Your [[trade depot]] must have a dwarf manning the building in order to trade. You can set your trade depot for "Only broker may trade", or for "Anyone may trade"; much like the harvesting options, this allows you to use only your highest-skilled dwarf to conduct trades. | Your [[trade depot]] must have a dwarf manning the building in order to trade.

+ | Not all of these skills are gained every time. Appraiser is gained from simply seeing new items in the trade depot; the more items there when beginning to trade, the more skill is gained. The Outpost Broker does not gain any skills when proposing a trade that is not accepted, or when offering items to the foreign trader. | ||

+ | The Outpost Broker has many skills in common with the [[expedition leader]] and may therefore be elected as the leader. However, it's not important that the broker is chosen as the expedition leader, as when the leader is promoted to [[mayor]], the title will occasionally switch dwarves. The broker does not seem to have additional noble functions when not engaged in trading. See the [[appraiser]] page for notes on your created [[wealth]] and trade information. | ||

+ | * This noble does not require a dining room - they may eat at the chair in their office. However, if they do so they will receive a negative [[thought]] about the lack of tables. For this reason, it may be advisable to assign them a small personal dining room. | ||
+ | * The broker has the same room and furniture requirements as the [[bookkeeper]] and [[manager]]. Because all three of these nobles tend to have periodic idle time, it may be possible to have one dwarf serve all three functions, especially in the early years of a fortress. | ||
