)
3. See if you have a side quest to FB19 cave in quest log (from Elder):
Human (Wizards and Blademasters)
Gate to the Dark Lands : Discover
-Kill 8 Molten Chrysalis (Inside Dungeon)
-Kill 8 Molten Chilpods (Inside Dungeon)
-Kill Thromh the Mighty (Boss)
Untamed (Venomancers and Barbarians)
Beastkind : Eradicate the Monters
-Kill 8 Blackhive Wolfkin Premier (Inside Dungeon)
-Kill 8 Blackhand Adawolf (Inside Dungeon)
-Kill Rend Razorjaw (Boss)
Winged Elves (Clerics and Archers)
The First Battle : A Fierce Monster
-Kill 12 Stoneskin Undine (Inside Dungeon)
-Kill Poison Tail Occultist (Boss)
4. Choose your squad carefuly, i would not recommend to choose all members squad low lvls..19-25 lvl (this is a common mistake to FAIL 1st FB),even mobs inside are 18-22 lvl they are elite type,which mean very strong, high Phys attack,high phys defence, HP points 8000+,they can kill a 19 lvl player in 2-3 hits !!.You cant run a FB19 cave if your alone and you just received the Call to duty quest, mean you are too low lvl and mobs inside are usually grouped 2-3.
A squad for FB19 can be created with just another 1 player [high lvl enough to tank(take all damage from mobs and from boss)] or up to more 5 members.A FB19 can be tabed just by 1 player per 1 instance run.
5. I would not recommend to you to start hit 1st the mobs inside a cave..while high lvls will shot on mobs u might be dead in 2 hits until they will see/defend you.
6. Talk with squad if you want the drops from boss,all or just 3 stars and mold and see if they are agree with your request.It's your FB,higher lvls helping with FB get EXP,Spirits and Reputation which worth more than some items...There are alot high lvls wanting to help for FB and they dont need low lvls items..
When you enter in cave :
7. Track(click on this option in Quests log) your monsters need. You must have all mobs done needed for that side quest not Call to Duty:Xenobeast before starting to kill the boss or your side quest will not be finished and you can't get your blue glowing weapon reward.
*Remember:Your weapon reward its NOT from FB , its from finishing the side quest !!
8. Best thing its to talk/tab to last Pillar(there is a 2nd Pillar in boss room).In this way you will be sure your FB will not FAIL if u die in cave, and i recommend not to use tab untill you have all mobs done,otherwise ull need again to enter in dungeon...
9. To talk to Pillar make sure you are the captain of squad.When you talk to Pillar,you will activate the Call to Duty qust, the timer to finish (10 hours) with your tablet.
"Caution: 1.You must have 80 Reputation 2. Do not switch squad leader or let the leader leave the squad. 3. Squad members earn rewards only when you finish the quest."
10. If you can't talk at any Pillar(u get a instant error/fail) but you have the tablet thingy in your inventory it mean someone in squad have quest list full and might need to trash a quest to make space for this.Everyone in squad will get the same quest for reward.
11. In some cases the tablet and/or Call to Duty quest can dissapear from inventory and from quest log too, but if you are sure you had tablet in inventory you can try a test by talking to 1st Pillar in 1st room.
12. Trashing this FB19 will warn with a red :Failed after use tablet,but the tablet can return in inventory (I would not recomment Trash the FB Call to Duty if you get it from Pillar and your Tablet previously dissapeared)
13. Feel free to remind again,before use tab, to squad members if u want your drops.
14. Side quest (Gate to the Dark Lands or Beastkind or The First Battle) can be done in 1 run cave with Call to Duty : Xenobeast
15. When you use tab at Pillar,the quest Call to Duty will appear in your quest log with a timer, 10 hours to finish it,it is more than enough to finish the FB with high lvls.Make sure you have space in quest log entries for this one too.The tablet from inventory will dissapear.
*Remember , there are 2 different quests to kill the boss inside.Both can be done in same time/run.
** The Quest Call to Duty : Xenobeast can be acquired by a player up to lvl 30 max.
For high lvls helping with FB 19 :
1. Do not run fast to boss, to kill him,unorganized ,take care of your low lvl 19 which done a favor for you and added you to his FB,he/she might run away and can be killed very easy, tell him/her to stay close,behind your team, cleric must be the last to see the lower lvl if is attacked too,and the tabber do not start 1st to hit a mob.
2. Kill numbers of mobs needed for side quest,its very easy,not many mobs need and all mobs for FB 19 its on way in just 1 run (beside FB 39 where mobs needed are in a another room,or FB 51 or FB 69 where need more than 1 run/enter-cave..etc)
3.Human cave , Firecrag Grotto can be a problem for many players,its because the mobs need for side quest are not all in the way to boss.Therefore many wizards and blademasters 'cry' after FB done..they don;t finished the mobs requested for Quest : Gate to the Dark Lands : Discover.Here its up to you,higher lvls how really want to help with this quest
- Molten Chilpod location in dungeon
- Molten Crysalis location in dungeon
4. If you think, the tabber its not close enough to get mobs killed for that additional(side) quest,DO NOT RUN MORE IN FRONT TO ZHEN MOBS.I was at a FB19 where was a blademaster 60+, started to run in front to zhen mobs, he was close to 2nd room and the tabber was left behind, last,in previous room.The tabber havent time to pickup money or drops from mobs.Me and a veno 85+ we told him to stop and come back close enough to tabber to get mobs killed and give time to tabber to pick up his money and drops if the tabber want this too.
*Remember, if the squad its maded from more than 1 or 2 members 60+,chance for drops from boss are very low.So many times,only things which can get a tabber from a FB is mobs drops,rare too with higher lvls but,really , tabber can have few mobs drops/money from cave and finish the FB little more happy with something to sell or with some extra money.
5. We all was 19 lvl and maybe we didnt knew , even what is a FB or what is a tab and how much important is a FB,helping fair and with patience a low lvl on his/her FB you might get additional FBs from some friends of tabber.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Your reward from Call to duty:Xenobeast (fb19) :
5000 exp ; 1000 sp
*doesnt matter @ what lvl ull do your fb19 tabed, reward its same.

awesome hehe good work ^^0

Simple guid pt:2
Get lvl 60+ barb with armargedon.
Lay back.
Watch him clearing all mobs.
Tab at boss.
Pretend hitting boss.
Boss is dead. Quest done.
EDIT: Really nice job thoughI kill things b:victory0 -
AHAHAHAHAHA. Randoms is correct.
Also, Firecrag is NOT a problem. The first main chamber is swarming full of chilpods and chrysalises. Get the tabber into the center of the room and wipe out all the mobs in there. It'll be done.
Level 19-23s are more than enough to run through. The damage isn't that bad, especially since most of the mobs (check, almost ALL of the mobs) are close-range. That means if you have an archer/spellcaster, you won't get hit. The only mobs I'd EVER worry about are the Blackhive Snarls in Untamed (ranged earth, easy to miss as the animation's small) and the Cactopods in Elf (rather annoying ranged HP drain with insane range).
Also, since this is a guide, try and touch up the grammar/spelling, ja? It wouldn't do to have people not understand it. Just a tip.0 -
Good guide. Too bad most lvl 19s don't read these forums.
But, heres a tip, type "you" instead of "u".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.0 -

If you actually go with some people that have a minimum of experience, it can be done with people only level 19-21.~~~ My Guides ~~~

Yes, there are plenty of the needed mobs along the route to the boss in Firecrag. But, it does seem to be a bit easier in that dungeon than in the other two starter dungeons for the tabber to be too far away and not get credit for them. In this first room, in particular, a high level party may gather all the mobs for an AOE slaughter while the tabber is still standing in the doorway wondering what is going on."?" IS my avatar.0 -
^ yeah it does happen. Just a couple of days ago I had to take a faction mate back through that dungeon because he didn't get boss kill credit from his fb19. It sucks when a newbie gets ditched like that but... =/ yeah it happens.0

agreed.
and there is no better way to learn to play your role (and learn your true limitations) than to run an FB 19/29 with other players your level. Chances are that even though you may be a total n00b to the game - someone in your squad has either A) done it already, or is just some high level players alt - and in either case has the experience to help out with the FB. Nowadays with the Bless box, stash box, and genies (totally new to me coming from MY server I played on several months ago) your odds of success are far greater nowadays. I am a strong advocate of not including people over 10 levels above the FB level on the runs. For one - it screws drop rate with higher level players in the run, and for two - if a higher level runs through the FB and clears all the mobs before the tabber gets to them - you **** their side quests, you kill the fun, and you hinder them in the long run when it comes to knowing their role.
certainly a squad of 19-30 couldnt just run through the FB no sweat - chances are someone squishy is going to take agro and die. BUT.. if everyone knows their role (venomancers listen) the only person that needs healing is the barb, since you'll only be pulling one mob at a time.I'm a man0 -

b:laugh So I thought I'd just share my incredibly embarassing/hilarious story from this morning.
Draginx (a 6x Cleric from Iam) and I, plus a 5x archer (Vnor) were helping some lvl19 archer with their FB19 earlier.
All was fine, we ran through it ridiculous quick. I gathered, stunned, and AoE'd about 10 mobs at once up until we reached the big bad bug.
Once there, I just went ahead and attacked the dumb thing because I had to leave for class in 10 minutes.
I was stunning and tearing into it, with my health bar very slowly dropping. At about half health I decide to pot, but then look at my hotkey bar and realize I'm out. No problem right? I just type in, "Hey mr. Cleric, want to heal me real fast?"
Well, I slowly keep dropping until I'm at about 1/4 health an then I go, "Ummm wtf? heal?"
I finally get a reply: "Umm... I'm dead. Why didn't you aggro all the mobs?"
I look up at my squad bar and sure enough, we have a dead 6x cleric. He was taken out by 2 of the little scorp mobs that had been on the side of the side of the entrance.
I'm confused as all hell, and die a second later with the boss at about 1/20 health.
I ask mr. Draginx what was up, and he tells me that he didn't have any armor on because he'd given it to an alt and that the little scorp mob 2 shot him b:sweat
Well, we now have the big bad bug flying down the halls after our poor little lvl19 archer. Suddenly our 5x archer says, "Well, I'm back what did I miss? Oh! I don't see the boss. We kill it already?"
I shout no, and Draginx tele's back to plume and rushes back with his wings hasted. He gets in, steals aggro from our lowbie archer, and leads it back to our 5x archer who takes aggro, and kills it while Draginx comes to rez me.

One thing I'd like to re-emphasize from my experience last night: if you're with high levels you don't know or who aren't from your faction, DO NOT turn in the tablet at the first pillar, inside the entrance. Just tell them "I want to make sure my side quest is done before we get to the boss." There's a second pillar right next to the boss.
There's every possibility that, like me, you will have drawn a DB who runs gung-ho for the boss killing everything in sight, buggering your quests :P
His pals did run me through again to straighten the quest out--not sure if I got the tab bonus or not.0 -
I love this. Every new person should read this.
I mean, FB confuses the hell out of everyone when they first start the game, and even after their first FB, they still don't know what to do or what happened because the higher levels just rush through them without explaining to the tabber what to do and etc. [Besides "Tab it! Tab it! Talk to the pillar!" at the boss.]
If the first FB is done right, they'll get the hang of it.Belligero0 -
lol,... venos can solo it XD
(just kite all the way at the boss, with ur pet behind u, as soon as pet gets hp down too much, so u cant heal it,...
takes u about seven hours to do the whole thing though, but probably u get mold )
(maybe get to level 23 first, so ur healskill is a bit higher0 -
I hate trying to recruit for faction buddy's FB's for the simple reason the general high level populace has beat into everyone's heads that FB's cant be done with players around 5-10 levels of the quest, it wouldn't be given to you at that level if you couldn't do it. IMHO if you have to have a high level run you through the FB......then you=noob. Xymantha is right it ruins the fun and no one learns how to properly play the game and what not, Also can you truly be proud of your character and level when you had higher leveled players run you through dungeons and such?[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]0

thnx for the guide now i have a much better idea of what to expect0

Thank you all for replies,advices and corrections b:thanks. From most i read,seen,learn, for a lvl 19/tabber with Call to duty (FB) most important is to ask for monters needed for side quest inside to be done before to ask for drops from boss.More important is to have the mobs killed than some drops.One thing I'd like to re-emphasize from my experience last night: if you're with high levels you don't know or who aren't from your faction, DO NOT turn in the tablet at the first pillar, inside the entrance.

With that side quest tabber will be able to get his/her reward ( 3 stars glowing weapon - lvl 20 ) from Elder.Unfortunately many high lvls run to the boss to be done hoping they will find another FB waiting(which in last time with less ppl on servers,FBs are more rare)maybe.Everyone believe this FB19 its the easiest FB from all, yes its true , but a simple mistake can kill even a 60 lvl or fail entire FB run.This guide was written most for new players to know some simple basic rules, what to expect and/or what to do.Thank you all again, i will keep visit and update if need with FB19 tips from the new race added b:thanksb:bye

There be 2 reasons why this is said.
1) High levels love teh reputation gains from fb's. Why would they pass that up, if lowbies are gullible enough to take them?
2) It be easier than lower levels. 19 especially, because you really don't have any *good* skills to get you through it, and you is still a lowbie. If you have the option to get higher levels, see teh uber skills, and get motivated to level, why wouldn't you?
Oh yeah...I'z posting on my alt...maybe I should've gone to the 7x veno before putting stuff down...oh well[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

Hey, could you help me and my friends out? (lvl 19 archer+cleric lv15 when he is ready?) Please, reply, we need help really badly Would be really helpful if you did0 -
There are a few things about a Xenobeast Quest (specificly FB19).
Ive been trying to kill Poisontail 3 times and i did always died.
Reasons:
1. Besides the level of yer Squad Memebers you need some experienced (real deal) fighters along you. I've went there in the cave with a lvl 42 healer and he couldnt watch over me since he was so slow casting spells, so i guess ppl joining you must be clever and quick too.
2. Knowing the caves. Otherwise, ye'll round around in circles killing (or getting killed) elite cactopods and scorpions of 2 classes. So the idea is just get inside, knowing the right pathway, killing the stoneskins (12) and finally arrive (alive obviously) to the Poisontail Main Hall.
3. Poisontail isn't for kids the Occultist holds a healthy 106k HP and always is in company of a coupple of stoneskin undines to talk about wraith issues...
4. If ye'r in condition, physical and magical i mean, you can run inside and get rid of the stoneskins first but, according to my lil noob exp (lv34). Don't even think for a second ye'r rival to Poisontail.
Full of humble and love. Thank you all for yer earlier posts, the topic is still some taboo thing among the noobs like me. Excellent guide.
Thanks again.0 -

I'll be glad to go with you guys but ye'r gonna need some real damage-dealer TANK before ye can really go inside the cave. One cactopod coolshot might drain yer HP -300 in just 1 hit, so ye must consider there isn't only one inside, they're many.
The ratio of respawning of mobs is low so, ye can take some breaks to refill magic and HP at certain safe corners of the cave. As a friend wrote in some upper post, i totally agree the leader of squad should NEVER attack first since the AI targetting system of the server will trigger and the mobs will hit him mercilessly
Get the map of the caves. Pray the Lord and take with you (and yer squad) LOADS of mana bottles and healing drinks.

Thanks in advance to the user who kindly contributed with this map i post here the link to the map of FB19 Poisontail in order to avoid the noobs (proudly like myself) run around blindly or dying not even near to the Victory!

If you're going to run an FB19 with all low levels, be sure to bring at least one venomancer. A venomancer at level 19 with a golem (magmite or glacial walker) who knows how to pull can solo clear most or all of the mobs in the instance, though it takes literally hours to do so. A full squad without someone to pull is almost certainly going to get mobbed somewhere along the way and wipe. Along with this, make sure everyone understands that mobs will be pulled one by one, and no one runs ahead. As long as mobs come one by one, a squad of all 19s can handle all the mobs with ease.
All the bosses in FB19s are physical melee, so you want a tank with good physical resistance, and enough healing to keep the tank alive. This can be a barb or blademaster with 1 or more clerics, or enough venomancers to keep one of their pets alive with all healing the same one.
The reason to tab in the boss room is not to avoid the tabber dying with quest active (the quest does not fail if tabber dies, it just doesn't complete if the tabber is dead when the boss dies), it's to avoid the tabber disconnecting while the quest is active (which fails the quest, and the tabber does not get his tab back, unlike some other ways to fail it.)[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

Accordingly with dearest Mayfly posted i completely agree about the squad deploy. Many ppl think a squad as a bunch of 'save yerself' fighters. Nevertheless a squad when goin' FB party needs to be organized and clearly mindmapped BEFORE actually dealing some damage to mobs. I've helped many dudes inside the Cave but one of the most common mistakes to get killed is just thinking everyone leads the squad and every1 attacking mobs on a random basis. I've just done Krixxix and i really recommend a very clear n concise squad leader. Otherwise please post yer favourite flowers to drop some at yer nearest graveyard where you possibly lay.
Finally, the thing is just attack coordinately and be quick. Don't invite every scorpion around you into the fight cuz ye might get overteamed. One by one they'll fall...
So folloe the leader b:pleased
b:thanksb:thanks0 -
And so I'm about to start that quest... I'm just wondering, how long will it take to finish it?0
