Pharaoh's sceptre

The pharaoh's sceptre is a rare staff found during the Pyramid Plunder minigame in Sophanem. It requires 30 Attack and 30 Magic to wield. This can be used to teleport to the three pyramids found in the desert, and by default, it can have up to three charges. Players who complete the Desert Diary can have the sceptre hold up to eight charges.

Teleporting by using this sceptre works up to level 30 in the Wilderness. When it's out of charges, talk to the guardian mummy inside the Pyramid Plunder pyramid, and give it either six gold artefacts, 12 stone artefacts or 24 pottery/ivory artefacts to recharge it.

The chance of receiving a Pharaoh's Sceptre (1/1,000 if you don't find a swarm or mummy) is the same for the chest and sarcophagi in all rooms, however the higher rooms have a lower chance of finding a swarm or mummy. After being found, you will immediately be kicked from the pyramid by the guardian mummy. If you have no free inventory spaces, the staff will appear under you outside the pyramid. If you receive a sceptre and it appears beneath you, make sure you pick it up within 15 seconds or it will disappear.

With the new Player Owned Houses update, the sceptre was required to make an Occult Altar in ones own POH. This in turn caused the sceptre to be in extremely high demand, giving it a significant price boost.

Locations
The sceptre can be used to teleport to the following pyramids:
 * Jalsavrah - the Pyramid Plunder minigame, inside Sophanem, where you can recharge with artefacts.
 * Jaleustrophos - the Agility Pyramid, North-East of Sophanem, next to Simon Templeton.
 * Jaldraocht - Azzanadra's pyramid in Desert Treasure which is used for switching to Ancient Magicks.

Recharging
It is recommended that players use two charges, and teleport to Pyramid plunder to recharge if needed, saving time. When the sceptre's charges are used, it may be recharged by using it on the Guardian mummy in the Pyramid Plunder minigame, with appropriate artefacts in the inventory. He will complain about the player owning it, but will go ahead and recharge it anyway. The items used to recharge the staff must be unnoted.

If players have multiple types of rewards in their inventory, i.e. stone seals, and stone scarabs, and they select to recharge, the mummy will take the items with the lowest value first (of the selected category).
