Trust System

The Trust System is a feature introduced in Shadowbringers (5.0). This system allows you to challenge dungeons from main scenario quests with a party of allied NPCs.

Parties must be composed of 1 tank, 1 healer, and 2 DPS. This feature cannot be used while in a party with other players.

Using the Trust System

Entering dungeons for the first time

After reaching the quest objective to clear a dungeon in the main scenario, several allied NPCs will be standing near the dungeon's entrance. Speak with them, and you will have the option to add them to your party and enter the dungeon.

Revisiting dungeons

The Trust system can be used to enter dungeons you have already completed. First, select Trust under Duty in the main menu. In the window that appears, select the dungeon you wish to enter and the NPCs to accompany you.

After the Main Story Quests

After completing the main story quests the Trust system changes to allow you to level up the allied NPCs from level 71. Allied NPCs gain EXP from these Duties according to the following table

Duty	Level	EXP
Holminster Switch	71	6,250,000
Dohn Mheg	73	7,975,000
The Qitana Ravel	75	9,900,000
Malikah's Well	77	12,025,000
Mt. Gulg	79	14,350,000
Amaurot	80	0

Once an Trust has reached level 80, the player is given the option of glamouring the character into one of their past appearances.

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.
