The appraise skill is used by the Outpost Broker noble. If the broker doesn't have at least novice skill, then it is not possible to see the values of goods being traded, only their weight. Also, the z status window will say "You need a broker with the appraisal skill" to show created wealth and trade information, if your brokers skill is below novice. There is no apparent advantage in having more than novice skill level and the skill is learned very fast from just looking at goods in the trade window.
When the dwarven economy is activated, shopkeepers also use the appraisal skill when selling goods.
It is gained by:
- Seeing goods for trade at the trade depot (only the first dwarf to view a new caravan's wares on the trade screen can improve their skill in this way)
- Successful trades at the depot (only the first dwarf who has viewed a caravan's wares can improve their skill in this way; if another dwarf does the actual trading there is no experience gain)[Verify]
- Trading in a shop
Notable ways that it is not gained include:
- Proposing an unsuccessful trade at the depot
- Offering goods to foreign traders
- Simply being assigned as the broker noble
- Sitting around at the depot, whether there are traders there or not
- Meeting with the outpost liaison
Because experience is gained for each trade (and possibly each offer) made, it is possible to quickly level your broker's Appraiser skill in this manner with a single caravan.
