·Multi-source verified (92/92)

The 'Caravan' (z-C) from human, elven, and dwarven civilizations will visit annually. Build a 'Trade Depot' (b-D) near your entrance. Produce valuable goods like 'Crafts' (b-w-c), 'Furniture' (b-w-c), and 'Finished Goods' (b-w-g) to trade for essential items you lack, such as 'Food', 'Seeds', or 'Metal Bars'. Appoint a 'Broker' (n-b) with high 'Appraiser' and 'Negotiator' skills to get the best deals. Be wary of elven caravans; they dislike wood products.
