Tip : The group can access any Island based on the highest Personal Fractal Level of its members (if the player with the highest level is on 78, that means Islands 1-78 are available for the whole group). Note that you can check the current Island selected and your Personal Fractal Level in the top right of your screen while inside FOTM. After the group has packed up, they can travel to the Island by stepping into the portal at the middle of the Observatory. While in the Mistlock Observatory, you can change the current Island by interacting with the Scale Setting Sequencer, repair armors and access some merchants.

Mike O’Brien, ArenaNet’s co-founder and recently nominated Guild Wars 2’s Game Director, also announced that some of FOTM’s systems are undergoing some heavy changes and a lot of things contained here are subject to change, but don’t you worry! My intention is to keep this handbook updated as these changes go live.
GW2 INFUSE RINGS UPDATE
This year we will see the first release of new content for this mode since the Fractured update on November 26th 2013, and as an enthusiastic veteran player I decided to write this first chapter of the handbook focused on potential orphan dungeoneers FOTM newcomers.
