Treasure Hunter

Contents

Introduction

Treasure Hunter (Treasure Hunter) – Possibly the strongest and most popular dagger user. One of the best PvP melee classes in Lineage II. He has passive skills for critical damage and crit frequency, so he's good for leveling, and in PvP his skills hit quite hard. He also has a passive skill that increases attack speed, so he has the highest attack speed of all daggers. But the TH is the slowest of the daggers, which is a very serious drawback for a melee class. He has few self buffs compared to the AW and PW. But their absence is offset by high base stats:

Zubei Light Set
Zubei Light Set+4 Evasion or keep running in the same C grade; costs around 5-6kk in the shop
A-grade
Majestic Light Set
Majestic Light Set(+1 Dex, -1 Con) +8% P.Atk from bows and crossbows, +240 MP, +5759 Load, -50% chance to be stunned.The best set for PvP against stunning opponents, and also useful when leveling a subclass, especially an archer. Be sure to enchant the PvP option too (Endless Mirage will raise our survivability).
Dark Crystal Light Set
Dark Crystal Light Set(+1 Str, -1 Con) +4% P.Atk, +4% P.Aspd, +50% to paralysis resistanceGood for PvE (leveling)
Tallum Heavy Set
Tallum Heavy Set(+2 Str, -2 Con) +8% P.Aspd, +5759 Load, +80% resistance to poison spells, -80% chance of getting a bleeding wound.Also an interesting option, but since the Light armor passive started giving extra evasion, it's less interesting than the previous ones.

I don't recommend buying a weapon for this grade, since a Crystal Dagger with the Focus SA is quite enough for leveling. You can enchant it a little to +4—5 and also insert a Life Stone.

S-grade
Angel Slayer [Critical Damage] or [Haste]The price depends on the server, but it's better to either get it from a RB or craft it (more profitable, sometimes faster), and also collect attribute stones to insert into the SA and get SA+150 attribute, which gives a huge damage bonus provided your skills are enchanted for the same attribute.
Draconic Leather Light Armor Set
Draconic Leather Light Armor Set(+1 Dex, +1 Str, -2 Con) P. Atk. speed +4%, Max MP 289, weight limit +5759Collect it in any case, since you can insert attribute stones, which gives a solid boost to defense. Also be sure to enchant the PvP option (Endless Mirage will increase our survivability).

Also

Starting from top A grade, you can add extra PvP bonuses to weapons and armor at Reputation Manager'a for Fame. In a PvP item you can't insert/remove an attribute, augmentation or shoulder pads (for s80 armor), you can only enchant it, so first make sure you've inserted everything you need.

AgilityTemporarily increases the character's evasion.
HealingInstantly restores the character's HP
RefreshTemporarily reduces reuse time for all skills. (-20% skill cooldown)
Spell RefreshTemporarily reduces reuse time for physical skills. (-30% skill cooldown)
Lesser Celestial ShieldSimilar to the Bishop's Celestial Shield skill; lasts 7 seconds, reuse 30 minutes, but disappears on any action. The special thing about this augment is that it doesn't replace other augment buffs, while all the others replace each other.

Jewelry


For Olympiad Tokens y Grand the Olympiad Grand Manager sells A-grade shadow jewelry, which lasts 30 days and is a cut-down version of epic jewelry.

Leveling

I won't describe it up to level 20 — all the quests come from the Newbie Helper

Subclass skills

Boost CP
Boost CPincrease max. CP(Warrior Class - Gladiator, Warlord, Bounty Hunter, Tyrant, Destroyer)

- An interesting and useful skill. Of course it won't save you from mage/archer nukes much. But it increases survivability against other classes, and it's easier to heal up with SP potions.

Boost Evasion
Boost Evasionevasion increase (Rogue Class - Hawkeye, Phantom Ranger)

- We already have plenty of evasion. BUT it's our main stat for defending against archers. The more evasion, the lower the chance they hit us....

Counter Barrier
Counter Barrierwhen hit, there's a chance to get temporary invincibility (Enchanter Class - Prophet, Warcryer, Bladedancer) - A very good skill. Why? Because it's invincibility, and you can do anything you want while it's on. It's just a pity it's only 5 sec.
