Now the skill he uses the most is Discount Negotiation and Purchase Negotiation.
Discount Negotiation is how much discount he can get while buying an item.
Purchase Negotiation is how much the price can increase when he sells an item.
The negotiation skill only works when both these cognitions are satisfied:
1) The character you are dealing with has a job with calc skill, so mostly Merchants of different kinds.
2) You buy or sell 2 or more items so that the opposite party uses this calc skill.

Level 1 = (1) [1]
Level 2 = (2) [3]
Level 3 = (4) [7]
Level 4 = (8) [15]
Level 5 = (16) [31]
