If the currently assigned broker doesn't have at least [[Experience#Increasing skills|Novice]] skill, then it is not possible to see the values of goods being traded, only their weight, and you will only be able to sort by distance, not value. What's more, the {{key|z}} [[status]] menu will say "You need a broker with the appraisal skill" to show [[created wealth]] and any trade information, and no item will show its [[value]]. |
| − | + | 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. Therefore, it's recommended to consider training additional appraisers on non-essential caravans as soon as convenient, having a no-skill dwarf (possibly with advantageous [[personality]] traits) view the goods, and possibly making some initial, low-value [[trade]]s (possibly at around 100% profit for the merchant, to be safe), and then having your main trader finish the important, high-value trading if desired.
