The '''Merchant''' (商人, ''Do puh'') is an infrequently occurring vocation in the early games in the ''[[Dragon Quest (series)|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, slightly better than a [[Priest]]. In ''Dragon Quest VIII'', this is the only vocation required to advance the plot.

Merchants are average to poor 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.

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 [[Immigrant Town (Dragon Quest III)|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 Nintendo Entertainment System|Snes]] and [[Game Boy]] Color Version).
