The Ultimate Treasure Hunting Setup
While any standard shovel and detector can help you get started in Desert Detectors, true treasure hunters know premium equipment makes all the difference. The Pharaoh Detector and Shovel stand far above the rest - but they don't come cheap.
Why Pharaoh Gear Reigns Supreme
These legendary tools offer more than just impressive stats. The detector's exclusive 5% chance to uncover cursed treasures and the shovel's enhanced vision ability create an unmatched treasure-hunting combo.
- Exceptional digging speed and power
- Boosts Pharaoh's Vision effectiveness by 5%
- Superior scanning range and speed
- 5% chance to locate rare cursed treasures
The Path to Pyramid Riches
Your journey begins west of spawn at the pyramids, where a special merchant sells these coveted tools. Here's what you need to know about the investment:
- Pharaoh Detector: 2,000,000 Sheckles
- Pharaoh Shovel: 575,000 Sheckles
Cursed Treasure Hunting Tips
While uncommon (appearing in only about 1 in 20 scans), cursed treasures offer massive payouts - some worth 25x their regular counterparts. Focus your searches around rainbow spots near the pyramids for the best chances.
Efficient Sheckle Farming Strategies
Building your treasure hunting fortune requires smart digging tactics:
- Prioritize rainbow-colored dig spots
- Expand searches outward from productive holes
- Always check the plains behind pyramids
- Upgrade finds at the blacksmith before selling
Maximizing Value Through Smelting
The Dusthaven blacksmith can transform ordinary treasures into premium variants:
| Treasure Type | Processing Time | Value Increase |
|---|---|---|
| Sphynx Statues | 4-12 hours | 300-500% |
| Pharaoh's Pillars | 4-12 hours | 250-400% |
Remember: Smelting continues progressing even when you're offline, so queue up valuable items before logging out.
