Digging


That's not true. I am not obsessed with treasure.
 

Definition[]

Dig Spot

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

Once you find a dig spot, use the Shift key in order 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 a quest item is found, your Quest Journal will immediately be updated. You can plunder any where from 7 to 13 gold in a buried treasure chest from a dig spot.

Often a message stating "Nothing of interest here" will appear, in which case there is no point trying that spot again. Other times, after a short animation of your pirate's digging, you receive the message "No quest items found". Digging again in that spot or even digging there again immediately, will often produce the desired quest item. Remember you can only search for treasure if you have a quest to do so.

Game Note[]

During this time of digging, which can take a few seconds, you are VULNERABLE to attack by enemies! If you are attacked, the pirate will stop digging immediately. If you are digging in a fort or on Kingshead, the closest navy guard will approach you and begin attacking.

Also, the dig 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 so it is up to date. If you are looking for multiple quest items, such as in any of the weapon upgrade quests, then you can wait a minute and the dig spot will reappear.

Spots were not originally represented by an "X" on a patch of dirt and you had to locate them yourself. This was most likely done to help players locate the hidden sites much easier. Some dig spots are the color of the surrounding grass, but are uncommon.
