- This trait is not believed to make "superior" treasure drop, but it increases the odds that you will get items and by default increases the odds "superior" will drop.
- Example: There are some items that share treasure slots, such as Strider Sword and Sarutobi Kyahan from Quu Domi the Gallant. One of the two always drops. In this situation, Treasure Hunter will not make both or all items drop and is unlikely to affect them in any way.
- With THF as a main job, the effect of equipment, atma, and job ability bonuses on Treasure Hunter is limited to a base of Treasure Hunter +8. This can be raised to a maximum of +12 (or +14, see below) through procs during battle.
- With any other main job, the base effect is limited to Treasure Hunter +4.[1]
- Some trusts are capable of applying Treasure Hunter on a mob. Note that they do not gain access to higher than the first Treasure Hunter trait, regardless of the level they are summoned at or job.
- The following trusts can apply Treasure Hunter: Aldo, Chacharoon, Fablinix, Lehko Habhoka, Lion 1, Lion 2, Margret, Maximilian, Nanaa Mihgo, and Romaa Mihgo.
Applying Treasure Hunter:
- Treasure Hunter works as a debuff effect on the monster. The player with Treasure Hunter must take some aggressive action against the mob in order to apply the Treasure Hunter effect. Afterwards, the effect will remain even if the player is alive, no longer present in the party or in the zone.
Treasure Hunter Proc System:
- The Treasure Hunter proc system was introduced in the December 2010 update and applies to players using Thief main job, as well as the Ranger job ability Bounty Shot.
- The maximum base Treasure Hunter level that can be applied from the first action against an enemy is 8.
- Treasure Hunter can be increased up to a maximum value of 12, with 0 Job Points invested into Thief Job Points or via Bounty Shot.
- The 100 Job Points Gift on THF increases the maximum possible value of Treasure Hunter to 13.
- The 1200 Job Points Gift on THF increases the maximum possible value of Treasure Hunter to 14.
- Bounty Shot allows the initial application of TH2 (up to TH4 with Bounty Shot+2) and can also cause upgrades between TH levels with repeated usage.
- Upgrading TH levels from normal attack rounds is inversely proportional to the difference between your current TH level in trait/gear and the monster's current TH level[2].
- Example 1: If you plant TH6 on the monster by pulling with your TH gear on and then continue to use your TH gear while you kill the monster, there is a 0-level gap between your current TH level and the monster's current TH level. This makes it "easy" to proc (approximately a 6% chance per melee round).
- Example 2: If you plant TH6 on the monster by pulling with your TH gear on and then swap to TH3 to kill the monster, there is a 3-level gap between your current TH level and the monster's current TH level. This makes it comparatively more difficult to proc (approximately a 2% chance per melee round).
- There is a much greater chance of TH level upgrade from Sneak or Trick Attack (approximately 10x).
- This is multiplicative to the TH up bonus from Feint merits.
- Treasure Hunter can only proc on the first hit of an attack round.
- Attacks must do damage in order to potentially upgrade Treasure Hunter effectiveness. Hits for 0 do not count.
- Treasure Hunter can proc on the first hit of weaponskills, but will not display any message when it does.
Summary:
- Treasure Hunter I/II seem to offer a substantial bonus over no-Treasure Hunter, but Treasure Hunter >III is less potent.
- Treasure Hunter diminishing returns have been confirmed by Sicycre, Community Rep, on the Official Forums.
- Combining all the proc-system factors, TPing and SA/TAing in equipment with Treasure Hunter +1 will allow you to reach high TH levels much more rapidly (See References).
