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
- Successful trades at the depot
- Trading in a shop
- Updating fortress records as per bookkeeper skill
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
