i have just gotten a new skull sceptre (my 6th one obtained since is it came out), and i have just found some good uses for that almost useless sceptre:

 

 

 

1). Pking- This is probably one of the best uses for it. It'll save you some inventory space allowing you to carry more food/items, and it'll teleport you in between edgeville and varrock. U'd need to get tons of the pieces though to serve any real effect in pking though.

 

 

 

2) Probably the Most Obvious- Showing off-most people under lvl50 don't have one, making it a bit good if you want to make them jealous.

 

 

 

3) High lvl Combat Training- it'll save you a bit of time if your going to the bank to get good food, plus if you train on the monsters in there, u'll be able to get the pieces fairly easily making it easy to replace.

 

 

 

4) Clan Games/Standards-if you've got a clan who needs to have a minimum requirement, skull sceptre would fit it. It'd be a true test to see which people are the right fit.

 

 

 

Feel free to rate this, or add other uses for the skull sceptre.

Points 2) and 4) are plain ridiculous. The main purpose of it is only for quick access to edgeville and not run from varrock west bank. Other than that, mainly useless item.

Works very well at the wilderness coal mine - probably the only one, actually, where holding a 1 space teleport is worth it's weight in coal.

 

 

 

I have one sceptre, a dozen parts sets, and have never actually engaged teleport - despite the extras, I tend not to carry it if I'm crossing the level 20 line. I usually 3 item + junk instead.
