An Antiquarian in the party increases the amount of gold you can carry in a stack by +750 gold, bringing the maximum from 1750 to 2500.Rare Antiques, being more expensive than their minor counterparts, are less likely to be dropped or looted.Antiques will only be looted from curios if the Antiquarian interacts with it.

She causes unique loot to drop from curios and battles Minor Antiques (worth 500 gold each and stack to 20) and Rare Antiques (worth 1250 each and stack to 5).

Most notably, the Antiquarian boasts a number of unique properties that can help a party earn gold on an adventure: However, she's an effective support class, being able to heal party members, increase the entire party's DODGE considerably, and deliver decent debuffs and blight, as well as use a 'reverse guard' which forces an ally to defend her while also giving them powerful defensive buffs.

In terms of direct combat, she is by far the weakest class in the game, with relatively weak (if at least usable) attacks leading to sub-par offensive performance, with her skills' scaling increasing more with later levels. The Antiquarian is one of the playable Character Classes in Darkest Dungeon. She searches where others will not go, and sees what others will not see.
