      You don't have to pay money for the wine (or you get the benefit from the tabs, for a tabbed FB run). It usually breaks even.

      Friends don't generally charge for wine, and just split everything either 'if you need it' or however it drops.

      But with randoms, it's best to be up-front about how the split will be managed.

      yes, if whoever pays for the wines, thats who gets the drops, in most cases. its usually in situations like for BH, where you are usually partied with random people you dont know. if you are with friends, they may not care about who gets drops (cause they might know you are a good player and are contributing to the party anyways kinda thing)

      if the party splits the wine cost, then whoever gets the drop keeps it.

      The person who's donating wines is gambling and has to invest 20 tokens (arround 14k each atm). He will fail most of the time, even in BH100s where bosses r in ur lvl range (= best drop rate for u). When u get BH100 ppl say only in BH SoT or Aba my wine = my drops (= books nowadays, molds + 3* r crappy anyway). Btw, forming a squad also costs often coins cz u have to consume teles for wc.

      Wining an instance costs money for the wine.

      If someone says my wine, my drops/books, then it means that you don't pay the cash fee for the wine. Believe me, from bh69 onwards, you'll probably want the instances to be wined. A person who says my wine, my drops/books is willing to make the run free, with no cost in coin. The cost will be drops (Usually 3 star items), molds, and books. The items are not guaranteed to drop, so that person is still taking a gamble. As someone else stated, if its a totally random squad, then its best to know what the deal is up front in terms of drops. For the most part though, it simply means that they get the 3 star, molds, books, (apocalypse pages), and other items if they want them. In return, you don't have to pay a penny in wine fee.

      Ultimately, it breaks even. Hope that helps you some.

      If it was about breaking even people wouldn't be constantly offering to do it. For BH99, even if you only look at the few 40m coin books that drop 1% of the time ... 1% of 40m is still a lot more than the cost of the wine. People who are doing this are basically taking advantage of the rest of the people in the squad by purchasing other people's share for a lot less than what than what that share is worth.

      Letting someone purchase your drops for a wine share is doing them a favor. It works out to being like 60k more expensive than just paying your share of the wine. I wouldn't mind for friends but there's not much need to be so generous towards randoms.

      The game is supposed to be fun and trying to get wine fees out of people really degrades the experience. Its a lot more pleasant to just reward the winer with drops. Though I understand that the higher level BHs are different with the skill book drops. But the OP sounds like a lowbie to me and at those levels the current system is the best.

      Hello, kids. If you can't pay 50k~ for wine share, then you don't deserve drops. GTFO
