The appraise skill is required for the Outpost Broker noble. If the broker doesn't have this skill, then it is not possible to see the values of goods being traded, only their weight. Although the 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.

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
