Sniping is the act of profiting off of a GB, and anyone can profit if they find the right spot. Many are under the impression that you have to have a Power Arc in order to snipe, but you really don’t. It’s not advised to do this in-guild, as you are going to cost the GB owner FPs (and there are some guilds with a policy about profiting in-guild). It’s basically a direct swap, but with more partners. ![]() ![]() Alternatively, you can make a big swap group to cover all spots and everyone works together. A direct swap with someone means you’ll pay more than the spot gives back, but since it’s with dailies it’s all profit. That’s why most prefer to do a direct swap, which is discussed a bit here if you’re interested. The real reward here is that you absolutely will get FPs on your GB. There is no guarantee of reward placement in these swaps, so it’s very much a lottery. These are guild-wide swaps where you put FPs on the GB ahead of yours, and in turn get FPs on your GB. The first way many encounter, and try, are with the general swaps in a guild. You can place on a GB in a couple different ways. This adds up to 19 total FPs returned to you for the reward. It will be done as efficiently as possible, so for example if the reward is 19 FPs, you will receive one 10 FP pack, one 5 FP pack, and two 2 FP packs. Any FP rewards you get from a GB will go directly into your inventory as FP packs. If you have an Arc, there will be an extra bit off to the side that shows how much extra you get based on your Arc’s level, and adding them together gives you the total you’ll receive. You can check the reward by either hovering over the treasure chest (PC) or clicking on it (mobile). Most of the time there are five reward spots, and each spot gives a different reward. The reward spots on a GB are marked by little treasure chests. Lets talk about those in more detail, since they’re a bit trickier. Actively, you need GB reward spots and to convert your dailies. The difference though, is you can’t spend the prize from inventory, you do have to open it and send it to your bar (thanks to the buttons on the GB for donating, you never have to send packs to the bar). Until you open the prize, it’s basically a pack of FPs. Events sometimes award prizes that include a set number of FPs. Quests will give you actual packs on occasion (and if you have recurring quests, this is definitely likely a small percentage of the time). Passively, you can earn them from quests and from events. So… how do you earn them? There are both active ways, and passive ways. Those are coveted spots, and many players have saved for the occasion. This is part of why it can be very difficult to secure a higher reward spot on a higher-level GB with just dailies. There is no limit to how many packs you can have stored in inventory, and as such it is possible for a player to have thousands of FPs at the ready to use at their bidding. The packs come in three amounts, 2, 5, or 10 FPs (respectively): Your FP bar will allow you to have up to 100 in it at a time, and once you’re at 100 you cannot collect anymore unless of course you do so while under 100 (ie: you have 90 in your bar and a GB that you’re about to collect has a 15 FP collection, you will be able to hit 105 in your bar), or you get them from somewhere else like GE where it’s out of your control. ![]() Since it’s in inventory, it means you can access it any time you want, but it won’t stop you from collecting any more. As it stands today there are only a few ways to get FP packs, and only one way to do it actively.įirst and foremost though, what are FP packs? A FP pack is a set of FPs that doesn’t go to your bar, but instead goes to your inventory. Then Inno changed that, and there was unrest that they were also taking packs away from GB rewards. This is because GE FP winnings were given in packs, and you tended to win them a bit more often. In the earlier days of FOE, when GE was brand new and negotiations didn’t even exist, it was a little easier to earn FP packs.
