Uncovering Cursed Treasures with the Pharaoh Detector

The Pharaoh Detector's 5% chance to unearth Cursed Treasures might seem low, but the rewards are substantial. Cursed Treasures sell for significantly more than regular finds (e.g., a Cursed Chest fetches 12,500 Sheckles compared to a regular chest's 500). Rainbow spots offer the highest-value treasures, making them prime targets.

Farming Sheckles for the Pharaoh Detector and Shovel

The Pharaoh set's hefty price tag (2,000,000 Sheckles for the Detector and 575,000 for the Shovel) demands a dedicated farming strategy. Focus on Rainbow, Red, and Yellow spots around the Pyramids and the plains behind them. These areas yield more valuable treasures. Prioritize Rainbow spots; finding one often increases your chances of finding others nearby. Remember to thoroughly check areas around previously dug holes.

Before selling your treasures, consider smelting them at the Blacksmith. This can upgrade them to Polished, Shiny, or Gold variants, dramatically increasing their value. Sphynx, Fighting Jett, Pharaoh's Pillar, and Submarine treasures offer the highest potential returns.

Smelting Your Treasures

Find the Blacksmith building in Dusthaven (your spawn area). Inside, you'll find the NPC who can smelt your treasures. The process takes 4-12 hours depending on the item's rarity and continues even while you're offline.
