  1. ^ The listed rarity is an approximation at 150 raid level.
  2. ^ The listed rate is the cumulative rate from fully completing one run of Pyramid Plunder at 91 Thieving. See Pyramid Plunder#Sceptre for more information.
  3. ^ To receive the Venator vestige, the player must roll an invisible 1/256 drop on the tradeable unique table. The first two rolls will cause a standard, non-unique drop to appear and increment a hidden variable; when the third such roll occurs, the vestige is dropped and the variable is reset.
  4. ^ In contrast to the main game, during leagues every Desert Treasure II boss will drop all pieces of the Soulreaper axe. Players will not receive duplicate pieces of the axe until a full one has been created.
