UO Second Age

Hello all my fellow Treasure Hunters =)

I am currently building a treasure hunting character and need some advice as I have only ever done low level chests before.

Currently, this is my skills of choice:
1) Lockpicking
2) Cartography
3) Musicianship
4) Provocation
5) Magery
6) Meditation
7) ???

I have one slot left for another skill, can any experienced Treasure Hunters out there help me in choosing my skills and what I can expect as far as completeing level 3-5 maps?

I wanted to take up Archery or Fencing (To play a swashbuckler rogue type of T-Hunter) but my Dex would be low with this build that I am not sure how well it would work.

Suggestions?

I'm interested in the answer too.

What about "Remove Trap" Skill? Is it needed for a treasure hunter to remove any traps from chests in dungeons? are there any ways around it?

What is the best treasure hunter template?

Thank you

hiding, resist or eval or something else
i have hiding.

I was thinking hiding as well. Is it that effective for a T-Hunter? Do you just hide right away upon digging up a chest to lose aggro of monsters right away and plan your attack? Or how exactly do you use it effectively?

i mainly use this char for general pvm.
where i use hiding around corners etc all the time.

it can supply a good get away, i can hide and let mobs kill each other while i attend to something else for a minute etc etc.

and if it gets to heavy i can usually run for a bit and hide to stop them from targetting.

i just find it useful so i can be more relaxed when i pvm and i dont always have to watch the screen.

The spawns do not attack for a good 5 seconds, heck you can run off screen before they aggro you to be honest. I went hiding but I am seriously thinking about going resist beings I hardly ever hide, and if I do the spell is much more effective for me.

I went resist for less dmg from pkers and monsters I use invisibility when I need to hide.

Eval int ofcourse.
When your doing a spawn, i find it much eaiser with eval. Cause of blasting the dieing mobs.
I would anytime perfer eval over hiding/resist at t-hunting.
But for a bard, only farming money in destard etc. hiding is a must i would say.
