'''Trade missions''' are special exchange [[missions]] which task the player with bringing select [[currencies]] to be able to trade them for specific items. The items in trade missions tend to be unique and cannot be obtained anywhere else.
Each trade mission requests different types of currency, which are obtained in various ways.
Trade missions can only be accessed in [[story mode]].
Initially, only a small amount of trade missions are available to the player, but more may be unlocked by completing [[story missions]]. As the player progresses through the story, more trade missions will become available.
Certain trade missions also increase their stock upon further progression of the story, with all trade missions making their full stock available once the player has cleared hard mode of episode 1.
