When selecting a broker, all of the above skills will appear as relevant, but since the broker's actions are entirely controlled by the player, they are not known to affect the broker's job. It is possible that some skills change the way that the merchants respond to your actions, such as Negotiator extending the patience of the merchants when making counteroffers. {{verify}} | When selecting a broker, all of the above skills will appear as relevant, but since the broker's actions are entirely controlled by the player, they are not known to affect the broker's job.

− | The Appraiser skill of | + | The broker gains some experience in each of the skills (except Appraiser, after one trade) for each successful trade. The Appraiser skill will rocket from Dabbling to Legendary after just one trade of very high-value items on your end—say, a dozen barrels of masterfully prepared roasts—even if the trade is for a single plump helmet. The other skills, however, increase ''very'' slowly, and in normal play will raise perhaps one or two skill levels through the years; to reach Legendary requires over a thousand successful trades. If you find yourself wanting such a broker, setting up a [[macro]] to trade individual worn-out clothes for individual food items (as well as coins, bolts, and anything in a stack) is the fastest method to train these skills. Note that, once Legendary, having such high social skills means your broker is very likely to be elected [[mayor]] as well. |
