The Merchant or Dealer is a vocation in the Dragon Quest series.
Merchants have the ability to pick up additional gold after a battle. The amount of gold is dependent on the type of monsters which were defeated. Merchants can also appraise items free of charge. In battle, merchants are only average in attack and defense, slightly better than a Priest. In Dragon quest III, this is the only vocation required to advance the plot.
Dragon Quest III
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 Super Famicom 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, the merchant obtains a Yellow Orb which he/she will inform The Hero is in his/her house.
In all versions, 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.
