New Trust System - Who Will You Upgrade First?

Here's a test looking at Sylvie's buff potency before and after upgrading Trust Magic Skill.

Sylvie's BGwiki page lists indi-Precision potency at level 99 as Accuracy/R.Accuracy+56 and indi-Fury potency as Attack+37.5%.

Indi-Precision

Accuracy+62

Indi-Fury

Approximately Attack+40%

Behaving as expected, then. Sylvie's atk+4% is maybe the best trust buff yet. Her indi-haste change lets people cap magic haste with Sylvie alone, but she was <1% off before (448-150-294 = 4) and she only uses it for three jobs.

If only she didn't insist on casting haste1 on people, sigh.
The fact she uses different bubbles according to your job is... good and bad I guess.
Ideal would be being able to pick the bubbles you want from a menu, but given that's not possible atm, I guess it's a nice compromise which is good & bad depending on what you want on which job, I guess.

Getting her to consistently use indi-haste and haste1 on people (aka capping magic haste in one party slot) would be a pretty big get. Right now you can only do it with a NIN, RUN, or PLD in party, though.

She only hastes the player doesnt she? Also where does her indi-frail sit at now, 16~17% forgot +geomancy doesnt hit on entrust, so would be 10~%?

Party leader must be tank

Her frailty being 12.5 never made sense. If it's 2.7% per 74 skill.

-2.7 is the baseline at 0 skill, 900 / 74 = 12.1

-12.1 + -2.7 = 14.8

It's not 2.7 per 74 skill it's just written completely wrong. 216 skill per 2.7%

It's 74 skill to go up 1% not 74 skill to go up one potency tier. (7.4 = 0.1)

All that to say with 746 skill she has -12.5%

then with +100 from points it's 846 around -14.1%

No reading comprehension issues here. My question wasn't about when the content was releasing but how long for players to see the payoff.

The answer is the same, you will see the payoff at the end of the year when the content is released...

Sooooo, to get back to the beginning of the topic, this is what I picked so far:

HP 50/50
VIT 50/50
INT 50/50
MND 50/50
Magic 50/50

And I still have like, what, 30 free points to assign or something?
Might go MP next but for now I'm holding.
My reasoning for those choices was to give of course more survivability to the trusts.
More HP, more VIT to slightly raise defense against physical damage, INT and MND against magical damage.
Magic is to boost the potency of some spells, give them more macc, I dunno, sounds slightly useful.


I'd be all to boost their physical damage/accuracy but until (if ever) they give us an option to "turn off" Trust WS, constantly breaking my multistep SCs, I'd rather have them miss as much as possible.
Less hits landing => less WS breaking my SCs :-P

If someone asked me what I would've wanted from trusts I would've answered "longer duration buffs, more durability, possibility to turn off some things like WS or Haste1".

Not if they impose the same drip feed method they've done with the merit-style upgrade points. And after all that time (~2 years of grinding) we don't even know if it will make a meaningful difference in expanding the available content to solo.

To answer your question about stuff I cannot solo now - Omen bosses, high tier UNM's and T3 Geas Fete are examples. Also anything above V0 Odyssey would be good too. I should be able to reliably grind RP on my own, even if it's slower than with a group.

For what it is worth, Arciela was a house against Colkhab and friends as I was finishing up my last few BLU spells this week. Her Paralyze was really messing the reive bosses up, as well as Putraxia / Rancubus in the solo battlefields. I would periodically do runs of all of this before to grab spells and she would struggle to land anything...so I guess some progress is being made. Not that any of this content is a serious threat to a geared player, but it is nice to see a bit of a difference.

HP 50/50
VIT 50/50
INT 50/50
MND 50/50
Magic 50/50
STR 30/50 (just for fun)

where did you guys get so many trust points from already?

playing the game and getting all the trust points they've given out so far. People are complaining on here but they've been handing them out like hot cakes.

Was it actually true that it was behaving as expected? Wouldn't she have been at the +100 skill with 50/50 magic merits? Did they make Handbell combat merits?

Accuracy is accurate at 846 skill 846/18=47 +15 From her bell = +62

Fury is accurate at 846 skill ~41% 846/30 +4.6 +8.1

The pictures/leaks are saying if they get another +50; cap geo skill

There have been 780 points available to obtain through various methods (unless I've missed something).

So far I only got enough points to max HP/VIT and a few points in int and mnd.

Was this the first month where points are available? I did the 4 Monthly Objectives RoEs but I feel like I'm missing something.

Its the third month dood

That makes sense.

I have HP, MP, Combat, Magic, and VIT all capped, and 20 into MND. So if you have been maxing, you should have 5 categories and 20 in change.

bit of anecdote, new chars running lilith easy. trusts 40/50 hp and mp, 20 combat 30 magic 0 in stats.

while alter ego expo was on win rate was 100%, after it ended today it dropped to ~66% because they would frequently get 1 shot. had to switch to magus + runeist rolls just to keep them alive.

Still the same 5 Primers?

1 Ambu, and 4 Monthly RoE?
