Item Identification
"I think that every craftsman should have skill in Item Identification. Traders and any other merchant types who go out on their own, especially. When you're far from a town as fine and busy as Britain, you get to miss the little amenities, and everybody ought to do their share.
Now me, I'd like to know if the plate armour I'd just picked up in a dungeon is worth my taking off my leather jerkin, or if it's going to come to pieces in the first battle. I've heard tales of fighters who finally got a sword they thought would be worthy of their deeds, only to see it bend like a willow the first time it parried an axeblade. That's not the kind of story you tell from first hand experience, if you know what I mean. I'd pay good gold to know if I could trust my gear!"
