Getting Cursed Treasures With Pharoh Detector

Cursed Items have increased value

The Pharaoh Detector unlocks access to Cursed Treasures. Keep in mind, the 5% chance of finding them means you’ll need some patience. Cursed Treasures sell for significantly more than regular finds (e.g., a Cursed Chest is worth 12,500 Sheckles compared to a regular chest's 500). Rainbow spots offer the highest-value treasures, making them prime targets.

How to Farm Sheckles for Pharoh Detector and Shovel

Pyramids are a great spot to find high-value treasures

The Pharaoh set's high price (2,000,000 Sheckles for the detector and 575,000 for the shovel) requires dedicated farming. Focus on Rainbow, Red, and Yellow spots around the Pyramids and the Plains behind them. These areas yield more valuable treasures. Prioritize Rainbow spots; subsequent valuable spots are often nearby, so thoroughly check areas after each dig.

How to Smelt Found Treasures

The Blacksmith in Dusthaven houses the Smelter NPC. Smelting upgrades treasures to Polished, Shiny, or Gold variants, significantly increasing their value. Prioritize smelting Sphynx, Fighting Jett, Pharaoh’s Pillar, or Submarine for the best returns. Smelting takes 4-12 hours, and progresses even while offline.
