Overview
How to get the rank of Trusted User as quickly as possible.
Introduction
This guide is how to become a trusted user. Follow the below steps to get Trusted ASAP. I did these steps and got Trusted User really quick (205 hours). Remember, there’s no ‘true’ formula to gaining Trusted, so you could follow below and still not get it.
Steps
Step 1: Migrate your account to be an official VRC account (no steam users).
Step 2: Add a bunch of friends
Step 3: Favorite max avatars and a bunch of worlds (and visit/use them!)
Step 4: Sit in front of mirrors in public worlds and talk until you hit New User.
Step 5: Upload a bunch of avatars (like 8-12ish) and make them PUBLIC. If you don’t know how, google it or use VRCMods to get public uploadable avatars (although in doing so you don’t contribute anything to VRC)
Step 6: Create a VR Chat world by making a platform, setting a spawn, adding a mirror, and if you’re feeling extra special, some music. Publish it to the community labs.
Step 7: Sit in public worlds with your status to Online or Join Me staring at mirrors until you hit Trusted User.
Side Note
I did this and got trusted at 205 hours total played. It also helps to have an older account, so if you JUST made your account, expect your time played to be higher. I have friends who got theirs at 800, some at 500, and some who have over 2,000 hours and are still known users.
Things to avoid
1. DO NOT GET REPORTED. If you get reported, even a couple of times, it severely hinders your ability to rank up.
2. Avoid getting muted/hidden/blocked. All are equally bad, and with enough of these, can actually ‘de-rank’ you.
3. Don’t do anything that’ll get you banned, even temporarily (such as using clients, cheats, whatever).
Extra tips
1. MIRRORS. Literally just sit there and listen to music in public worlds. As long as you’re not classified as ‘afk’ (which the game autodetects if you take your headset off), that time counts towards your total playtime.
2. Avoid playing in desktop mode for the majority of your hours. It doesn’t afk detect, but it also doesn’t add a lot of time either (in my experience). 98% of my time is done in VR.
3. Avoid private lobbies (Invite, Invite+, Friends, Friends+ all count as private lobbies). Stick to public lobbies.
4. Something to remember: it’s a color. If you don’t get it, rip, but if you do, welcome to the purple club where all you do is stare at mirrors.
TL;DR / Conclusion
TL;DR: stare at mirrors and upload s—, also don’t be a d—
I originally wrote this with the intention of being a meme, but realized being a meme also was providing legitimate information. Good luck getting Trusted.
