Best Shovel and Detector Combo in Desert Detectors
The undisputed champions of Desert Detectors are the Pharoh Shovel and Pharoh Detector. Their superior stats and valuable passive abilities make them essential for serious treasure hunters. You'll find them both at the Pyramids. Check your compass; they're west of the starting area.
| Item | Details |
|---|---|
 | • Extremely high Speed and Power stats • Passive Ability: 5% Increased effect of Pharoh’s Vision ability |
 | • High Speed and Range stats • Passive Ability: 5% chance to find Cursed Treasure |
Getting Cursed Treasures With Pharoh Detector
The Pharoh Detector's 5% chance of uncovering Cursed Treasures might seem low, but the rewards are substantial. Cursed Treasures sell for significantly more than regular finds (e.g., a Cursed Chest fetches 12,500 Sheckles compared to a regular chest's 500 Sheckles). Rainbow spots offer the most valuable treasures, including Cursed ones.
How to Farm Sheckles for Pharoh Detector and Shovel
The Pharoh Detector and Shovel cost a hefty 2,575,000 Sheckles combined. To amass this fortune, focus on Rainbow, Red, and Yellow spots, particularly around the Pyramids and the plains behind them. Prioritize Rainbow spots; finding one often increases your chances of discovering others nearby. Remember to thoroughly check areas around already-dug holes.
How to Smelt Found Treasures
Smelting treasures at the Blacksmith NPC in Dusthaven upgrades them to Polished, Shiny, or Gold variants, significantly increasing their selling price. Prioritize smelting Sphynx, Fighting Jett, Pharoh’s Pillar, or Submarine for maximum profit. Note that smelting takes 4-12 hours and continues even while offline.
