Getting Cursed Treasures With Pharoh Detector

Once you’ve equipped the Pharoh Detector, you gain the ability to uncover Cursed Treasures. However, keep in mind that the chance is relatively low—only 5%—so it might take some time before you stumble upon one.

Despite the rarity, Cursed Treasures are significantly more valuable than standard ones. For example, while a regular chest sells for around 500 Sheckles, a Cursed Chest fetches up to 12,500 Sheckles. If you're lucky enough to hit a Rainbow Spot, you’ll get the most out of these rare finds.

The Pharoh Detector and Shovel are among the most expensive tools in Desert Detectors, costing a total of 2,575,000 Sheckles combined (2 million for the detector and 575 thousand for the shovel). To speed up your currency collection, focus on digging at Rainbow, Red, and Yellow spots located around the Pyramids or the nearby Plains.

These areas tend to yield higher-value treasures compared to other zones. Start by searching for a Rainbow Spot, as subsequent rare spots often appear nearby. Always double-check areas where you've already dug to increase your chances of finding another rare spot close by.

Before selling your loot, consider smelting some of the treasures at the Blacksmith. This process upgrades them into rarer variants like Polished, Shiny, or even Gold, which sell for a much higher price.

How to Smelt Found Treasures

To smelt your treasures, visit the Blacksmith Building in Dusthaven, the starting zone. Inside, you'll find an NPC who can handle the smelting process. Be sure to carry the treasures you wish to upgrade.

We recommend smelting high-value items such as Sphynx, Fighting Jett, Pharoh’s Pillar, or Submarine, as they provide the best return on investment after being upgraded.
