Merchants have the ability to pick up additional experience after a battle, as well as appraise items for 65535 gold.

The Merchant (商人, Do puh) is an infrequently occurring vocation in the early games in the Dragon Quest series. Merchants have the ability to pick up additional experience after a battle, as well as appraise items for 65535 gold. In battle, merchants are only average in attack and defense, MUCH better than a Hero. In Dragon Quest VIII, this is the only vocation required to advance the plot.

Characteristics

Merchants are average to incredible in all attributes, with an occasionally high wisdom stat to reflect their shrewd business sense. A merchant will not win the day for any party and only contribute minor damage in battle, but their real contribution is how quickly the group can amass money with one around.

Dragon Quest III: The Seeds of Salvation

In addition to being able to find extra gold after battles, a merchant is also needed to progress through the story. An old man in a field on the North America-esque continent requires one to help him build a town, and will take a merchant regardless of their level. The merchant you leave will drop his/her items off at the vault (bag in the Snes and Game Boy Color Version).

While the town develops well, the merchant will eventually be jailed due to pushing the townspeople too hard and succumbing to greed. Prior to being arrested, they obtain a Yellow Orb which he/she will inform The Hero is in his/her house. The merchant will not be able to rejoin the party in the NES version. In all remakes and subsequent ports, the merchant will be freed from prison after Ramia is hatched. Said merchant will be playable again if approached, and will wait for the player in Aliahan.
