1.0 - Introduction
After thousands of years of having to run after tomb raiders to retrieve stolen gold, an ancient guardian mummy has recently opened a pyramid in Sophanem for brave adventurers to plunder. Ridden with traps, this pyramid is very dangerous, but may also provide great rewards. A select few may even find an ancient sceptre that allows one to teleport to the three great Pyramids of the Kharidian desert!
The pyramid is located in Sophanem. To get to Sophanem make your way through the Shantay Pass and walk south to Sophanem or use Ali Morrisane's flying carpet to fly to Pollnivneach and then to Sophanem for a fee of 200 coins, unless you have your Ring of Charos (a) to reduce the cost of magic carpet rides . If you decide to walk all the way, it is recommended to bring the right supplies with you: desert clothes and a waterskin.
Note: This is a dangerous mini game, You will lose your items if you die.
2.0 - Requirements and recommendations
Requirements:

• 21 Thieving
• Must have started Icthlarin's Little Helper

Recommendations:

• Completion of Contact! for the bank
• Completion of The Feud and Rogue Trader mini-quest for cheaper travels
• Completion of The Great Brain Robbery quest for the prayer book
• Must have started Garden of Tranquility, for access to the Ring of Charos (a) to reduce the cost of magic carpet rides
• Completion of the Dealing with Scabaras quest for faster money from rewards

The following inventory is useful for higher level thieves and you may need more or less food than pictured; the more you take, the longer you will last, but the less you can carry. The anti-poison potions are not necessary if you have completed The Great Brain Robbery quest and use a Holy Symbol and the prayer book to cure poison by reciting the prayer. This takes one prayer point, which can be recharged at the altar south-west of the pyramid. You should experiment to see what works best for you.
A fair amount of anti-poison potions, and a few portions of decent food. Two 4-dose super anti-poison potions do well and they last you at least 8 runs. Best food is monkfish, as it's not that expensive and heals a lot. Take 2 super anti-poison potions 4 dose and 24 monkfish, this is the most effective inventory. Also, lockpicks may prove useful for picking the locks on the doors between chambers but will only decrease the experience you get out of doors, so don't take one.
Completing the quest Contact! will give you access to a bank a few steps from the pyramid. This is necessary for faster times of banking and preparing for the next round. Consider taking a knife and waterskin if you want to sell your loot to Simon Templeton immediately after finishing a round of looting. Don't take armour, as it'll just slow you down.
If you have reached a certain stage in Dealing with Scabaras, and talked to the Guardian Mummy, you will be able to sell Simon Templeton noted artifacts from the pyramid. This is highly recommended as you can make one trip instead of several.


3.0 - Getting started

Once you have your gear ready, go to Sophanem. The Pyramid has four doors but only one leads to the Guardian Mummy who will be standing in the centre of the chamber. Speak to the guardian mummy to learn how the game works; then right-click on him to enter the game.
Once you enter the pyramid, you will see a speartrap found in the hallway leading from the doorway you came through to the rest of the tomb. Click on the wall to try and disarm the trap. You may not be successful and take some damage, but there is no poison on the spears.


4.0 - How to Play
In the pyramid, there are 8 rooms in total, in increments of 10 required thieving levels. The first room requires level 21; the last takes level 91 thieving to enter. Each room has several urns, a chest and a sarcophagus for you to loot. Search the urns, never check the snakes, as that is a waste of experience.
The chest may contain poisonous scarabs (lvl 98), and the sarcophagus may hold a powerful mummy (lvl 84). Therefore, don't bother opening the sarcophagus at all, and only open the gold chest right before you're about to leave a room.

Even though scarabs hit multiple hits in a short time, they are not too accurate. Using a prayer against melee attacks is recommended as prayer can be recharged at the alter to the southwest of the pyramid. Scarabs are capable of hitting you if your defence is low or if you are not wearing any armour. Be sure to only open the chest directly before leaving that room.

You will have 5 minutes to loot the pyramid. You can see which room you are in and how much time you have left by looking at either the time bar or hourglass. Once your five minutes are up you will be transported outside the Pyramid.
5.0 - Strategy
Once you get an easy to follow strategy down for Pyramid Plunder, you'll find that the experience just starts rolling in. First off, it's really best to only do two rooms. In those two rooms, it is suggested that you search all the urns. Just skipping checking for snakes and charming them. If you fail try again. If you keep failing, you may move on, as this can be aggravating.
For instance if you are 75 thieving, do the level 61 room and the level 71 room. In the 21, 31, 41 and 51 rooms, open up the gold chest and then pick the locks on the doors until you get to the room desired. As you go on to higher levels the artifacts that you can receive become better. In the beginning you will find mostly pottery artifacts and ivory combs but as you continue on you will find stone items and and then gold.
It is always best to bring a full inventory of sharks for the fastest experience, but that can be costly, so if you are trying to save cash, it's fine to stick with lobsters or monkfish. If you are power training, just drop all the artifacts, as this will save a bunch of time. However, always keep a Pharaoh Spectre if you get one. They can sell for lots of cash to other players. You could even use it to get back to the pyramid faster after re-loading your inventory.

You receive 10 thieving exp when you disable the spear trap in front of each room. The rewards from the mini game are a variety of items you can sell to Simon Templeton, who is located at the Agility Pyramid. The better the item, the more money you'll get for it. The major item you can steal is a King's Sceptre, which, when charged, can teleport you to the three major pyramids in the desert. Of course, you will also get thieving experience for successfully looting the urns, chest and sarcophagus. It's a nice change from pick-pocketing NPCs, though it is more dangerous and the overall rewards are not so great.
To get the best money out of the items you loot, after each run, dump the lowest money giver you found and keep the highest, and continue doing runs until you either run out of food, anti-poison potions or your inventory is full of the best items you can get. Then sell those items to Simon Templeton.

It is suggested that you only thieve the chests and sarcophagi when you are about to leave the rooms as there is a chance monsters will appear and attack you. There is a better chance of getting it in higher level rooms, although you can get it in the lower level rooms as well.
What's so special about this King's Sceptre you may ask? Well, besides looking pretty, it will allow you to teleport to any of the 3 major pyramids in the desert: Jaleustrophos, which is the Agility Pyramid; Jaldraocht, which is Azzanadra's Pyramid; and Jalsavrah: the Pyramid Plunder Pyramid. The sceptre only has 3 charges; after you consume them all, you will need to get some more artifacts and give them to the guardian mummy to recharge it. To recharge the Sceptre you will need either 24 pottery/ivory artifacts, 12 stone artifacts or 6 gold artifacts. The sceptre is handy for selling your artefacts to Simon Templeton, who is located at the Agility Pyramid.

From 80-90 Thieving you can get up to an average of 230k per hour by blackjacking Menaphite Thugs while you can only get an average of 160k per hour using Pyramid Plunder at those levels.

At level 90+ thieving you can even get up to 260k per hour by blackjacking Menaphite Thugs if you do it very well.

Therefore, below level 91, the best experience is by blackjacking Menaphite Thugs.

At level 91 and above, Pyramid Plunder and blackjacking are approximately the same, although blackjacking is a tiny bit faster.

Took you ages to rip. But Zybez has a guide on Pyrmid plunder, I havn't found one on blackjacking yet, since so few people actually do it. And since I did it, I can totally say that there's much better xp that way.

Just making sure you read that again, JackBuddy.

[Laggings]

First off, you fail at stealing things. Right click on the image and it's from zybez. The links are to zybez. Stop lying and trying to sound more important than you actually are.
Second, you stated you can get 250K xp and hour at pyramid plunder, and MJJ stated you can get 260K an hour at blackjacking. You got owned, you were proved wrong, and that's why you don't want to post anymore.

This is where you continued to say you wrote it. This bypasses sarcasm.

This was sarcasm. It could have ended here, when you were proved wrong.

Look, stop trying to be a smart ass and stop needlessly posting at every single opportunity. You've made over 60 posts today alone and if you want a higher post count then I suggest the forum games section. Stop starting arguments too.

I'm not dumb enough to think that I could get away with copying that guide. If you have been in this forum long enough you would know that the people in here are generally quiet sarcastic and jokey about things as we are all familiar with eachother. We don't need people like you runining it for everyone.
