Trust Magic

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.

I’m level 119, now what?

• First off, Congratulations. We’re in the endgame now.
  
• Secondly, you’re at the breaking point where trusts no longer hold their value as they did previously.
  
• At this point you will start challenging the more difficult Progression Guide fights such as HNM, VWNM, Battlefields, Dynamis, Besieged, Wildskeepers, Escha, etc.
  
• Be aware that restrictions in certain combat will disqualify Trust magic all together.
• By now you should be building up Alternative characters and multi boxing or establishing a help network with other in game players to clear content.
  
• Even though things are difficult you can still use trusts for support functions such as:
  

1. Trio Tank
   • This method involves a traditional tribox of a DPS/Heal/Support from the player, and 3 tanking trusts.
     
   • The tank trusts will take turns trading enmity and healing each other while you work on killing the mob.
     
   • This method is especially effective for mains that require heavy skill rotations and buffing.
     
   • Typically used are Valaineral, Trion, and Rahal.
     
2. Traditional Support
   • This method involves building a full party around the player character being the main tank.
     
   • Typically you would have your main as a Tank, an Alt as your healer, an Alt as a DPS or Treasure hunter applier.
     
   • Beyond those you would want to call Sylvie/Joachim/Koru to keep your party buffed, enemy debuffed, and filler in between.
     
   • More Specific Uses:
   • Zeid II will stun quite a lot and can save you at random points, stopping spells and some TP moves.
     
   • While not the greatest it can be helpful. Also consistent in holding TP and using only the Great Sword WS Ground Strike.
     
   • Shantotto II will only cast tier 1 nukes but at a higher damage than their base spell. She is good for longer sustained fights albeit with lower dmg output.
     
   • Learn to think outside the box:
     
   • If you tri-box, you tend to summon trusts on your main character and use the other 2 as supporting characters for healing and buffing (or healing and TH/DPS).
     
   • Think about summoning the trusts on a supporting character, that way if you die on your main character, you have a chance to recover. This mainly applies to harder NMs.
     
   • Trusts can't be charmed. So when you fight NMs that like charming, JoL, Poroggos, etc., you can summon your trusts, take a swing on the mob to engage your trusts, and hang back. Works well on ranged DPS or support jobs, but can be used to slowly kill more annoying NMs on a melee class.
     

Final Thoughts

• If you’ve made it this far you’ve likely gotten a full taste of the content Caldera offers and understand the balance necessary to maintain these varying degrees of difficulties.
  
• We understand a time investment vs reward system and do our very best to provide challenging content that is fruitfully rewarding as well as matched with difficulty appropriate to the reward.
  
• We hope that you can fully grasp and appreciate the tireless work that goes into making all this possible.
  
• Happy Hunting!
