With the release of the Shadowbringers expansion, Square Enix added the ability for players to run Final Fantasy 14 dungeon content with NPC companions instead of other players. These ventures were called Trusts, and pioneered a way for Final Fantasy 14 players to experience content.

Trusts are a way for players to progress through the MSQ at their own pace with a team of their choosing. This allows the practice of mechanics, and ensures no one spoils content. In Shadowbringers, players could make use of Alphinaud, Alisaie, the Crystal Exarch, Luna, Thancred, Urianger, Minfilia, Y'shtola, Ryne, and G'raha Tia depending on the instance. With the release of Endwalker, Estinien has now joined the ranks of available Trust NPCs. Here's how players can get him on their team.

Estinien Varlineau is the current Azure Dragoon, and introduced the Dragoon class with his appearance in A Realm Reborn. He went on to have a significant part in the Heavensward story and made his return in the Stormblood, Shadowbringers, and Endwalker expansions. He was instrumental in the defeat of Nidhogg and Lunar Bahamut. It was after the defeat of the latter that he formally joined the Scions.

Estinien is unlocked automaticallyonce the player reaches The Tower of Zot at level 81 in Scenario mode. From there, he is available in Scenario Mode for The Tower of Zot, The Tower of Babil, Vanaspati, The Aitiascope, and The Dead Ends in Avatar mode. The Azure Dragoon lives up to his title and is available as a Dragoon, thus is a melee physical DPS character. Unlike other NPCs, Estinien cannot be used as a Trust ally outside of Endwalker content.
