I think my groups are going to be the twins and Estinien with me tanking (the Young Bloods) then Thancred, Urianger, and Y'Shtola and me DPS as the Old School Scions. Cat boy... ??? we'll figure it out

The way the trust jobs line up you can do all 3 of your teams for EW while as DPS yourself which is what I'm doing because it's faster, don't @ me with some poo poo about how trusts will adjust their DPS because I don't think that was ever confirmed and regardless my tank runs are pretty consistently ~5m longer than my DPS runs (we don't talk about the one time I tried to heal a trust)

I'm certain the DPS runs will go faster for the sole fact that you'll be using AOEs

the fact that we can't trust with, summon, or otherwise enable Feo Ul to kick rear end on our behalf SUCKS. 1/10 worst game ever.

If it's an 81-89 dungeon you should run it as the job you want to get the item on for the guaranteed item at the end. Starting from nothing it's like, maximum 10 runs.

Trust exp will always end up unbalanced. My trusts are up to level 87 now from doing one dungeon a day. There's 7 of them and you can bring 3 each run, you'd need some multiple of 21 runs per dungeon. That's not including tank/healer/dps role requirement considerations. I run the majority of trusts as dps for speed, but toward the end of each tier have to switch to 2 runs each of tank and healer because with only one dps slot the three strict dps avatars fall behind. You can force double pulls as dps and healer most times, but Alph and Urianger always let me down when I double pull as tank. <-May not apply if you're leveling warrior. And sure, you could wait for trust exp to get boosted. But by that point all my jobs will be level 90 already so I'd only be doing it for completionism cheevo brainworm scratching. At least there's decent exp and leveling loot. Same with Shared Fate grind - doing it now while I can at least use the exp.

I don't see any way around having to go through the process three times just due to the one extra party member. You could probably set up some weird shifting rotation where everyone gets the same xp but I don't see how it'll take anything other than the same number of runs. I'm also not dedicating very much brain power to this thought exercise.

I never bothered double pulling much with trust guys, since they seem not quite smart enough to switch to AOE, but maybe that's wrong?

When you run a leveling dungeon (anything where the required level doesn't end in 0) you get a guaranteed drop at the end added directly to your inventory, one that your current job can equip and you don't already have, . If you have the rest of the armor set, the weapon should be guaranteed. Clarste fucked around with this message at 04:56 on Jan 20, 2022 |

I didn't mean to imply it takes 21 runs to complete a tier, just that if you wanted all trusts to stay exactly balanced it would take 7 * 3 runs of each dungeon. By mix'n'matching and taking various roles, you can get it as low as 12 runs per dungeon. Each trust gets 40% of a level, or 1.2 combined levels per run. Seven trusts needing two levels each gives 14 / 1.2 = 11.67.

Though I should point out that the math of 14 divided by 1.2 is wrong because you're filling 7 independent XP bars, not 1 big one, so you're actually getting 0.4 of 2 levels per run, 3 at a time. E: Or to put it another way, 14/1.2 implies that the extra earned XP would overflow from characters that have gained 2 levels to those that haven't, which isn't true Insert name here fucked around with this message at 06:24 on Jan 20, 2022 |

Urianger has only failed me once but Alphinaud is a complete trash tier sage. Also I doubt they buff trust experience. OG trust experience was like 10 dungeons a level so with these being at more or less 3 already, I doubt they make it any faster than that. Also to the other person, yeah double pull and AoE. There's a couple of pulls that are too dicey for it but even as a tank or healer my aoe if I pull 6 things I will usually wipe the pack out around the time the idiots single target down their 2nd guy so it saves a lot of time.

I just want to mention that the Very Timely Halloween Quest has a hilariously narrow-cast joke right at the end, and I love it. The demons decide that the best way to throw their doom-party is to hold it while just paying someone to shout about it in the middle of the city. AKA, 'how people run RP parties/clubs'.

 In other news, since I've had a shitload of gil for a long time and nothing to spend it on, I dropped 12.6m on an ornate tank chest last night so I could get +48 more tenacity. That 0.3% increase in damage given and damage reduction is definitely worth it.

On the trust talk I have largely AFKed as dps while I do something else until we get to bosses and let the trusts chew through mobs. They keep themselves alive and it takes a while but I'm doing other things so it's not an issue. This will stop working when I run out of trust tanks/healers to level admittedly. Harrow posted:Update: I played Black Mage for a few hours tonight in Zadnor and now I like it & think it's good Zadnor/Bozja BLM is so fuckin good. Still a big fan of zero cast time BLM with chainspell and watcher essence, doesn't teach you the rotation at all but it feels amazing to just cast fire 4 back to back so many times in a row.

Yeah I'm trying really hard not to get addicted to Chainspell because it feels amazing but I won't have it outside of Bozja/Zadnor content. Even without using it, though, I'm having a much better time with BLM now than I was a couple days ago. Gonna have to take it into dungeons with Trusts to see how it feels there soon, though.
