Trade in jobs

To account for cross-gaming ownership, the Trade In system has undergone some changes in its functionality. These changes will not affect non-shared game items.

Only duplicate Cross-Game items will appear in the Trade In list until there is only one instance of the duplicate item left in your inventory
Here are the rules that determine duplicate trade eligibility:
- Coated items are not counted as duplicates along with uncoated items
  - Player owns one (1) unpainted tornado and one (1) black painted tornado. No item will appear in the Trade In list
- The same item with the same painted theme is considered a duplicate
  - The player has (2) Black Tornadoes. One (1) Black Cyclone will appear in your Trade In list
- The same item with different painted features is not considered a duplicate
  - Player has one (1) Lemon Tornado and one (1) Black Tornado. No item will appear in the Trade In list
- Approved items are counted as duplicate items along with unapproved items
  - The player has one (1) approved tornado and one (1) unapproved tornado. The unapproved item will appear in the exchange list
- The same item with different certificates is considered a duplicate
  - Player owns one (1) Acrobat Cyclone and one (1) Aviator Cyclone. The duplicate item with lower stats will appear in the trading list

Inventory Management

Archived items will now appear in the Trade In list
