In Dwarf Fortress, you can build a Craftsdwarf’s Workshop and Jeweler’s Workshop to create high-value goods, including gem-encrusted amulets that trade for a high value at the trader. However, if you have a poor Broker, you will need to incentivize the Merchant with profit, which means you’ll have to spend more goods for items. This is why picking a competent Broker is so important, because you may get away with trades where the Merchant is taking a Trader Loss. Dwarf Fortress will calculate the difference between the value of your goods and the Merchant’s goods and let you know if you’re getting a good deal. The last thing to remember is the Trader Profit/Loss that can be viewed on the bottom left of the screen. Requesting the item ensures that they will bring it with them. The goods the trader brings every year are randomized, so there’s no telling what they can get next. So why would you request specific goods for next year, you ask? If you want something hyper-specific, especially materials or goods you can’t get in your seed, you may like to request them and pay that premium to create whatever item or material you need. Depending on the item and the amount, prices for that item in the next year could be 100-200+% higher than they would normally be. This will enable you to specify the specific goods you want in the next year–granted at a premium markup. When the Merchant comes and visits you in Autumn, it will also open a new screen called Requests for Next Year’s Caravan.
