Optimal Shovel and Detector Combination

The undisputed best equipment combination consists of the Pharaoh Shovel and Pharaoh Detector. These premium tools boast superior statistics along with valuable passive effects that significantly enhance treasure hunting capabilities. Both items are available exclusively at the Pyramid merchant, accessible by traveling west from the spawn location.

Unlocking Cursed Treasures With Pharaoh Equipment

The Pharaoh Detector's unique feature enables discovery of rare cursed artifacts, though the 5% occurrence rate demands patience. These special finds command premium prices - while standard chests sell for 500 Sheckles, their cursed counterparts fetch 12,500 Sheckles. For maximum efficiency, prioritize searching rainbow-colored hotspots where these valuable items most frequently appear.

Efficient Sheckle Farming Methods

Premium equipment comes at a steep price - 2,000,000 Sheckles for the detector and 575,000 for the shovel. To accumulate these funds efficiently, focus on rainbow, red, and yellow hotspots near the pyramids or surrounding plains. These zones contain more valuable artifacts than standard areas. Rainbow spots tend to cluster together, so thoroughly explore nearby areas after locating one.

Before selling your finds, consider refining them through smelting. Upgrading artifacts to polished, shiny, or golden variants can multiply their market value substantially.

Treasure Refining Process Guide

The blacksmith in Dusthaven (spawn area) provides artifact refinement services. Prioritize upgrading premium finds like Sphynx statues, Fighting Jett figures, Pharaoh's Pillars, or Submarine models as they yield the highest returns. Note that smelting requires 4-12 hours depending on item rarity, with the process continuing even when offline.
