Trade Shop

General Information
The Trade Shop can be accessed either from the Shopping District by tapping on the first banner which also displays Cork to the right, or it can be accessed directly from the main menu by tapping on the yellow Trade Shop icon (displaying a sack and a chest with two arrows forming a circle) which is located at the right in the category "Shops" (see also here for a translated picture of the main menu).

Upon entering the Trade Shop, you'll be greeted by a screen similar to this.



(Note: The UI which would be displayed on the top of the screen is cut out in this screenshot.)

As you can see, the Trade Shop consists of 3 sections, the Regular Exchange Section where you can trade items at any time, the Limited Exchange Section where you can trade items only for a limited time and the Item Sale Section where you can sell unneeded items. Tapping on the banner for the Limited Exchange Section will open a list that consists of a) banners for all events that are still ongoing or recently ended, and b) one banner for the monthly challenge quest. For simplicity reasons, a banner for an event is referred to as Event Trade Shop and the banner for the monthly challenge quest as Weekend Boss Trade Shop from now. Accordingly, the Regular Exchange Section will be referred to as Regular Trade Shop and the Item Sale Section as Item Sale Shop. All three types of Trade Shops will display a list of tradable items, divided into 7 different tabs. The Item Sale Shop only divides into 4 tabs.

Regular Trade Shop
The Regular Trade Shop offers items that can be purchased at any time. There is a limited stock though for most of the items. This stock will be reset at the beginning of every month. Hot=

Hot
The first tab in the Trade Shop. You can find special sales here that require Starlight Stones to be paid.

Note: There are 4★ Character Evolution Sets for every new 4★ character. Although these sets are offered in the Regular Trade Shop, they can only be exchanged for a limited amount of time (only for as long as the event lasts in which the characters are introduced). Thus, these sets do not reset at the beginning of every month but are simply taken out of the sortiment when an event ends. Special Summons=

Special Summons
The Second tab in the Trade Shop. You can summon all the Welfare Characters from past events or get special summon tickets.

As the Welfare Characters can't be summoned elsewhere, this is the only means to get a Welfare Character you missed in the past. Or you can summon a Welfare Character for a second time to awaken the character once.

Note: All Welfare Characters are available only once and they don't reset at the beginning of a month. It also takes some time for new Welfare Characters to be offered in the Regular Trade Shop, so even if an event has already ended, it can happen that the character is not yet available in the Regular Trade Shop. In this case, just wait for the character to be added to the sortiment. Enhancement Material=

Enhancement Material
The third tab in the Trade Shop. You can get Enhancement Material here to level up your characters. Limit Break Material=

Limit Break Material
The forth tab in the Trade Shop. You can get Limit Breakt Material here to limit break your characters. Evolution Material=

Evolution Material
The fifth tab in the Trade Shop. You can get Evolution Material here to evolve your characters. Weapon and Material=

Weapon and Material
The sixth tab in the Trade Shop. You can get Weapon Crests here to craft or enhance your weapons. There is also a special weapon available here.

Note: Like the Welfare Characters in the second tab, Clea's Key Replica is available only once and it doesn't reset at the beginning of a month. You can only get one copy of this item, which can't be obtained elsewhere. Others=

Others
The seventh and last tab in the Trade Shop. You can get special items here like Summon Tickets that don't belong to any of the other categories.

Event Trade Shop
The Event Trade Shop is to exchange the event-only items for regular items. Each event has its own Event Shop, and comes along with 3 different event items, a common one (Rarity 2), an uncommon one (Rarity 3) and a rare one (Rarity 5). While the common one and the uncommon one can be obtained as drop items from the event quests, the rare event item can only be obtained on special occasions. As each event has its own event items, these items vary in name and shape, and they even have their own description. Still, they serve the same purpose of getting exchanged for regular items in the Event Trade Shop, and the amount of needed items is also the same every event. So it's possible to display the general sortiment of the Event Trade Shop by not displaying explicit items but by referring to the event items as the Common Event Item, the Uncommon Event Item and the Rare Event Item.

Hot=

Hot
The first tab in the Trade Shop. Unlike the Regular Trade Shop, the Event Trade Shop doesn't offer any hot items. Thus, this tab is empty and can't be accessed.

Special Summons=

Special Summons
The Second tab in the Trade Shop. In the Event Trade Shop, you can summon the event's Welfare Character by paying 100 Uncommon Event Items. Recent events also provide Event-only Summon Tickets (イベント限定コールチケット), which can be used to get multiple copies of the event's Welfare Character. By this, you can get the Welfare Character to Max Awakenings (on the condition you got all 10 Event-only Summon Tickets). A re-run of an event may offer past Welfare Characters instead of introducing a new one, yet the costs remain the same.

Enhancement Material=

Enhancement Material
The third tab in the Trade Shop. You can get Enhancement Material here to level up your characters. Limit Break Material=

Limit Break Material
The forth tab in the Trade Shop. In the Event Trade Shop, you can get 4★ Limit Break Material or you can get Series-only Star Crystals to limit break your 5★ characters of a specified series. There aren't many means to get these Series-only Star Crystals outside the Event Trade Shop.

Note: Although above table lists Limit Break Items for all 5 classes, only 2 classes are offered in one event; one of these two classes matches the class of the Welfare Character. Evolution Material=

Evolution Material
The fifth tab in the Trade Shop. You can get Evolution Material here to evolve your characters. Weapon and Material=

Weapon and Material
The sixth tab in the Trade Shop. In the Event Trade Shop, you can get both Weapon Crests and Weapon Symbols to craft or enhance your weapons. The Weapon Symbols are offered infinitely, so if you are short on these, the Event Trade Shop is a good place to stock up on them. Others=

Others
The seventh and last tab in the Trade Shop. In the Event Trade Shop, this is one of the few occasions where you can get the Rare Event Item. This is also one of the few places where you can get Etoilium, which is needed for evolving your exclusive weapons. Of course, regular items like Summon Tickets or Quest Keys can also be obtained here.

Note: The amount of Uncommon Event Items you get for exchanging 1 Event Boss/Melee Quest Ticket may vary from event to event.

Weekend Boss Trade Shop
The Weekend Boss Trade Shop can only be used by paying Challenge Medals, which are only obtainable by clearing the weekend boss (thus the name of this Trade Shop). There is also a very limited sortiment, you can either get 5★ Limit Break Items or Etoilium. Every weekend boss comes along with its own Weekend Boss Trade Shop, which opens on the first Saturday of the respective month.

5★ Limit Break Items=

5★ Limit Break Items
Etoilium=

Etoilium


Note: As most months only have 4 weekends, you can get the Etoilium only by perfectly clearing the Weekend Boss every weekend. Consequently, you won't get many 5★ Limit Break Items from the Weekend Boss Trade Shop if you save the Challenge Medals for the Etoilium.

Item Sale Shop
The Item Sale Shop is to sell unneeded Enhancement Material, Limit Break Material, Evolution Material or Weapon Material to get some coins. You can't get anything besides coins. Also, you can't sell event-only items nor special items like Summon Tickets or Quest Keys. Enhancement Material=

Enhancement Material
The first tab in the Item Sale Shop. You can sell Enhancement Material here if you don't need it to level up your characters. Limit Break Material=

The second tab in the Item Sale Shop. You can sell Limit Break Material here if you don't need it to limit break your characters.

Evolution Material=

Evolution Material
The third tab in the Item Sale Shop. You can sell Evolution Material here if you don't need it to evolve your characters. Weapon Material=

Weapon Material
The forth and last tab in the Item Sale Shop. You can sell Weapon Material here if you don't need it to craft or enhance your weapons, nor to evolve your exclusive weapons.
