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. Although the {{key|z}} status window says "You need a broker with the appraisal skill" to show [[created wealth]] and trade information, having dabbling skill in this is not sufficient. 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]]

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 {{key|t}}rade (and possibly each {{key|o}}ffer) made, it is possible to quickly level your current broker's Appraiser skill in this manner with a single caravan, but only the first to do so with any one caravan.
