We're back with the first Character Build Showcase of the new year, and something of special treat
The featured build is The Treasure Hunter by beancounter - but we have the bonus of a fantastic video from TZ to complement the text. Here is the video:
New guy Ben introduces the build for us
The name says it all. The Treasure Hunter has one goal, get rich or die trying. This isn't your usual overpowered combat specialist. The Treasure Hunter has a unique gameplay style with his sneaky assassinations and shield bashing combat tactics. He often uses a torch to both block and set the enemy on fire to increase melee damage.
This build is one of the few that uses no crafting but never has a shortage of gold. Expect to spend all of your time looting dungeons, not bent over a crafting bench.
And a bit of introduction from beancounter
Part Thief and part warrior the treasure hunter seeks his fortune adventuring. Whether searching for buried treasure in an undead infested crypt or hunting down a rare magical artifact the Treasure Hunter will always find an incredible amount of loot.
For the Treasure Hunter, nothing is more exciting than finding the motherload! Some characters seek power. Some seek fame. But the treasure hunter seeks gold, gems, jewels and magical items!
We all know the most powerful items in Skyrim are crafted. And we all know the easiest way to get rich is to craft. Grind out tons of potions or enchanted magic daggers. However, that is not very rewarding, exciting or fun. This Treasure Hunter has no crafting skills to grind.
This character is built around finding the most loot possible. He should be out and about exploring, questing and looting!
Looks like a cool build - I might give this one a spin myself! And big thanks to TZ for the video too...

Torch bashes will do the same amount of damage regardless.
1 torch bash: 1.68 damage
5 consecutive torch bashes: 8.4 damage (1.68 per hit)
