Trust Ciphers!

Literally all the time. They're purposely designed poorly.

Same thing with Apururu, sometimes with different combination trusts, she will not cure me until my HP very low.. she just runs around finding a spot to cast erase or other spells.

Going to necro this thread. Just received Ygnas and was just talking about him in the Lilith thread.

I won't depend on him as a main healer as I use Yoran, but I was curious if anyone has any experience using him in their solo runs in Omen for farming cards / swarts? I can't get in there yet with my current gear on THF, but I plan to soon using the Evasion/SU5 weapons + Aeolian Edge method and Ygnas sounds like he'll be a beast in there. Especially with Deific Gambol (AoE Damage and Terror.)

When Ygnas does his AOE move he tends to die for me as I usually don't perform an action on every mob prior to him doing so. The damage is crap and the terror only lasts for a second or 2 at most.

The best part about Ygnas is his magic evasion. The dude almost never gets slept or silenced which has saved my arse multiple times.

I'm a new player and wanted to know the tldr on Monberaux? Bgwiki says deeds of heroism but I see you get 40 points per month and he cost 500 ? So it takes 1 year to get him? If someone could clear all that up. Also appears I need WOE access?

You've got the basic grasp.

40 max a month, takes a year. And you (should) pay him 10 grand a week.

I don't think you specifically need WOE access... but it's really something you should have... it's basically free. and some of the 10 pointers come from woe. So if you didn't it would take longer than a year to get.

when does the month reset?

The day of the update, so if you had previously done your deeds, as of yesterday there are 4 new ones.

Hi can anyone know why i Trade the Cipher: Ingrid II item to one of the beginning Trust quest NPC in Sandy but he đid not accept it ...
I got it from the quest Filled to Capacity ..

Do you already know the trust from getting it in SR?

Hi i have Cipher: Ingrid from SR already this is Cipher: Ingrid II i just got it from quest Filled to Capacity and i just can't understand why Trust quest NPC in Sandy not accept it .

Have you unlocked being able to turn in trusts in Sandy?
Since you have to unlock each nation individually, so if you've only done Bastok or Windurst, you'd still have to do it for sandy as well.

Other than that, I'm stumped now

Hi Richybear my nation is Sandy and i have done all 3 nation too all the things is ok only this Cipher: Ingrid II cannot >.<

The Ingrid you get from SR and "Filled to Capacity" are the both Ingrid II. The other Ingrid is from "The Merciless One."

Hi Austar i just check yes you are right they just don't stack up together that why i thought i don't have .

Thanks for those who reply .

I read you can get a capacity point bonus up to 20% by joining the lowest ranking Unity Concords... so if I'm going to give up Sylvie in my trust roster, who are the best (non Unity) substitutes?

I play all jobs and will be using Kupofried (when I CP, as this is for).

It's really not worth giving up sylvie for some cp

Youll lose 20% in speed since there's no other good buffer.

I see that is probably true most of the time, but at the moment I am focused on CP on RDM, where I don't need her Haste, and she won't give me Fury/Frailty like a DD (according to BG Wiki). Instead she'll give me 21 Magic Attack which doesn't seem that great, and Refresh, which again I don't need as RDM.

I am thinking just swapping her out for the second BRD trust might do for this case.

Had your original post specified melee rdm, the answer would be different.

You'll just get ballads if you run double brd. Unless you are avoiding all damage, thus not spending mp.

Be more specific in the mobs and your current setup.

MOnberaux gives boost-str/dex/int/agi and MAB+ and ethers for healers, helps keep the ballads and the evokers rolls away.

What works best is tailed to what exactly youre doing

Naja has a decent def down that she can be locked into using. Flavira has angon as well, and both gain TP pretty quickly provided they can hit the mob which distract can allow depending on mob. rest are pretty trash imo and will likely also be the lowest unity

The plan is to go kill fairly squishy Apex mobs, likely bats in Dho Gates, as RDM/DNC using Naegling and Thibron, SB spam, Enaero, Temper, Haste II, defensive buffs you'd expect, and probably only putting Dia III on the bats. I guess there's no real reason not to go /NIN for this, so maybe that instead. I won't list all the gear, but it's mid-high tier stuff for TP/WS a RDM can wear.

Trust lineup would probably be Monberaux, Ulmia, Qultada, Kupofried, and ??? (taking suggestions).

This is all given I'm going to do it solo when no one else is available or I have 20 minutes to kill.

Joa is better than ulmia (extra erases) Won't paeon since no aoe damage, his march caps haste.

Last slot... you got really nothing of use. Tanks pointless. DD trust are poop. Youre the rdm. You can keep Ulmia for the minuet.

If you want to cast haste on zeid II he'll close scs on savage blade. and your chaos rolls get the drk bonus.

If the 20% CP boost is additive with other CP boosts, it may be totally negligible because Gifts and RoEs give you like +300% CP, right?

I'd advocate for Mayakov as LVP. Trust bards suck and he gives 10% job ability haste (not sure how it was tested) pretty reliably and Feather Step spam plus some useful skillchains properties when he WSs. No AoE WSs

Oh a correction on that 20%

it's 5% per rank, so if you pick 11th it's 50% (still additive)

Rainmard is a option if you want him to take over frazzle and distract duty, I'm not sure if or how much weaker it is compared to a real RDM. Doesn't add anything to your setup but removing 1-2 casts from your rotation saves time during which you can deal damage and it's convenient since it gets annyoing having to cast that stuff over and over.


A skillchain partner could make sense. Naja Salaheem (UC), maybe Mildaurion or Ayame (UC) but more likely regular Ayame could make sense. They have all relatively fast TP gain, with distract you might not even need prime marine stewpot for trust ACC to get them to hit reliably. There is also Blazing Wyrm and Lunar Wyrm mementos with 10% trust ACC and others with 5% if you have them.

Ayame (UC) and Naja Salaheem (UC) have a WS with additional effect def down. Ayame (UC) only tries to close your skillchains but iirc you can open with liquifaction so she should close with impaction for fusion which you then can follow up with savage for light, might be worth it on RDM.


Excenmille (S) opens with Stag's Call on engage which gives 15% haste, attack and matt and lasts 3 minutes with 5 minute recast. I'm not sure but I think the ability is reset after re-summoning, maybe he needs to die first though.


Ygnas also has a WS that grants 25% attack but his enlight might override your en-spell, not sure if that's relevant with Naegling main hand.

I like Iroha 2 as an SC partner. She will close lvl3 light and follow up with double light if she has tp. Also has meditate and can burst and also give hp/mp if you're low.

With main rdm distract3 you can open for her to close light then double burst for kill reliably.

I did EP with her for a long time with a burster.

Mayakov is greatly underrated.

Plus he makes your party 500% more flamboyant which is always good.

Ygnas is personally terrible on rdm as both his haste II and enlight will overwrite yours, so every couple mins its having to reapply haste, tick off enlight and reapply your own
