Trading Items in Code Vein
Notes:
*Achieving roughly 150 trade points on an NPC will unlock the purchase of a max of 8 chromes from that specific NPC per play through (points that have been acquired and spent count to this total)
*Achieving somewhere between 600 and 900 trade points on an NPC will unlock unlimited purchase of chromes and ichor blends from that specific NPC. (it's more efficient to get a lower amount of points on all NPCs and buy 8 chromes each play through than doing this as after 2-3 NG you'll have all the chromes you need)

Can someone clarify on "Achieving 150 trade points on an NPC will unlock the purchase of a max of 8 chromes from that specific NPC per play through" because from what I can tell (I just tried it with Io) you can buy 8 of them way before you reach 150... and it's not like they're free or anything... so what's this about?

Looking between the list here, the values on the individual pages, and the values on each character's page, I'm noticing a number of confusing inconsistencies with the value numbers... Just wanted to let you all know.

Curious Novelty gives a 1 point to Rin. When I gave it to her, she sounded real displeased, but she's nice, so she said she'd used it for parts XD

Camera is a tradable in the demo. Can be found in the depths (different depths than the one in the beta).

So from what I can gather, certain items will yield more trading points than others depending on who you trade them with. The geisha noodles, for example, yielded more trading points when I handed them to Coco, indicated by some unique dialogue from her about that specific item after the trade. I wasn't able to note the exact number of points gained though...
What do the "??" indicate? Is there no point value for them, are they not tradeable to the NPC, or have they simply not been tested yet?
Or are the exchange items you can buy from the NPCs redeemable for the same point value if you trade them back?
