Simon Templeton

Simon Templeton is an unscrupulous archaeologist (treasure hunter) located in between the landslide and stairs up to the Agility Pyramid. The Pyramid is in the Kharidian desert, south of Nardah, and north-east of Sophanem. He may be related to the ancient warrior priest Derygull Templeton. If a player has completed Dealing with Scabaras, he will accept noted artefacts as a post-quest reward.

The quickest way to reach Simon Templeton is to use the Jaleustrophos teleport of the Pharaoh's sceptre (Jaleustrophos is the ancient name of the Agility Pyramid).

Always interested in valuable items, Simon will buy the gold pyramid retrieved by players who have completed the agility course in the Agility Pyramid for 1000 coins, as well as any items obtained during the Pyramid Plunder minigame in Sophanem.

The following table shows the price Simon pays for Pyramid Plunder rewards.
