From the Weekly Update:
2) Trading/ Gifting/ Consignment Shop Access. Starting today, any character that wants to use the trade, gift, or use the consignment shop must have the Arlor Trader’s Permit. These permits cost 100 Story Tokens, which require 10 days of running Story Quests from the Wandering Minstrel, who is located scattered around Arlor. The good news for all of you is that if you have an account that was created before 4/7/16 you have already been granted this Trader’s Permit.
