[edit] Definition

One frequent task is to hunt for buried treasure on a specific island. You can identify possible dig spots as a green circle appears if your pirate is very close to one. There are numerous dig spots on each island and in each area. You can only dig at an actual dig spot.

Once you find a dig spot (green circle) use the Shift key to make your pirate "dig" in hope of finding a quest item. If there is something to be found, the pirate will then begin to dig and a chest will emerge from the hole.

If the quest is found, it will immediately update your Quest Journal and may add to your inventory (like found gold).

• During this time of digging, which can take a few seconds, you are VULNERABLE to attack! If you are attacked, the pirate will stop digging immediately.

Often a message "Nothing of interest here" will appear, in which case there is no point trying that spot again. Other times, after the animation of your pirate's digging, you get the message "No quest items found." Digging again in that spot, even digging there again immediately, will often produce the desired quest item.

[edit] Game Note

The spots listed below are not complete and may change. If you find a dig spot that is not listed or moved, please feel free to add or edit it. If you're looking for multiple things like sword upgrade quest, then you can wait a minute and the spot will reappear
