Call to Duty/FB Information

FBs are in essence, dungeons that are instanced. Instanced means that they are individual. Ex. if everyone on PW entered the dungeon, they would not see each other or affect each others' dungeon, because they are in their own personal one. The way to bypass this is to start a squad, causing everyone in the squad to enter the same dungeon as you when they enter from the entrance. To properly reset an instanced dungeon, the squad leader must disband the squad, then have another player start a squad and stay as leader until they re-enter the dungeon to make sure it has become the new leader's individual dungeon.

So what are FBs for? Players get a particular quest that gives you a special token item called a tab around Lv. 19, 29, 39, 51, 59, 70, 79, 89, 99, and 109. By completing the FBs with the tokens inserted into the pillars located at the beginning or in front of the bosses in each FB, the entire team will gain experience, spirit, and reputation for each boss killed that is tabbed.

FBs typically cannot be soloed at the player's respective level they get the quest for it, so squads are almost always preferred, if not to make it possible to complete, then to complete it at a faster rate. The higher leveled a player, the more experience the person will get from each tab. Because of this particular reward system, many upper level players have an incentive to help lower leveled players complete their FB quests.

The safest FB team should consist of a Barbarian for tanking, a Cleric to heal the Barbarian, a Venomancer to lure mobs, and the rest are damage dealers; this ideal team composition may vary depending on circumstances and levels, so no need to follow the guideline that strictly.

For the person with the FB quests, also known as the tabber, they get to complete their respective quests, get the same rewards from the tab, and have a shot at a mold and 3 starred equipment. By common courtesy, all molds and 3 starred equipment goes to the tabber, although some squads may vary in their preferences. The tabber often has the full rights to declare what drops he or she gets, and the FB runners comply with the tabber's request out of reputation within the server although exceptions exists; in the end, there is no absolutely way to ensure the tabber gets the drops he or she wants.

A mold can drop from any monster, but they have a much higher rate of dropping from FB bosses and mini-bosses. After you get a mold, you can go to the legendary forges near General Summers in Archosaur, check what materials you need, farm the materials around the map, then have a person you know who can craft make a legendary weapon or armor from the mold and mats on the forges. These legendaries are strong equipment that also come with a set of attributes that are usually very valuable.

Also note that all mobs within the FB are elites, which means they are actually a lot stronger than what their level implies. The higher level the FB, the bigger they are and the more mobs they house. Because the time spent on clearing the FBs of these mobs can be extensive, people prefer to use wines on FB59 and higher; not only because of the sheer size of those FBs, but from that point on, most of the FBs don't require you to kill particular mobs within the FB.

Wines are special items able to be made from Mister Tso (527 656) by collecting materials and giving the required amount to him. After getting the wines, go into the FB dungeon, talk to the Old Swordsman NPC at the entrance and give him the wines. This will clear the dungeon of the majority of the mobs. Note that after FB29, you require 2 wines to be able to clear the dungeon.
