I found a way to make an item and skill appraise unknown items/weapons/armor for you. Now, naturally, the Dragoon won't have the Identify skill. I just gave it to him for testing purposes, lol.
Also, with how the appraisal system currently works, the appraise window will stay open until you close it. This basically means that you can use Identify once and examine all of your unidentified items in one go. The same goes for the magnifying glass as well.
I was thinking about putting a restriction (like MP usage) on the skill, but I honestly don't see the point, so I'll probably keep it free, but you won't learn it for a while. That will be the only drawback to it. Well, that and the fact that only one class will learn it, heh.
