Antiquarian

"She searches where others will not go, and sees what others will not see."

The Antiquarian is one of the playable Character Classes in Darkest Dungeon. While she is little help in combat, she provides two unique services while accompanying an adventuring party. The first is she increases the amount of loot the party can carry in a stack, and the second is identifying valuable treasures that look common enough that the uneducated would dismiss as garbage.

Combat Skills
"A scholar, researcher, and keen archaeologist, The Antiquarian is not well suited for combat. She is, however, an expert in self-preservation - by making herself scarce in a fight, or demanding an ally protect her, she ensures her survival. If direct combat is unavoidable, The Antiquarian can use her fulminating censer to heal and invigorate allies...and to toxify attackers."

- The Guild

Camping Skills
"A researcher never rests! The Antiquarian surveys the campsite, obtaining supply items and even trinkets that the party may have overlooked. Her peculiar utterances and strange powders have been known to put minds at ease, and strengthen corporeal hardiness."

- Trainer

Weapons and Armor
"The Antiquarian wears no armor to speak of, instead relying on the power of the innumerable ancient charms and relics she has collected in her travels. Her eye for rarities is enhanced by the unsettling properties of her censer's vapours, which can offer some utility to the party in...problematic encounters."

- The Blacksmith

Customisation
As for every hero, the Antiquarian has four different colour palettes to choose from: red, purple, pink, and orange.
