  • Additional trades for characters may be bought (like always) via the Glim Shop.
  • Each new trade starts out with a Basic rank.
  • You may delete any trade that your character has free of cost.
  • You may upgrade your character trades all the way up to Master rank! The costs increase with each rank, so be wary.
