Trust exp

[ShadowyZero]

hey its been months since release can we please have an increase now? takes too long to level every single member up to current as it is.
i know they usually increase it after awhile but i feel like they forgot too this time around an we're now heading into the 7.3 patches which is a halfway point typically for our expansion would very much appreciate if they could give our npc pals a boost in earning EXP thanks in advance.

I don't think they forgot. Trust exp is typically boosted at the end of an expansion:

5.58 for Shadowbringers: https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodes...e8849372cb139e
6.58 for Endwalker: https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodes...67160ef629d31/

Likely SE intends it to be a grind to keep players busy between patches.
Personally I think needing to level Trusts at all is unnecessary and they could have just had the outfits be unlocks for running X amount of dungeons with each Trust.

It's a failed mechanic. They tried it out and it prevented people doing the content with trusts again because they weren't gonna level them. They buffed the exp but that also didn't make it better. So they separated it into "Trusts" (that you level for glamour) and "Scenario Mode", so that it's easier to ignore them and just use Scenario Mode always. Which of course was renamed to Duty Support.

I just don't bother leveling them. It's so boring.

It was okay in ShB, had to force myself to pevel them in EW for the achievement reward. Now I simply don't bother to level them in DT as we get even more characters to level up and the reward sucks.

The fact that trusts sandbag so every dungeon run takes exactly whatever amount of time CS3 decided means I will never use them outside of duty support for the first time I run a MSQ dungeon for story reasons. I don't want to spend 6 hours running Holminster Switch

Admittedly there was only one expect with 5.08 patch but that was it.https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodes...c8cee52472b81a

But ya, I tried eariler but man, it was really man especially with the first dungeon, Ihuykatumu, which had that slow boat section at first and was 8 minutes to get to the first boss.

It's really not that bad. The reward's pointless, I did them for roleplaying purposes, the Scions being equal to my level, and got a bunch of minions for free, and greens to turn in for seals and FC points. ShB -> DT took less than two weeks.

It's super boring, but it's really not that bad of a grind.

It's not that bad, but it's pointless now with the Duty Support system and it's only really worth doing if you're completely out of things to do in the game, and there's plenty of other things to do in the game worth your time more usually (new relic?)

I still need to do trusts to grind for teh titles, which if i ever stop being lazy i will grind them, but i can see points on why trusts are bad. I mean outfit rewards is eh when there are people out there with fanart of that already. But hey a title or 2 might be worth it

Yea, it's pointless. I did it for the same reason I did FATEs. Something to do, inbetween deep dungeons solo, while waiting for OC. And seeing how that turned out, I'm probably going to be ignoring the relic this time around. *shrug*. It's alot easier than the FATEs grind though.
