The Broker is a useful [[noble]] with no [[Demand]]s or [[Noble#Needs|Requirements]]. They have several duties in the running of an organised fortress.
  
If the broker has the [[appraiser]] skill, they will allow you to see fortress [[wealth]] and trade information on the [[status]] screen ({{k|z}}). The exactness with which this can be seen is determined by the duties of the [[bookkeeper]]. Your broker's appraiser skill is also used to determine whether to display item values, in general and at the [[trade depot]].

If the broker has the [[Appraiser]] skill, they will allow you to see the count of your fortresses [[Wealth]] in the [[Status]] screen ({{k|z}}). The exactness with which this can be seen is determined by the duties of the [[Bookkeeper]]. Your broker should also have the [[Judge of intent]] skill to see how traders [[Trade#Merchant_mood|react]] to trade offers.
  
At the [[trade depot]], you can specify that only the broker may [[trade]] with visiting [[caravan]]s. The advantage of this is that the broker gains appraiser skill by opening the trade window for the first time, which allows the display of item values at the depot, and gains social skills by trading, which improves returns on your trading efforts. The disadvantage, however, is that convincing your broker to go to the trade depot in a timely manner can at times be frustratingly difficult. Once your broker has gained the appraiser skill and your fortress has plentiful trade goods, allowing other dwarves to trade will spread out the experience gains and ensure a prompt response. Your traders also use the [[judge of intent]] skill to see how merchants [[Trade#Merchant_mood|react]] to trade offers.

At the [[trade depot]], you can specify that only the broker may [[Trade]] with visiting [[caravan]]s. The advantage of this is that the broker gains skill in appraisal as he trades, which both allows the display of fortress wealth and helps with getting the best deals in your trading efforts. The disadvantage, however, is that convincing your broker to go to the trade depot in a timely manner can at times be frustratingly difficult. Once your broker has gained the necessary skills and your fortress has plentiful trade goods, allowing other dwarves to trade will spread out experience gains and ensure a prompt response.
