In the main menus there is a menu called 'Missions', where you can confirm the name of your latest accepted mission and also the names of all completed missions.
* Trusts/"alter egos"! Do they pretty much replace the need for getting a party, or what? I'm looking at guides about where to go to get them. Are there ones particularly better to get than others?
- Think of trusts as stand-ins for other players. If you do not have anyone to party with for content, summon your trusts! For leveling to 99, majority of people level solely using trusts (gone are the days of 'looking for party' unless you want to join up with a friend to level, which is still possible of course (you may also call trusts after inviting someone else too!
- Get any trust you can get your hands on. A good place to start is the 'Records of Eminence' tutorial menu which awards free trust ciphers (the item traded to gain access to a trust). The tutorial menu trusts will fill-out a basic party, including tank, healer, dd, support.
- If trusts are available in a login campaign, I recommend grabbing all that you don't have.
* What is the difference between Trusts and "Adventuring Fellow"s? Is getting an "Adventuring Fellow" even worth it? From what I'm reading they seem more restrictive than the Trusts/"alter egos."
-Adventuring fellows level separately from the character. Trusts are the same level as the character summoning them. I would not pursue adventuring fellow for now as it is quickly made obsolete after 99.
* Traveling around the world! Back when I was playing people had to stand in Jeuno and shout and pay for Teleports here and there. What's the options for quickly getting around the world nowadays?
