Introduction

What is a trust?

  • Non player characters that fight along side you and assist in filling party mechanics traditionally associated with MMORPGs.

How do I get Trusts?

  • Players will unlock the base set of trusts by clicking on the Institutions book on the wall in the Library or by using the !addalltrusts command and zoning.

How are Trusts used?

  • Trusts are a nice Caldera feature early on and are meant to ease the burden of your leveling climbs, farming needs, and initial ilvl gear acquisitions.
  • Trusts will become increasingly less effective after reaching ilvl119 and will in many cases be useless other than supports.
  • This is done intentionally to encourage teaming up with other players and challenging difficult combat for the more rewarding content later on.

Can I get more Trusts?

  • These base trusts are the only available trusts on Caldera initially, and players will be unable to get more trusts through their retail acquisition path.
  • When new trusts are released, this page will be updated and a notification will be sent out via the updates channel on the server discord.
  • New trusts may be given freely or placed behind a content clear based on staff discretion.

Trust Slot Progression

You will start with 3 trust slots.

The 4th trust slot will be unlocked by killing all Sea/Sky lower NM's or all Abyssea T1 Zone Bosses.

Sky NM's: Olla Grande, Zipacna, Brigandish Blade, Faust, Mother Globe, Steam Cleaner, Ullikummi, Despot
Sea NM's: Jailer of Temperance, Ix'Aern MNK, Jailer of Fortitude, Ix'Aern DRK, Jailer of Faith, Ix'Aern DRG
Abyssea T1 NM's: Kukulkan, Briareus, Glavoid

The 5th trust slot will be unlocked when both the Sea/Sky lower NM's and all Abyssea T1 Zones Bosses have been defeated.

Combat Strategies and Application Tips

New players

  • Since you will be limited to 3 trusts initially it is generally recommended to maximize DPS early on. Depending on your starting class you may choose from a few combinations.

Strategies

  1. I chose a Tank/Melee class.
    • If this is you, you should consider using the “triplets” Shantotto/Adelheid/Aijido.
    • Once you tag the mob all three will unleash a torrent of elemental spells delivering most mobs a rapid demise.
    • When they get low on mp, release them and resummon for a fast early level gain.

  2. I chose a Caster/Support class.
    • If this is you, you will use a similar tactic only swapping Ajido out for a Tank of choice to take enmity off of you initially while the mages send the mob to its grave.

I’m working on Ilvl gear.

  • Once you get to 99 and begin your climb into Ilvl ranges you will notice the mobs getting much stronger with much more health.
  • From this point you should be considering longevity in a fight.
  • Mages will not rest when MP is depleted, so in this case you should be considering a full tank, a good healer, and a support to keep refresh up.
  • Yoran, Sylvie, and Apururu will all self restore MP. Koru and Joachim will both apply refreshes and regen. This is the direction you should begin mixing and matching to maximize longevity and survivability.
