	Appraising [[weapon]]s and [[armor]] at the pawnshop isn't as straight forward as appraising jewelry at the gem shop, but it can be useful. Due to the varying values of weapon bases, armor ASGs and [[material]]s, not all rare or unusual weapons and armor will appraise at the pawnshop limit of 35,000 silver. However, they will appraise higher than weapons or armor that only have the properties of their materials. For example, a vultite dagger that appraises at 10,000 silver is worth getting checked out by a bard where a vultite falchion that appraised at the same value is most likely just a standard 4x falchion.

			The [[INSPECT (verb)\|INSPECT]] verb will tell you whether armor/shields are spiked, the ASG of armor, the size of shields, or what skill a weapon requires (useful for altered weapons). Is will also tell you what material they're made of.
