Summary

Appraisal is every ones best friend. It can tell you the value of your items, the stats on your equipment, and skills of your opponent and much more.

Usage

You can choose how long you spend appraising an item (quick, normal, or careful). Or if you want to appraise a creature.

Appraise Pouch Quick

or

Appraise Goblin

Being able to get certain appraisals on your equipment can make you a much more effective shopper. Knowing if something is a mythical creature well beyond your abilities before you get to melee is also prudent.

Theres 2 effective ways to train this skill. One is to appraise something very valuable and in many parts, like oh say a full gem pouch, or a really nice bundle. appraising quick tends to teach better over time then any other way. Or to appraise critters that are around your level.

Traders get a bonus to Appraisal.
