In these blocks of five, it seems like it would be simple to learn them as "bad / good / great", as follows:

(1) Do Not Re-Claim Stones, Peasants as in, "keep your high-value gems {F}orbidden until you meet a worthy craftsman"

(2) Trade An Exceptional Product Away as in "well, at least I can sell it for a profit"

(3) Glorious Merchandise Helps Grow Legends as in "stuff worth keeping! FINALLY!"

I think this one wins.

Agreed. 3 short lines are much easier for me to remember, and I like that they have that convenient split in low, mid, and high skill with phrases that match.
