Trust

Trust is an extension of the Duty Support system and allows one to challenge Lv. 71+ dungeons from main scenario quests with a party of allied NPC avatars and level them up. Introduced in Shadowbringers (patch 5.0), Trust originally included the functions of Duty Support, but it became a separate system that only includes Avatar functionality in patch 6.1, when Duty Support in its current name was introduced.

Similar to Duty Support, parties must be composed of 1 tank, 1 healer, and 2 DPS. This feature cannot be used while in a party with other players, limited jobs are not allowed, and Level Sync cannot be disabled. The player must also meet the average item level requirement for the duty to register.

The Trust System unlocks on completion of the main scenario quest Shadowbringers.

Using the Trust System

The Trust system functions similarly to Duty Support, save that the NPCs are not limited by their availability during the main scenario, instead being restricted based on their level. The Trust system is only available for dungeons from Shadowbringers onward. (Prior to patch 6.1, the current Trust system was known as "avatar mode" in the trust menu.)

Trust avatars have different starting levels and accumulate experience from completing Trust mode runs according to the following table. Players can unlock more avatars as they progress through the Main Scenario Quests.

Upon reaching levels 80, 90, or 100 with a Trust avatar, the player is given an additional glamour option for that character. At level 80 this glamour is a previous iconic appearance. At level 90, this glamour is of their cold weather outfit seen during the Endwalker MSQ. At level 100, this glamour is a tropical vacation outfit. Krile, who starts at level 91, only has her default or tropical vacation outfit available as glamours.

Some trust avatars (e.g. Alphinaud) may adopt multiple jobs, but their level is shared between all jobs.

Official Description

In Shadowbringers, players will have the opportunity to challenge dungeons with a party of trusted non-player characters, including various Scions of the Seventh Dawn—though the traditional party matching systems will of course remain intact.

History

• Prior to patch 6.1, Trust also included "scenario mode", which was replaced with Duty Support.
• When patch 6.0 was first released, any Trust NPCs at level 80 were automatically leveled up to 81.
  • This also happened in patch 7.0, automatically levelling any Trust NPCs at level 90 up to 91.
  • Trusts always skip from the level under cap to the level above cap with zero experience points, regardless of their experience points going in (e.g. gaining experience at level 89 will instantly bring them to level 91).
