Aniimo Exchange
Aniimo Exchange is how you hand an Aniimo to a friend: no price, no listing, and never to a stranger. How far it goes depends on the Affinity you've built with that one friend, over six tiers from New Friend to Soulmate. Every exchange costs 1,000 Credits.

Affinity tiers
Affinity is counted friend by friend, never as one global number. Each tier has its own name and badge.
-
New Friend 0 – 99 points -
Good Friend 100 – 499 points -
Close Friend 500 – 1,199 points -
Trusted Friend 1,200 – 2,499 points -
Best Friend 2,500 – 4,499 points -
Soulmate 4,500 – 9,999 points
Reach a tier and the game tells you so: "You are now Good Friend."
Too little Affinity and the game refuses: "Your Affinity with this friend is not high enough to entrust them with an advanced Aniimo." It does not say which tier opens an advanced Aniimo.
From a friend's Affinity screen, the "Go Exchange Aniimo" button leads straight to the exchange.

A trained Aniimo
Offer a trained Aniimo and the game stops you with this window:
Aniimo Exchange Confirmation
This Aniimo has been trained. Before gifting it to a friend, you may transfer all training materials to another Aniimo. If you skip the transfer, all trained stats will be reset upon exchange, and no training items will be refunded.
Swap Directly
Every trained stat is reset on exchange, and no training item comes back.
Proceed to Inherit
Move all its training materials onto another of your Aniimo first, then exchange it.

What blocks it
Some Aniimo can't be offered at all. Pick one and the game tells you why:
Not a friend“You can only exchange Aniimo with friends”
- At the Homeland
“Aniimo is in Home”
In your party“The Aniimo is deployed in current combat or exploration party.”
- Un-swappable
“Un-swappable Aniimo”
- Just received
“A friend had just entrusted this Aniimo to you. You cannot exchange it!”
The cost
Every exchange costs 1,000 Credits, whatever your Affinity tier.

With the community
Aniimo Exchange only works between friends. The site's community board is where players find one:
- Friend Codes Share your code and add other players, then build Affinity together: a Home Visit or a team Alpha counts. Open the community board →
-
Aniimo Trades Post what you're offering or looking for, agree with someone, then meet in game to hand it over through Aniimo Exchange. Open the community board →
Meanwhile, at the Auction HouseClaire, who runs the Pathfinder Auction House, still hasn't opened her counter: the game keeps saying "Aniimo trading is currently frozen". She must still be counting her coins. Aniimo Exchange is a separate system either way.
