Treasure Hunter (TH), also known as Dagger Hunter, is one of the most versatile dagger classes in Lineage 2 Interlude. Compared to Abyss Walker or Plains Walker, TH is easier to learn while remaining highly effective in PvP. This guide focuses primarily on Interlude PvP servers, although many of the principles also apply to later chronicles up to Gracia.
Treasure Hunter Overview
Treasure Hunter excels in mobility, burst damage, and solo PvP. While the class is rarely chosen for epic boss farming or organized clan parties, it shines in open-world combat, where experienced players can eliminate multiple opponents before escaping safely.
Recommended Equipment
For A-grade equipment, Tallum Heavy is the preferred all-purpose armor set thanks to its excellent attack speed and solid physical defense. Optional alternatives include Nightmare Light for resistance against Sleep and Root, Dark Crystal Light for Paralysis resistance, and Majestic sets for additional Stun resistance.
For S-grade, Imperial Crusader Heavy serves as the primary armor, offering outstanding survivability. Draconic Leather performs well against archers and mages, while Arcana Robe can be used situationally for increased movement speed.
The recommended weapon is Angel Slayer with Haste. Haste reduces physical skill cooldowns, making it the strongest Special Ability for PvP. A Draconic Bow is also useful as a secondary weapon in certain situations.
Jewelry
Aim to obtain Raid Boss accessories in the following order:
Queen Ant Ring
Baium Ring
Princess Earring
Zaken Earring
Antharas Earring
These accessories significantly improve critical damage, skill cooldowns, and important resistances.
Tattoos
The standard PvP tattoo setup is:
+5 CON
+4 DEX
-9 STR
This configuration increases survivability, movement speed, attack speed, and evasion while sacrificing very little practical damage.
Life Stones
Highly desirable Life Stone effects include:
Passive Duel Might
Passive Haste
Passive Refresh
Passive Clarity
Celestial Shield
Active Shield or Barrier
Refresh and Celestial are especially valuable during PvP.
Core Skills
Treasure Hunter relies heavily on proper skill usage rather than auto attacks.
Important skills include:
Dash for constant mobility.
Backstab as the primary damage skill, always used from behind.
Bluff to turn the opponent around and create opportunities for Backstab.
Lethal Blow for finishing heavily armored enemies.
Critical Blow to increase the chance of Lethal effects.
Ultimate Evasion against archers and other physical attackers.
Mirage for breaking enemy target lock.
Fake Death for escaping or creating surprise attacks.
Bleed to apply constant damage during extended fights.
Avoid relying on Mortal Blow, Veil, or low-level Stun Shot in PvP, as they provide little value compared to your core abilities.
Buff Setup
Essential buffs include:
Wind Walk
Haste
Shield
Mental Shield
Bless the Body
Whisper
Focus Power
Dance of Warrior
Dance of Fire
Song of Hunter
Song of Wind
Song of Earth
Blessing of Queen
Chant of Victory (if available)
Important resist buffs include Shock Resistance, Divine Protection, Arcane Protection, Water Guard, and Wind Guard.
Avoid Berserker Spirit and Vampiric Rage, as they provide limited benefit to a skill-based Treasure Hunter while reducing survivability.
Useful Macros
Macros greatly improve gameplay efficiency by allowing instant:
Armor set swapping
CP and HP potion usage
Assist targeting
Noblesse Blessing activation
Fast equipment switching is especially valuable when adapting to different opponents during PvP.
PvP Tips
Treasure Hunter is strongest when constantly moving and attacking from behind. Bluff should be used to expose the enemy's back, followed immediately by Backstab and Critical Blow combinations. Minimize auto attacks, as they can interrupt Bluff's effect and reduce overall efficiency.
Against physical classes, activate Ultimate Evasion to maximize survivability. Against highly defensive opponents, rely on Lethal Blow to bypass their durability.
Practice movement, positioning, and timing rather than relying solely on equipment. A skilled Treasure Hunter can defeat multiple opponents through superior mobility and proper skill execution.
Conclusion
Treasure Hunter remains one of the most rewarding solo PvP classes in Lineage 2 Interlude. With the right equipment, buffs, macros, and mastery of positioning, the class is capable of defeating opponents far stronger on paper. Success depends less on raw gear and more on understanding skill mechanics, maintaining mobility, and executing precise attacks from behind.
