| “ | A member of decentralized criminal organization that has footprints all over the continent and even deep within unknown domains. Though they are called "marksmen", this name has an undercurrent of mockery to it, as they use crossbows instead of bows, which require a long period of training to use. It must be said that even hilichurls know how to operate a crossbow. Just point the wider end at the enemy, pull the trigger, and bam — that's all there is to it. |

They say that some Treasure Hoarder Potioneers used to be charlatans who would wander villages, towns, and cities, hawking their special blends of elixirs, holy waters, and the like. These cure-alls certainly seem to serve better in combat than they ever did in chicanery. |

Trivia[]
- When defeated, the Treasure Hoarders will crouch and drop smoke bombs before disappearing instead of fading into smaller particles. They are the only two of the human enemies that do not die in that way, the others being the Eremites.
- However as of Update 1.4, they will now sometimes ragdoll and disintegrate into smaller particles.
- At the character demo video of Tartaglia, there is a female Treasure Hoarder with an axe that can be briefly seen. This type was nowhere found in-game.
- However this variation only appeared at the close beta version of the game.
