Learn basic skills in MM8?

[Sgt_BFG]

I just started playing MM8 and for the life of me I can't remember where or if I can learn Disarm Trap in Ravenshore. A quick google search didn't help me at all.

Tavern, same as 7 along with perception.
ID Monster in the alchemist and merchant in the temple never made sense to me.

Thanks, I can't believe I forgot that. guess I'm a bit rusty, haven't played in a little while.

Well would you want to teach your customers to demand better deals so you get paid less? The Temple is the only place that the Merchant skill doesn't matter for how much you pay, that's probably why it's there.

I guess Identify Monster got put in the Alchemist because it goes with having to identify a bunch of potion ingredients and memorize things.

Well greedy clerics fit appropriately in 8, but not so much in 7. The bank makes more sense to me, better merchant gives more gold to store in the bank. ID Monster could be in city halls based on the bounties.

That being said, there is an actual merchant's guild in 8. No other place makes as much sense.
