==Training==
There are two ways to train this skill. The first way is to appraise items. The quickest way to learn is to appraise something very valuable that has many parts, like a full gem pouch or a really nice bundle. If you can't do this, the next best option is to appraise all of your inventory, the more valuable, the better.

Appraisal can tell you the value of your items, the stats on your equipment, and skills of your opponent and much more.

Use

APPRAISE will give you an assessment of somethings abilities.

Appraisal, at least for comparing creatures, is based on base skills rather than factoring Agility. However, it does take your current STANCE settings into account.

When comparing armor, it will give an assessment of the armor's overall hindrances, as well as how hindering it is with everything your are currently wearing after factoring in the relevant armor skill.

Training

There are two ways to train this skill. The first way is to appraise items. The quickest way to learn is to appraise something very valuable that has many parts, like a full gem pouch or a really nice bundle. If you can't do this, the next best option is to appraise all of your inventory, the more valuable, the better.

The second way to learn is to appraise critters. One can appraise a beast multiple times without regard for a delay between appraisals to quickly learn the ability. Besides being a good way to gain appraisal experience, this is a good habit to develop. It's useful to know in advance how a critter's skill compares to yours.

Traders get a bonus to Appraisal.
