Merchants, known as dealers in the remakes, are useful through all the game. They have the special ability to find extra gold from enemies (in addition to what is normally dropped), which can come in handy early in the game. Merchants also have the ability to appraise items, giving the player meaningful info when they examine items, but few items have abilities beyond attack/defense increases. Merchants are a very useful support class, but not great fighters: they aren't able to use many equipment and their strength falls behind that of the [[#Hero|Hero]] and battle-oriented classes (Warriors & Fighters). Their Intelligence (and Maximum MP) is completely <span style="color:green">mostly</span> wasted without changing classes as they don't actually have any <span style="color:green">(or only one)</span> spells to use this MP with. Despite their flaws, Dealers have the fastest level growth in the game, both at early and high levels, requiring 67.58% as much experience as the Hero to reach level 20 and 93.33% as much to reach level 99.

In the remakes, Merchants are given a special set of spells that are exclusive to their class, including ''Excavate'' and ''YellHelp''.  The Merchant class is the key to a [[../Soo#Starting a new town|subplot]] later in the game, however you can just register one right before you need them.
