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 made available in Shadowbringers start at level 71, and avatars made available in Endwalker start at level 81, and accumulate experience from completing Trust mode runs according to the following table. (Note that, as of patch 6.0, avatars level directly from 79 to 81, skipping level 80 entirely.)
Upon reaching levels 80 and 90 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.
