Hi, I'm pretty new to this game still, and I've been hearing talk about FB19,29,39 and so on.

I've heard FB19 is the lowest possible one to do, and have been wanting to try it (I can't even find where it starts at) And I want to know what exactly they are.

I heard there's a good weapon you can get from doing them.

But yeah, I want to know if it's possible for a level 19 to do it, or if it takes a good solid squad to do it.

*Edit* I have the Call To Arms tag thingy, it says Call To Arms: Xenobeast.

    Hi, I get what you mean to the point of rolling a new char to do quests at my toon's level without higher levels making it look like a joke when I can't move around without getting one or two shotted by any random mob, let alone the boss at the end of the dungeon.

    In my case this was done at level 21 with only a cleric as squad and it took about 10 or 12 minutes to bring the boss down; the dungeon took like 2:30 hours to clear and was actually the most difficult part. I follow a "semi-hybrid" build and the gear used was all 3* weapon and armor as well as mold necklace and rings, all refined a very humble +1; the cleric followed a vit build and had 3 pc's of armor with +2 mp/sec regeneration, a 2* wand and maxed-to-level IH.

    I think it could be very difficult to pull it off with any less than that. Even with DD's the tank has to be impossible to one-shot and the cleric must provide enough healing to counter the constant beating the tank gets. Other classes may rely solely on high hp or heavy armor or evasion to almost tank bosses but hardly survive an unlucky critical from the boss if it lands on their heads. A barb has at least the first two of the factors mentioned above and can actually pull it off on a constant basis.

    Thanks, but that was not, at all, what I was asking.





    Btw, this is the level 19 mentioned in the above post.

    Hover over the tab you get in your inventory (the Call to Duty thing) and it will tell you the name of the place you need to go. When looking on the world map, dungeons are marked with a little cave symbol. For FB19, the dungeon you need to go to is near your starter town i.e. if you're human, it will be around Etherblade. To find eactly where it is, visit http://www.pwmap.ru/pwi/, check the "dungens & wines" option to the left, then click on "19th (Human) - Firecrag Grotto", which will show you exactly where the dungeon is located.

    As for it being possible to do at level 19, search the forums for "FB19" in titles only and you'll see quite a number of threads already addressing this question.

    If you do go ahead with a squad of around the same level as you to do your FB19, be prepared for it to take some time but don't be disheartened if it's a bit of a bumpy ride. It can be a lot of fun if you approach it positively and with the will to learn your role in a squad.

    The weapon you hear about is received after turning your quest once your FB19 is complete. Keep in mind that you will receive one weapon after completing your FB and another in the level 20 stash box - it's up to you to decide which is best for you.

    Also, welcome ^^

    You can do the dungeon without having the quest, but then you won't get the NPC reward. You will only get the mob and the boss drops.

    I want to give some tips b:laugh
    If you want to do fb 19 on lv 19 = (kinda fast way)

    1. Make a squad with 2 tank and 4 cleric
    The tanks capture and fight mob 1 by 1 & clerics keep IH them, good thing cleric learn revive at lv 19.
    When reach boss decide who tank and all cleric might have to heal the tank.

    2. Make a squad with 4 venomancer or 6 venomancer
    Only half of the squad member summon their pet and 1 pet healed by 2 venomancer.
    When reach the boss 1 venomancer told her pet to attack the bos for agroo, the rest venomancer heal the 1st pet. After some the other venomancer summon their pets, but keep healing the 1st pet.

    Tideborn don't have FB 19 like other race . . b:surrender
    Other race have their own place of FB19. Human got Fire Cave on snowy area near timberfield, Winged Elves get Scorpion Cave near their city, Untamed got Wolves Cave near their small cities. (i know i forget the names)
    Basically your FB 19 is killing that giant octopus (giant tuskar if not wrong ? i forget) which not like a FB just kill a boss.
    But you also get weapon for reward just like the other, the difference is you won't get drop items just like in other race FB19.
    Don't worry though that only happen for your FB19, you might want to join or help other race FB19 though.

    There is a simple way also if you're a human. All you need is a BM and a wizard lvl 19/20. BM must have aeolin blade for stuns. I, as a BM in that level, used this strategy:

    First BM must strike and draw aggro. He must then start running and do most possible to survive as he heals himself with pots. If you have special pots it can be helpful, but it is not really that necessary. Wiz, as a great damage dealer, must use a spell or 2. BM must strike again, if possible stun and bleed Thromh and keep bringing aggro and running away while wiz takes ocasional damage. Wiz can never draw aggro, so be careful. Survivability is the key, and patiente since the battle lasts 22/25 minutes.

    About other races, i don't know if this strategy is possible. A veno and a barb toguether can handle their boss easily, now an archer and a cleric i don't know. Of course the BM must run in wide circles or the wiz can never be able to follow Thromh and the BM (low speed)
