Unlocking Cursed Treasures
The Pharaoh Detector's most prized feature is its ability to detect Cursed Treasures. However, with only a 5% discovery rate, patience is essential. The payoff is worthwhile - while standard chests sell for 500 Sheckles, their cursed counterparts fetch 12,500. Rainbow Spots offer the best chances for these premium finds.
Earning Sheckles for Pharaoh Gear
Premium equipment comes at premium prices - 2,000,000 Sheckles for the Detector and 575,000 for the Shovel. Focus your search around the Pyramids and adjacent Plains for Rainbow, Red, and Yellow spots. These contain higher-value treasures than standard dig sites.
Pro Tip: Rainbow spots often cluster together. After finding one, thoroughly scan the surrounding area before moving on.
Before selling: Consider smelting valuable finds at the Blacksmith. Transforming items into Polished, Shiny, or Gold variants dramatically increases their market value.
Treasure Refinement Guide
Optimal smelting candidates: Prioritize Sphynx artifacts, Fighting Jett figurines, Pharaoh's Pillars, and Submarine relics for maximum profit. Processing continues offline, with completion times ranging from 4-12 hours depending on item rarity.
With these strategies, you'll soon afford the ultimate treasure-hunting gear. For additional bonuses, check our Desert Detectors promo codes page.
