Top Shovel and Detector Pair in Desert Detectors

The top-tier tools in Desert Detectors are the Pharoh Shovel and Pharoh Detector. Their superior stats and powerful Passive Abilities, especially the Pharoh Detector’s, make them unbeatable. You can find both at the Pyramids. Check the compass at the top of your screen and head west from spawn to locate them.

Unearthing Cursed Treasures with Pharoh Detector

With the Pharoh Detector, you can uncover Cursed Treasures. Be prepared for a challenge, as the detector only has a 5% chance of finding them. You may need to dig extensively before discovering your first Cursed Treasure.

Cursed Treasures fetch higher prices than standard ones. For instance, a regular chest sells for 500 Sheckles, while a Cursed Chest commands 12,500 Sheckles. Aim for a Cursed Treasure on a Rainbow Spot for maximum value.

Earning Sheckles for Pharoh Detector and Shovel

The Pharoh Detector and Shovel are top-notch for a reason, reflected in their steep prices: 2,000,000 Sheckles for the Detector and 575,000 Sheckles for the Shovel.

Accumulating that amount takes time. To speed things up, target Rainbow, Red, and Yellow spots at the Pyramids or the Plains behind them. These areas yield unique, high-value treasures.

There’s no foolproof method to locate these spots, but prioritize finding a Rainbow spot first. After discovering one, check nearby areas, as another may be close to previously dug holes.

Once you’ve collected rare treasures, consider smelting them at the Blacksmith before selling. Smelting upgrades treasures to Polished, Shiny, or Gold variants, significantly increasing their sale value.

Smelting Your Discovered Treasures

Visit the Blacksmith Building in Dusthaven, your spawn area, to find an NPC who can smelt your treasures. Ensure you’re holding the treasures you wish to smelt. We recommend smelting Sphynx, Fighting Jett, Pharoh’s Pillar, or Submarine for their high sale prices.

Retrieve your treasures after smelting, which may take 4-12 hours depending on rarity. The process continues even when you’re offline.
