The Sceptre of the gods is an item that may be received when playing Pyramid Plunder. It can be obtained by looting the engraved sarcophagus in the 8th room of Pyramid Plunder, which requires 91 Thieving and 75 Runecrafting. The sceptre requires 30 Attack and 30 Magic to wield, and only provides boosts when wielded.

It teleports to the same locations as the pharaoh's sceptre but has 10 charges of teleports when fully charged as opposed to the 3 (or 6 after Desert hard tasks) charges offered by the pharaoh's sceptre. If the hard Desert Tasks have been completed, the sceptre will offer 20 charges instead of 10.

In addition, when wielding this sceptre in Pyramid Plunder, you are given the following benefits:

• A total of four new urns will be available in the last two rooms which provide a higher chance of obtaining better loot. One by door in room 7 and second east of exit door past trap. In room 8, both are beside door after entering.
• There is an increased chance of obtaining the Black Ibis outfit pieces.

TeleportsEdit

The sceptre will offer up to 10 (20) teleports to:

• Jalsavrah - the Pyramid Plunder activity.
• Jaleustrophos - the Agility Pyramid, next to Simon Templeton.
• Jaldraocht - Azzanadra's pyramid in Desert Treasure which is convenient for switching to Ancient Magicks.

When there are no teleports left, the sceptre can be recharged, thereby charging it with 10 (20) more teleports, by speaking to the Guardian mummy in the Pyramid Plunder pyramid. It is recharged in the same way as the pharaoh's sceptre. The mummy will recharge it in exchange for any of the following reward items from the activity:

• 1 Jewelled diamond statuette (worth 12.5k with Simon Templeton)
• 1 Jewelled golden statuette and 4 Gold Artefacts (worth 10.5k-12.5k with Simon Templeton)
• 10 Gold ornaments (seal, scarab, and statuette) (worth 7.5k-12.5k coins with Simon Templeton)
• 20 Stone ornaments (seal, scarab, and statuette) (worth 3k-4k coins)

Note: With the Jewelled diamond statuette it is not required to speak to the Guardian Mummy, the item can be used on the sceptre to recharge it.

Recharging TableEdit

The following table shows the total cost of recharging the Sceptre of the gods by buying ornaments from Grand Exchange. This table assumes you recharge your sceptre with only one type of ornament.

TriviaEdit

• When the Sceptre is looted it appears in the adventure log. It says "Whilst plundering the pyramids, I looted the Sceptre of the Gods."
• It's not possible to wield the sceptre without having 91 Thieving as boosts are not possible.
• The top of the Sceptre of the Gods resembles an Ibis head (to match the Black Ibis clothing).
• The sceptre used to be a two-handed weapon like the Pharaoh's sceptre, but it was changed to a one-handed weapon on 31 August 2011 because of complaints that players could not wield the anti-poison totem while plundering for the black ibis outfit.
• It's not possible to obtain more than one sceptre of the gods.
• Upon finding a Sceptre of the Gods, if your inventory was full, it would have been destroyed. This was a glitch and has been fixed. Since the patch it now appears outside on the ground.
• The odds of obtaining this item are estimated to be 1:500.
• There is currently a glitch with two of the four additional urns when under the effect of this item. See Pyramid Plunder for more information.
