It is one of the relatively few free-to-play teleport items, the others being the tele-orb from Fist of Guthix (available only during the activity), the level 3 or 4 Explorer's ring collected as a reward for completing the medium or hard Lumbridge and Draynor Tasks, the Clan Vexillum, the Ring of Kinship, the Runecrafting Teleport Tablets, and the Broomstick, able to be attained by F2Ps Free Runescape bots , has the potential to teleport, but only on a member's world. Using the Skull sceptre's teleport is a requirement for the Varrock Tasks.
Players can only make and keep one skull sceptre at a time - a new Skull sceptre can only be made once the old Skull sceptre is either lost, destroyed, or has disappeared. There is no limit to how many Strange skulls or Runed sceptres a player can own. The Skull sceptre and all its parts cannot be traded or be withdrawn as noted items from the bank.
Note that the skull sceptre does not appear in gravestone on death. The individual parts of it do, however.
Parts of the sceptre are rare from the monsters that drop them. Also killing the highest level ones helps. In addition, wearing Varrock Armour 1 as well as a Ring of Wealth along with the above gives increased chance of receiving a sceptre part drop.
The pieces of the skull sceptre are Left skull half, Top of sceptre, Bottom of sceptre, and Right skull half. Ankous, Catablepons, Flesh Crawlers, and Minotaurs drop the pieces respectively.
- Using the skull pieces together forms a Strange skull.
- Using the top and bottom Skull sceptre pieces form a Runed sceptre.
- Join the Strange skull and the Runed sceptre together to form a Skull sceptre.
Where to find the pieces
- Right skull half - Minotaurs ( level 12-27 ) on the first floor of the security stronghold (easy to kill)
- Bottom of sceptre - Flesh Crawlers ( level 28-41 ) on the second floor of the security stronghold (easy to kill)
- Top of sceptre - Catablepons ( level 49-68 ) on the third floor of the security stronghold (hard to kill)
- Left skull half - Ankous ( level 75-86 ) on the fourth floor of the security stronghold (Dangerous to lower levels) (Salve amulet or Salve amulet(e) is recommended)
- Higher levels will find getting the skull sceptre an easy time, the kill rate for all of them depends on the levels.
