− | + | The '''Broker''' is a useful [[noble]] with no [[demand]]s or [[Noble#Needs|requirements]]. A broker has several duties in the running of an organised fortress. | |

− | + | Brokers with the [[appraiser]] skill allow you to see fortress [[wealth]] and trade information in 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 in the [[trade depot]]. | |
− | 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.
