Dig Spot



''"That's not true. I am not obsessed with treasure." - Will Turner''

One frequent task is to hunt for buried treasure on a specific island. You can identify possible dig spots as a patch 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 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).You can find any where from 7 to 13 gold in a treasure chest from dig spot.

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. 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! 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 come up to you and attack. Make sure you kill him befire he does to you.

Also, 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.

Spots originally were not represented by a X on a patch of dirt and you had to locate them yourself. This was likely done to help players locate the hidden sites much easier.There are some that are the color of the grass but it's rare.
