Doing Pyramid Plunder and browsing the wiki I’ve noticed a few interesting facts. From the 30 August 2023 update: Sarcophagi will now roll the sceptre if players fail to open them. From the Sarcophagus wiki page: The chance to open the sarcophagus depends on your Strength level and the room level. Failing has no downside, other than needing to wait a few ticks until you can attempt again - you will automatically keep attempting to open it until successful. It is impossible for very low Strength levels to open the sarcophagus in the final rooms (level 1 in room 7, and levels 1-7 in room 8). Combining these facts, it seems there is an AFK method of obtaining the Pharaoh’s sceptre: Reach room 7 or 8 Brew your Strength down to 1 Click Sarcophagus and wait for your AFK 1/650 drop Rebrew when your strength exceeds the failure level for the room you are in On a test run, I reached room 7 with 3 minutes left. The sarcophagus search seems to be a 6 tick action which gave me 50 chances at a 1/650 drop which is effectively 1/14.02 for that run. Compared to the wiki strategy which yields roughly 1/69 per run, that is a huge improvement. Does anyone have any more information or confirmation that this works and is intended? submitted by /u/rdhambrick
