Final Fantasy Tactics Treasure Hunter

Treasure Hunter is a movement ability in Final Fantasy Tactics and in The Ivalice Chronicles. Chemists learn it. It is not a job, and it is not the mobile survival game.

The Chemist learns Treasure Hunter for 100 JP. When the unit moves onto a tile, the ability can reveal a buried item. Chemists also have a higher chance at the rarer finds. Other jobs can equip the ability once it is learned, which is why a Thief or a Knight shows up in the party-building threads.

The trophy Finders Keepers is tied to digging up a buried item in battle. That is the modern-platform reason the ability is searched again after The Ivalice Chronicles.

People ask what makes the ability 'better' in the remaster. The mechanical text I can stand behind is the same: move, reveal, Chemist bias for rare items. A separate claim that a hidden item's level changed in the remaster is not sourced, so it is not a bullet on this page.

If you wanted Final Fantasy XI's drop-rate trait, that is a different ability with the same English name. The XI page is linked below. If you wanted a weapon tier list for a phone game, that is Mega Combat's title and it does not use this JP system.
