Player Trusts¶
Party with someone for long enough and you both unlock each other as a personal Trust — a permanent in-game bond that you can summon for a stat boost, and upgrade over time.
Summary
Party up with another character. Stay in the same zone. Once your shared party time reaches 30 minutes, you both automatically unlock each other as Trusts. Talk to the Companion Master at GM Home to summon any unlocked friend, or spend gil to upgrade their tier.
How unlocking works¶
The friendship counter increments once per minute, but only while ALL of these are true:
- Both characters are online
- Both are in the same party (any role, leader doesn't matter)
- Both are in the same zone
The counter does not decrement when conditions stop being met — it just pauses. You can leave each other's party, log out, take a week off, then resume; your accumulated minutes wait for you.
At 30 minutes of shared party-in-zone time
, both characters get an unlock notification:
[Companion Master] You have unlocked Jbae as a Trust, kupo! Visit the Companion Master at GM Home.
The unlock is permanent. Logout/zone changes don't undo it.
The Companion Master NPC¶
At GM Home, position (x = 0.000, y = 0.000, z = -28.000, rot = 128).
Talk to them to see a menu:
Each entry shows the friend's name and their current Trust tier. Pick one to enter a sub-menu:
Jbae [Bronze]
Set as Active Trust
Quick Buff (30min stat boost)
Upgrade to Silver (500,000 gil)
<< Back
How to upgrade¶
Upgrades happen at the Companion Master, paid in gil, and bump a friend's tier one step at a time (Bronze → Silver → Gold → Platinum → Mythic). Each step:
- Pick the friend from the Companion Master's roster — their tier is shown next to the name.
- Choose
Upgrade to <next tier>from the sub-menu. - The transaction is atomic: if you have enough gil, the tier bumps and the gil leaves your wallet in the same instant. If you don't, you get a "You need N gil" message and nothing is charged.
- Each upgrade is independent per friend — maxing Jbae costs you nothing toward Bdr.
The gil ladder per friend:
| Step | Cost | Cumulative |
|---|---|---|
| Bronze (auto on unlock) | — | 0 |
| → Silver | 500,000 | 500,000 |
| → Gold | 1,500,000 | 2,000,000 |
| → Platinum | 4,000,000 | 6,000,000 |
| → Mythic | 10,000,000 | 16,000,000 |
So a Mythic Trust represents 16M gil sunk into one friendship. With Legendary's 100× quest gil and 10× mob gil rates, that's achievable but meaningful — not a casual purchase.
Where the upgrade actually goes¶
This is the part that confuses people. The Trust system has two summon modes, and each tier bump improves both at once, but on different entities:
| Catalog field | Buffs… | When it applies |
|---|---|---|
statBonus, hpBonus, mpBonus, buffDurationMin |
You (the casting player) | Only when you pick Quick Buff at the NPC — a status-effect-style flat bonus on your character |
trustMult (multiplies trustBaseMods) |
The summoned Trust mob | Only when you cast the slot's spell to summon the real follower |
Concretely: upgrade Jbae to Mythic → - Casting Quick Buff on yourself: you get +20 to all stats, +250 HP, +125 MP, 2 hour duration. - Summoning Jbae as a real Trust: the spawned mob gets every base mod (HPP / DEF / MEVA / ATT / ACC / MATT / MACC / Haste / STR / DEX / VIT auras) multiplied by 2.0× — so the follower hits harder, lives longer, and projects a bigger stat aura onto you.
The Quick Buff and the real Trust are mutually exclusive moments — you cast one or the other — but a higher-tier friend strengthens whichever path you choose at cast time.
Two ways to summon¶
As a real Trust (recommended)¶
You have five Trust slots. Each slot maps to a specific hijacked Trust spell in your spell book. Assign a friend to a slot via the Companion Master, then cast that slot's spell to summon them.
| Slot | Cast this spell to summon your assigned friend |
|---|---|
| 1 | Trust: Kuyin Hathdenna |
| 2 | Trust: Rosulatia |
| 3 | Trust: Teodor |
| 4 | Trust: King Of Hearts |
| 5 | Trust: Morimar |
The mob that spawns:
- Wears your friend's race (captured the moment you first unlocked each other)
- Displays your friend's character name above its head
- Has combat AI just like any Trust — follows you, attacks what you fight, despawns on zone change
- Has tier-scaled stats — see the table below
You can have all five slots filled at once. Cast multiple spells and you get a full alliance of friend-Trusts. Each slot tracks its own friend assignment; switching a friend between slots is free at the Companion Master.
Why those weird spell names? Engine-side, we hijack five obscure Walk of Echoes / Records of Eminence Trusts (none of which players normally obtain) to run our own logic — those spells are the "slots" all your friend-Trusts use. The mob you actually summon is fully customized; only the spell's listed name in your book is fixed. Pro tip: rename your macros to "Summon Bdr" / "Summon Jbae" / etc. instead of using the default spell names.
Quick buff¶
Pick Quick Buff on a friend for a low-effort, no-cast stat boost (the old v1 behavior, kept around). Immediate, lasts 30-120 minutes depending on tier, applies flat bonuses:
- +stat to all 7 main stats (STR/DEX/VIT/AGI/INT/MND/CHR)
- +HP flat health
- +MP flat magic
Only one Quick Buff can be active at a time — re-summoning replaces it. No visible buff icon; the chat message tells you the duration and bonuses.
Upgrade tiers¶
Five tiers per friend. Upgrade costs are paid in gil at the Companion Master and are independent per friend — maxing Jbae costs you nothing toward Bdr.
Cost and duration ladder¶
| Tier | Duration (Quick Buff) | Gil from previous tier | Cumulative |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bronze | 30 min | (free on unlock) | 0 |
| Silver | 45 min | 500,000 | 500,000 |
| Gold | 60 min | 1,500,000 | 2,000,000 |
| Plat. | 90 min | 4,000,000 | 6,000,000 |
| Mythic | 120 min | 10,000,000 | 16,000,000 |
Full Quick Buff ledger¶
Picking Quick Buff at the Companion Master applies these 9 mods to you (the casting player) for the duration above. The statBonus field is a single value that lifts all 7 main stats simultaneously — at Mythic that's +20 to every one of STR / DEX / VIT / AGI / INT / MND / CHR.
| Mod on caster | Bronze | Silver | Gold | Plat. | Mythic |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| STR | +3 | +6 | +10 | +14 | +20 |
| DEX | +3 | +6 | +10 | +14 | +20 |
| VIT | +3 | +6 | +10 | +14 | +20 |
| AGI | +3 | +6 | +10 | +14 | +20 |
| INT | +3 | +6 | +10 | +14 | +20 |
| MND | +3 | +6 | +10 | +14 | +20 |
| CHR | +3 | +6 | +10 | +14 | +20 |
| HP (flat) | +20 | +50 | +100 | +150 | +250 |
| MP (flat) | +10 | +25 | +50 | +75 | +125 |
Only one Quick Buff can be active at a time across all your friends — casting a different friend's Quick Buff replaces the active one.
Leaderboard credit¶
Each unlock bumps your Trusts_Unlocked counter, which feeds a future "Most Friends" leaderboard slot. Mythic-tier upgrades don't add extra credit there — every friend counts once, regardless of tier — but they do reflect on your wallet.

Tier scaling for the Trust mob¶
When you summon the real Trust (not the Quick Buff), the spawned follower mob gets every mod in catalog.trustBaseMods multiplied by the friend's tier. Eleven mods total, four functional groups:
| Mod on the Trust mob | Bronze (1×) | Silver (1.25×) | Gold (1.5×) | Plat. (1.75×) | Mythic (2×) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| HPP (% extra HP on the mob) | +20% | +25% | +30% | +35% | +40% |
| DEF | +50 | +62.5 | +75 | +87.5 | +100 |
| MEVA (magic evasion) | +30 | +37.5 | +45 | +52.5 | +60 |
| ATT | +50 | +62.5 | +75 | +87.5 | +100 |
| ACC | +30 | +37.5 | +45 | +52.5 | +60 |
| MATT (magic attack) | +30 | +37.5 | +45 | +52.5 | +60 |
| MACC (magic accuracy) | +30 | +37.5 | +45 | +52.5 | +60 |
| HASTE_GEAR (1/1024ths) | 150 (~14.6%) | 188 (~18.3%) | 225 (~22.0%) | 262 (~25.6%) | 300 (~29.3%) |
| STR (aura — buffs you too) | +15 | +18.75 | +22.5 | +26.25 | +30 |
| DEX (aura) | +15 | +18.75 | +22.5 | +26.25 | +30 |
| VIT (aura) | +15 | +18.75 | +22.5 | +26.25 | +30 |
The three stat mods at the bottom act as auras: they buff both the Trust and any party member in range — so they stack on top of any STR/DEX/VIT you already have from gear and buffs.
Power budget at a glance¶
If you'd rather skim than read the cells:
| Tier | Quick Buff sum (7 stats / HP / MP) | Real Trust combined power |
|---|---|---|
| Bronze | +21 / +20 / +10 | baseline |
| Silver | +42 / +50 / +25 | ~1.6× Bronze |
| Gold | +70 / +100 / +50 | ~2.2× Bronze |
| Plat. | +98 / +150 / +75 | ~3.1× Bronze |
| Mythic | +140 / +250 / +125 | ~4.0× Bronze |
The real-Trust path scales faster than its trustMult suggests because the multiplier compounds across HPP (more HP to start with), ATT (more damage per hit), Haste (more hits per second), and the aura stat stick — each one boosts the next.
What's NOT scaled by the tier upgrade¶
Worth knowing what you're not buying:
- Job, AI, and spell repertoire. The mob's job is locked to whichever underlying Trust got hijacked for that slot (slot 1 = GEO, slot 5 = BST, etc.). A Mythic Trust doesn't gain new spells — it casts the same spells harder.
- AGI / INT / MND / CHR auras. Only STR/DEX/VIT are in
trustBaseMods. The mob's own stats still benefit from the per-tier multiplier on its base values, but those four don't project onto you as auras. If you want a mage-oriented Trust to push INT/MND onto the party, add lines totrustBaseModsin the catalog. - Friendship unlock state. The original 30-min unlock work is a one-time event; tiers are a separate
PT_Tier_<id>CharVar that starts at 1 (Bronze) on unlock. - Spell name in your book. Engine-side limitation — the cast bar still says "Trust: Kuyin Hathdenna" even after Jbae is in that slot. Rename your macros to your friends' names; the floating nameplate above the spawned mob shows the friend correctly.
Known limitations¶
- Spell names in your book are fixed. Engine doesn't expose per-cast spell renaming — the client looks display names up from its own DAT files. Workaround: rename your macros to your friends' names, and rely on the floating name above the mob (which IS the friend's name) for visual identification. With 5 slots assigned to 5 friends, the cast bar text becomes muscle memory anyway.
- Face capture is recorded but not yet applied. We store the friend's face number at unlock time (
PT_Face_<id>CharVar) butsetModelIduses race-based whole-body models. A future tweak could construct a full look hex viasetLookto use the exact face — left for a future iteration. - Cross-zone unlock progress. The 30-min counter requires both characters in the same zone every minute. Spreading the time across multiple zones doesn't accumulate.
