Merchant

The Merchant or Dealer is a class 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. Out of all the classes, this is the only required to make class.
