Without question, the Pharaoh's Shovel and Pharaoh's Detector stand as the pinnacle of treasure hunting equipment.

The Hunt for Cursed Treasures

Equipping the Pharaoh's Detector gives you access to rare cursed items - though patience is key. With only a 5% discovery rate, these valuable artifacts won't come easily. But when you do find one, the payoff is massive. A standard chest might fetch 500 sheckels, while its cursed counterpart sells for a staggering 12,500!

Building Your Treasure Hunting Fortune

Preparing for the big purchase? You'll need 2 million sheckels for the detector and another 575,000 for the shovel. Focus your search around rainbow, red, and yellow spots near the pyramids for the most profitable finds. Pro tip: After locating one rainbow spot, thoroughly check the surrounding area - these valuable sites often cluster together.

Maximizing Your Profits

Before rushing to sell your discoveries, consider visiting Dusthaven's blacksmith. Smelting transforms ordinary finds into polished, shiny, or even golden versions that command premium prices. The top candidates for refinement include Sphynx statues, Fighting Jett figures, Pharaoh's Pillars, and Submarine artifacts.

Remember, while the smelting process can take up to 12 hours for rare items, it continues progressing even when you're offline. With these strategies, you'll amass your fortune faster than you ever imagined!
