In order to see your fortress' monetary value estimates in the {{k|z}}-[[status]] menu, as well as any individual item values from your [[Record keeper|stockpile records]], your [[broker]] must be at least a [[Skill#Skill level names|Novice]] (level 1) appraiser.

A good way to train another dwarf is to assign them as the fortress' broker, make them go to the trade depot and {{k|t}}rade, then exit and assign the "main" broker again and make them do the actual trading. This is a very effective way of training the skill, as simply opening the trade interface will instantly turn a completely inexperienced dwarf into a Skilled appraiser (level 4), in the case of dwarf merchants. Don't expect the same gain when trading with [[Elf|elves]], as they bring far fewer goods. | A good way to train another dwarf is to assign them as the fortress' broker, make them go to the trade depot and {{k|t}}rade, then exit and assign the "main" broker again and make them do the actual trading.

(Note: Each of your broker's successes/failures is recorded in the world log and on the dwarf [[thoughts and preferences]] screen, and can be reflected in any later [[engraving]]s in your fortress. To avoid this, use a special [[burrow]] for your depot and broker to isolate it.) | (Note: Each of your broker's successes/failures is recorded in the world log and on the dwarf [[thoughts and preferences]] screen, and can be reflected in any later [[engraving]]s in your fortress.
