Kommentar von Maed

This has to be one of the most fun quests in the whole game. I highly recommend you don't use any websites and just do the riddle. :)

Kommentar von 4688

Be warned, when you activate the secret place (no spoilers here :P) 5 pirates spawn around you, all of them level 44 - 45. What I did was run into the mountains right after activating the next quest step and pull one of them, which dropped the key for me.

Kommentar von 5591

First, go to the spot (Lowerest, right corner of Tanaris). There you must find something like anchor with a chest near it.
Second, open the chest and then 5 mobs will appear (they are grouped different).
Third, kill the mobs and 1 will drop key. Open the chest with it and complete the quest.

Rewards are Cuergo's Gold (Drink), some junk stuff and two items, at least green ones.

Kommentar von 4362

So, you can get quite a few green items if you are patient. Get enough drops from the pirates to make 5 complete maps.

Go down to the area and click on the landmark to start the event. Run away before they spawned pirates can aggro you. Since I was a mage it was easy for me to kill them all with AoE. I think their average level was about 44-45. Loot only one of the bodies for the key, go open Cuergo's lockbox and loot the box you get from completing the quest. Click on another of the maps to start the quest again. Go back and loot one of the other bodies that still haven't been looted, they will have the key again. Repeat until all your maps have been used up.

Kommentar von bootable

Just a note for those trying to get down to that lowest peninsula of land in tanaris to finish this quest, you have to swim around the mountains starting in the mid east section of the map and you'll come out down south.

Good Luck!

It's worth mentioning that the treasure site is surrounded by L50 hostile turtles. If you are in your low 40s, bring friends or wait until you are closer to 50 because the turtles are unavoidable.

Kommentar von 1284

This quest is repeatable. So you might wanna bring a couple of those fragments!

Kommentar von mashby

For those with add-ins such as Cosmos and Titan Panel, the coordinates are 54,93

Kommentar von 17951

This has to be one of the least fun quests in the game, I highly suggest you use a help site for this :(

Kommentar von 12074

I found the screenshot location at 51,91. I am using Titanpanel's chords. The area is also surrounded by level 48-50 aggressive turtles called "Surf Gliders". A total of 5 "Treasure Hunting" pirates spawned in two groups. One group consisted of two mobs the other 3 mobs. I pulled the one group of two mobs and the other 3 proceeded to run away into the ocean.

The Hidden Treasure contained 2 green items, 2 vender items and Cuergo's Gold = https://www.wowhead.com/classic/item=9360

Kommentar von scyap

AH..........

seems so fun, but no EXP or any rewards from it ?

Kommentar von akafortes

i found it at 55.92

Kommentar von 25550

it's at 54,95

Kommentar von plethorex

Just a warning to anyone considering this quest, or on this quest:

The turtles on the beach where you find the treasure are level 50 who constantly swarm the object you need to target, and this quest gives NO experience.

Kommentar von 22114

I got 8 pirates for mine and got owned. Still walking as I type this... /tear

Kommentar von 42862

So... yeah... Cuergo's Gold... Cuervo Gold... both are strong alcoholic drinks depending on the tollerance of the consumer.

Kommentar von ravagernl

Found it myself at 52.1, 94.3 .

Kommentar von 40065

I soloed this as a 46 Warrior. After i found the anchor, i ran away from it and waited for the mobs to leave. I shot one of them with my gun and pulled 3. I killed them and got Cuergo's Key, and opened the chest. It has some green and blue items in the box, and Cuergo's Gold with Worm.

Kommentar von 47792

This quest is a great way to get ahold of auctionable items fast. I brought with me 2 completed maps. First clicked the anchor and ran (yes it's possible and very easy to get away before they spawn, at least with aspect of the cheetah) then took out just one of the pirates, looted and got the key for the treasure. Then accepted the quest to do again from the second completed map and repeated same strategy. In 2 minutes i received 4 greens and the blue item "Wirt's Third Leg" which landed me about a total of 40 gold. Next time i will bring many more completed maps as this was a very effortless way to get fast cash.

All done solo as a lvl 43 Blood Elf Hunter.

Kommentar von 45595

The Inconspicious Landmark is located at 53.1 , 95.9 and you right click on it to 'summon' 5 pirates. Move out of the way as they run towards the mark and a box will appear, you need a key to open this box and they drop off one of the pirates.

After running to the landmark, they will run back to a certain location, there you can draw the mobs 3 at a time or 2 at a time depending on your luck. This quest doesn't give any exp.

NOTE: Remember to kill the turtles very near to the area as they might interfere. Use any CC you have against the mobs when you fight them simultaneously.

Kommentar von 48871

If you still can't find the right place or how to get there here is how you do it : First move to 63.63 and then swim all the way down to around 60.86. The treasure is located exactly at 54.95. And for the love of god, do NOT die because you are gonna do a looooong run back from Gadzetzan. Use stealth or stay away from the turtles if you are low level. Now let's say you are ok and safe now and standing at the right point and you can open the treasure. Immediately when you try to open it and the "opening " bar fills full, around 8-10 pirates will come, in groups of 2. Me , as a warrior, i used retaliation to counter all mobs but it just wasn't enough. You MUST run As fast as possible to any safe direction. After that , try to pull very carefully a single pirate and loot him for the key

Kommentar von Thottbot

Once you finish the map head south and go to the beach in Tanaris.

Click on the mast once you find it and be ready to run. Once the timer is done 5 pirates spawn. If you run immediately they won't attack.

I was able to then just pull two of them, rinse and repeat till they are all dead. You need to at least kill one and get the key.

Rewards were not very good considering the difficulty getting the map parts.

Anyone know what Cuergo's gold (the drink) is good for?

Kommentar von Thottbot

I found the mast at 54,95.

Kommentar von Thottbot

I've confirmed it's at that location, way south in the zone. It's surrounded by a grid of 48-50 elite turtles, but they don't roam, and agro radius is low so they are easy to avoid.

As hunter, it was really easy to just kill one, and then feign death. Once the pirates had retreated, I looted the one I killed and completed the quest. For my troubles, I recieved ~45s, Field Plate Armor of the Boar, Valorous Gauntlets, a PArrot Skeleton and Cuergo's Gold. Quite a nice haul!

Kommentar von Thottbot

Once you found all 3 Map fragments(Upper, Middle, Lower), use one of them, then it will combine to the Cuergo's Map, it's a quest.

Go to the Southern Part of Tan, you will see Land's End Beach.
On the Beach, there are a lot of elite turtles.. skip them.
Walk along the cliff side, you will find a triggerable Inconspicous Landmark(it's actually a broken flag), do it when you are ready to fight 5 lev 44~45 normal mob.

You will find the Cuergo's Key on one of them and use it to open the chest under the Landmark =)

I got a schematic and an axe of agility.. well..
I think it's similiar to Captain's Key.. but with 2 green items instead of one o.O...

When I complete it, I am a lev51 rogue. Pretty easy for me to fight 5 at the same time ^^

Kommentar von Thottbot

48 warlock(affliction tree)

triggered the mast/flag several times now and none of the pirates drop the key! what the hell is with that?

*edit*
finally got it off the seventh or eighth try, dont know if this is normal or not, but it was easy, just pissed me off cuz it took so long. Nothing too special dropped, a cloak with +24 healing my priest buddy will like tho, only reason to do this quest really is to try for Wirt's Third Leg, 1. because of the coolness factor, 2. not a bad offhand wep for rogues

Kommentar von Thottbot

I just did this with 45 mage. Clicked the mast (i think it was called an "inconspicious landmark") and blinked back to the mountains real fast. the guys (five, lvl 45 non elites) ran to the mast then split up into 2 groups of two's and one loaner. i picked off each group around the mast without agroing any of the others and got the treasure after they were all dead. Pretty easy, and didnt have to fight any of the 50 elite turtles either.

Kommentar von Thottbot

One word for allyall...

WATERWALKING! WOOOT
For all you shamans and alchemists cheer with me!
anywho... this quest aint all that bad.

- Pick up the all the quests for lost rigger cove especially the pirate hat one from Steamwheedle port. By the time you've grinded enough pirates for 20 hats with its HORRENDOUS droprate for 20 pieces you will DEFINITELY have the 3 map pieces.(they come dropped in little pirate lockboxes that arent locked)

- If you r alchemist or shammy this is the part where you cheer! You can mount while waterwalking. If you not an alchem or sham try and buy one, its not all that hard to make, not all that needed, shouldnt cost you much. Open your world map. See that open area down at the bottom area of the map? Over the mountains? thats where your going. WATERWALK

-Mount up and go turtle dodging all the way to the "inconspicuous Landmark"

-Open and RUN LIKE HELL back into that open area in the mountain

- Kill the one man alone for the key and go open your chest

-free green drop or higher, some vendor trash, and ALCOHOL!

-Now leave.

Really people, this quest aint bad. Just time consuming. Well worth it if you finish multiple maps and go do the quest a few times in a row.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Swam or coastwalked down the east coast to get there, stealthed past all the turtles and never had to fight one of them.

Ricght-click on one of the masts (there are two, one near the water and one near the hills, I chose the latter as there were fewer turtles and more hiding places).

As soon as the timer finished I turned and ran back to the hills, the 5 pirates appeared and just stood there: 2 pairs and one alone, also the chest you are after appears next to the mast. Pulled one pair back to a cleft in the hills, healed, pulled the solo, healed, pulled the last pair. Neat and easy, no turtle took any notice, first kill dropped the key.

Wait until there are no turtles near the chest/mast and open the chest, there's a box/chest in there you loot and run back to the hills again.

One trick though: you only have a short period to open the chest with the key or it disappears and you have to do it all again, I rested to heal after the last pair and that was too late so I ended up killing the 5 pirates 3 times before I realised what was going on.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Solo'ed this, level 50 Arms spec'ed warrior.

Finally found it.....for those wondering, you have to SWIM to the bottom tip of land in Tanaris from that area of coast on the east, lower side.

Once I made it to the lower land part, I hugged the cliffs all the way around to the west side of that southern tip of island.

I didn't agro any of those elite turtles this way.

Once I waited for the turtles to walk away from the thing sticking out of the ground, I ran over, gold-wheeled it, and then ran back to the cliffs, on top of the closest little one.

Five pirates spawned, 3 of which ran straight toward the shoreline and stayed. Two ran up some, closer to me. After waiting for the turtles to clear, I threw a dagger at the two closer pirates, killed them both, no problem, got the key.

Waited patiently for the turtles to clear once again, ran over and opened the chest.

I received from Cuergo's Treasure:

1. 29 silver, 71 copper
2. Star Ruby (green item)
3. Gigantic War Axe of the Eagle (green, level 41 2-h axe, 91-137 dmg +13 Int, +13 Stam)
4. Wooden leg (gray)
5. A Parrot Skeleton
6. Cuergo's Gold (unique item; Strong Alcoholic Beverage)

Last but not least....of course I hearthed my azz outta there :)

Kommentar von Thottbot

Really simple (as 60 rogue) quest and nice rewards, for me atleast! :)
Got 1 blue item, Wirt's Thirs Leg..
And 3 pretty good green items!

Kommentar von Thottbot

Much like the other posts. Avoid turtles, etc...

Food buff, agility buff (all I had), click mast, run.
Pulled the female 44 standing off a bit on her own, brought one 45 with her. Two sunders, rend, sweeping strikes, execute, one superior healing potion, took the other guy down....was at 20% health.

Rewarded:
Wirt's Third Leg (40 Blue)
Chieftain's Boots of the Eagle (44 Green)
Royal Amice of the Wolf (40 Green)
Two head rags - trash
Cuergo's Gold
some silver

Looks like I got lucky.

Oh and when I went to get chest I ended up pulling the mast again, because like the last post I couldn't see it when facing the beach. Had to run to the hills one more time. Went back and got chest. HS to Gadget. There will probably be a Wirt's Third Leg on AH very soon.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Apparently this quest is increcibly random in what it chooses to give you...I did it this morning and got two greens and a blue.

Kommentar von Thottbot

I'll use VelvetEdge's format from above since it's well detailed.

Quest : Completed

Level: 58

Class : Paladin

Location: Cove on Land's End Beach, mast was at 54,94

Tactic:

None needed really, I was a 58 pally! I had the Upper Map Fragment in my bank for a long time and finally got curious what quest it was for, and looked it up here. Bought the Lower and Middle fragments on the AH and did the quest.

Got down to the beach and found the mast. When the elite Giant Surf Glider turtles pathed away, I clicked quest pole and the treasure chest appeared. In my case, TWO mobs of 44-45 pirates spawned, with 5 pirates each. The first mob ran up from the beach and said something to the effect "We didn't hide this treasure well enough!" and then ran back toward the water. Then the second mob appeared from the mountain side to the north and said the same thing. They began to run back to the mountains, I aggroed two, killed them and got the key.

Clicked treasure chest, got treasure of:

46 silver, 59 copper
1 Exquisite Flamberge of Stamina (green)
1 Hoop Earring (grey)
1 Cuergo's Gold

An interesting thing happened with the second mob of pirates at the beach. I decided to go back and kill them for fun. I pulled one with a Thundering Charm (great way for paladins to pull most don't know about). Two others joined, but as I was backing up, all the pirates simply collapsed and died. Didn't disappear, just died. Obviously the quest is bugged, but I'll go back when I get more completed maps.

Kommentar von Thottbot

I just re-tried this quest to make room in my log, and laughed when I saw the trick to doing this... I'm embarassed I couldn't do this at 43 now..

I clicked the mast from it's north side then ran up north after the box spawned, I was just planning on pulling the pirates to the mountains to be sure not to aggro any turtles, but then....

They ran to the mast, then split up and ran back to their spawn points! they devided into a group of 1, 2 and 2.. I went and pulled the loan guy to the left, he had the key, and I opened the chest without ever having to fight the other 4..

Kommentar von Thottbot

the MAST is located at 54, 94. It does not look anything like a pirate ship. Looks like a stupid brown pole in the sand. It is also labelled as a "conspicous object". Once you click it 5 pirates lvl 44-45 will spawn. Run to the hills and try not to aggro the turtles. The pirates will eventually run back towards the chest area. I tried to pull a single unit but i dont think this is possible anymore. I aggroed 3/5 pirates, and killed them via AOE spells. The first pirate you kill will drop the key. Once you have the key, go to get your treasure and your done. Biggest hassle was the stupid turtles on the beach patrolling crazily, so watch out for them.

Kommentar von Thottbot

I found the landmark at exactly 55, 92

Beware: The Sea Turtles

Kommentar von Thottbot

I did this quest at lvl 44.
First I found 2 maps and the other one I bought on AH. Then I went down of the map en went to the flag. when you open the flag you see the chest and not much later 5 pirates running to you lvl 44-45. Since I could'nt possible handle them all as a lvl 44 mage. I runned into the sea ( look out for the turtles though they are lvl 50)
When I went into the sea I ran far enough so the pirates stopt following.
What I saw is that 3 of them ran to the left and the other 2 to the right. Now I could easy kill the 2 lvl 45's and just go to the chest en pick it up, because the other 3 were so far away that they didnt see me.

So I did this Quest with killing 2 of the 5 pirates. Hope it helps you guys!

Kommentar von Thottbot

after u go get ur stuff frm the chest can u go and touch the flag again to get more loot i hope so?

Kommentar von Thottbot

I was able to find this around coords 58,89 on the southern end of tanaris (Runetotem Realm). The only way that I was able to get to it was by following the coast/shoreline on the eastern side, making certain to stop on the areas of land so as not to cause any fatigue (because hey, you just never know).
On the way there, I was able to get 440xp for discovering Lands End Beach. There are lvl 48-50 Surf Glider Turtles that are not very pleasant. However, if you're able to, it's a great grinding area. I was able to get approx 580 rested xp per kill.
When finally at where you need to be, you will see an "Inconspicuous Landmark." Clicking on it will cause 3 lvl 45's and 2 lvl 44 pirates to jump out and attack you, as well as bringing up the treasure chest. The chest will not make any difference to you unless you have the key that you will loot off one of those pirates.
Use the turtles to your advantage! I was able to do this quest myself as a 49 priestess because of those grumpy guys! I used psychic scream on the pirates (although 1 stayed as my companion) and they ran right into 2 of the turtles and were killed almost instantaneously! Made my job MUCH easier.
When you loot the key, click on the chest. The pirates will reappear. I was able to use fade and shield and they didn't even notice that I had opened it and ran off with the treasure!
In it, I received:
approximately 35S
Champions Pauldrons of Stamina which is should mail for lvl 42 that gives 194 armor and +15 Stamina
Indium Circle of Spirit lvl 38 ring that gives +10 spirit
head rag
wooden leg
and lastly
Cuergo's Gold which is simply a strong alcoholic beverage
I wish you all luck!

Kommentar von Thottbot

This will be the information EVERYONE would like to know.

How & Where:
To get this chest or quest, you will have to kill pirates East of Tanaris. These pirates are the ones you kill for Steamweedle Port quests, and their location is on the East side of Caverns of Time.

Items required:
To get the items for the quest, you will have to keep killing the pirates until a Pirate's Footlocker. It has a 3.9% drop rate, these Footlockers will give you map fragments, depending on your luck, you may get Lower Map Fragment OR Middle Map Fragment OR Upper Map Fragment which will combine by right clicking one of them into Cuerog's Treasure Map.

Right clicking this Quest Item will begin this quest: Cuergo's Gold

For this Quest, you will need to venture all the way south of Tanaris, you will need to swim along the coast and mountains for abit, before reaching the EXACT PLACE where you can get your Curego's Hidden Treasure.

Level recommended 45+

Reason 1:
There are about 4 Surf Glider level 50 guarding the place.

Reason 2:
5 pirates ranging from level 44-45 will spawn upon opening the "Landmark".

Reason 3:
You will need to kill 1 of the pirates to get Cuergo's Key in order to open the chest.

How to do it:
I did it with my 42 druid. What I did was stealth to the "Landmark", then wait til the turtles are far enough so I won't aggro them and begin opening, once it is opened, the chest and the 5 pirates spawned, I shapshifted and ran back towards the mountain to prevent aggroing ANYTHING.

I pulled 3 of the 5 pirates and took them down slowly in bear form. I got the KEY. I hurried to open the chest.

HOWEVER, the chest and the 2 remaining pirates DESPAWNED. So, I reopened the "Landmark" again, 5 pirates spawned again, I ran back towards the mountains, then went straight for the chest without pulling any of them. Complete the quest, got my chest, and i hearthed out.

I really hope this information will help ALL of you doing this, because there are just too many junks up there.

PS: The chest will most likely give you a blue and greens, but if you only get greens, count yourself unlucky. I got Wirt's Third Leg 2 times out of 3. Goodluck.(##RESPBREAK##)908##DELIM##Uchur##DELIM##

what Lock Picking level are those Dented lockers?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I was expecting a little more from this than 2 lvl 40 green items and some booze. It might be worth your while if you are lvl 45 or lower. But be careful the Land's End Beach is full of lvl 48-50 elite turtles.

Edited, Fri Sep 30 05:42:13 2005

Kommentar von Allakhazam

after reading the forum posts, i dropped the quest and ditched my completed map. i didnt farm for the map, i got it while doing quests.

hang around 50 elites, take on group of mobs for just another BoE? no thanks.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

did with my 48 lock,died 4 times,lv50 elite turtles everywhere,and paths cross those of pirates and masts,got 39s,2 grey vendor junk,a bottle of booze,and a lv40 green plate armor for my pld,not a waste,but dont think ill repeat it.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I'm a 41 mage, I was able to get one of the pirates on the side to come towards me, I was able to draw him back but another came with him. I dispatched the two of them easily, I got the key from one of them as well. After getting my mana back I ran into the crowd and froze them in place then ran towards the chest. I was able to continue the quest and get Cuergo's treasure right before they started hitting me, and then I ran like a scared little girl :)

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I guess I got lucky, I got 50 silver, an aquamarine, and a blue lvl 40 mace that you can vendor for 2g or I'll just sell for 6 on the AH

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Lvl 44 Warrior

Unlocked the marker, ran backwards until they reset to their spawn points. Then edged forward from the West and pulled 3 of them, used retal and killed all 3, just! One of them dropped the key and other 2 (that I didnt pull) died instantly!

Be VERY careful of the turtles, there are loads about and if you pull one at the wrong time when fighting the pirates then your toast.

The rewards were pretty rubbish, I had pretty much the same shoulder guards and you get some useless alcohol, and a bandana...

On the whole not worth the effort for the reward.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

The pirates will not disperse into two groups on waiting, as Esenth said. This did not happed as of 12/31, and it makes it difficult to solo. There are 5 pirates of level 44 & 45, but mostly 45. Non-elite.

A very difficult level-45 quest. If you die, then you will have to run down from Gadgetzan to try again. I was only able to take down one pirate when I tried with a level-49 warrior.

Afterward, I ran all the way down there for my corpse. The one pirate I had killed was no longer lootable. My skeleton joined the several others who failed to obtain this pirate booty.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Completed it without hassle today as a 43 Human Rogue. Well worth it for me. Didn't even die once. This was my expierience:

I got the map fragments by completing 2 earlier quests involving the pirates in Lost Riggor Cove. I went south to Lands End Beach at the 55,94 region and located the 2 masts (I think they must change position every now and then, as none of the coords here matched).

I 'used' the first mast I found, which spawned the locked chest (requiring Cuergo's Key) and 5 pirates. After realising that the key was with one of the 5 pirates that spawned, I got it fairly swiftly:

By the time the pirates got close to me, I had stealthed (not vanished), and managed not to aggro any of them. They split into 2 groups of 2 and 3. Naturaly, I chose to attack the group of 2. I sapped one, killed the other, used a greater healing potion (about 400 health, not much) and killed the other once he came out of sap. No need for vanish, though I did use evasion. I then opened the chest, without aggroing any other pirates, and recieved Wirt's Third Leg - very handy at my level.

As for the turtles, they were indeed lvl 48-50 but as is the case with turtles, they weren't very aggresive, so I was able to move through them on my mount without aggroing even one. Also, it's worth mentioning that opening the chest doesn't generate any more threat from the turtles - they're not interested in the masts.

Worth it, and easy at my level.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I just completed the quest with my 51 mage. I found it quite easy but my prize was a level 43 green cloth boot and the rum and a grey piece. Definitely not worth all of the running around. I bought my middle map piece from the AH to save time but it still takes a while just to run down to the treasure. The elite turtles however give me 1200exp a pievce when rested and their drops seem much better. - Probably isn't worth your time ...

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I notice there has been numerous complaints about the rewards of this quest. My only complaint is the distance if/when you die. Its quite dramatic and renders the quest near useless.

My rewards: Furious Falchion of the Tiger (lvl 40 sword), Band of the Unicorn (great for druids/priests), A Parrot Skeleton, A Wooden Leg, and Cuergo's Gold.

I'm a lvl 46 warrior and I succeeded this mission with the use of 1 healing potion and 1 bandage. I ran away after touching the mast and attacked the mobs separately.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Soloed as a 48 feral druid. The mast is found around 54,91 in Tanaris. Five pirates spawn when you try to get the chest. I managed to kill two but then had to run. When I came back, the other 3 were just standing around and didn't aggro when I got the chest. If you can't take the mobs, just run away and come back.

In the chest I found 46s, 2 Journeyman's Backpacks, Wirt's Third Leg, and some alcohol.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

The payoff was okay. Thank you for those who gave location by geographical markers as I am one of those who do not use co-ords. I did find that it was best to pick off a few turtles nearby before digging for the chest. Once the Pirate mob appears, I suggest running off; after you get clear they will dispearse into smaller groups and be easier to deal with. Grinding on this..maybe not.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I got the following items for this quest
Gothic Plate Vambraces of the Bear
Blackforge Breastplate
Cruego's Gold <- Thats your gold
A wooden leg
a head rag
46s

The turtles on the beach do attack if you get to close, but they are easy avoidable

Kommentar von Allakhazam

The mast with the bones referred to in the quest information is at 59,86 on Land's End Beach at the very shouthern end of Tanaris.

It is listed as an Inconspicuous Landmark or something like that and has a gear icon (probably only if you have the quest). Perform an opening on it and a chest will spawn at it's base and you will get several pirates spawning on the beach just to the north who will run toward the mast.

As a rogue, I was able to stealth immediately after performing the opening and they ran to the mast, then back to their spawn point to wait. The chest at the base of the mast is openable, but it just leads to a quest screen which tells you you need Cuergo's Key, so the pirates needed to die anyway.

The first one I killed had the key, killing the rest just adds a little fun. :)

Once you have the key, open the chest to get the quest screen, complete the quest, and it will drop Cuergo's Hidden Treasure into your pack.

This would've been easier if I didn't get annihilated by an elite turtle every time I went in for the chest..other than that easy as cake.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I thought this quest was well worth it.

Took me 20 minutes to do. Levitated across the water to get to the beach, hopped on the horse and ran to 56,92 to the landmark while avoiding the turtles. Run backwards to the mountain after you 'open' the landmark and they all run back to their spawn points. One chic was off to the side, so I pulled her and one add came with her. The key dropped off them, ran back to the chest and got two green items, a grey, and the alcohol.

Not too shabby =D

i've done this quest 5-6 times (it's repeatable) i've gotten some pretty good greens, mainly rings with 15-16 resistance, I'm farming this quest for Nightblade, and Boots of Avoidance which have the highest droprate for them, if you want to farm for those items, you can just run between the two masts and keep spawning the pirates without turning it in. (that's only if you are wanting to farm for the epics they drop though).

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Yes, I managed this quest at 43. Have a Swamp Jaguar as my pet, 42 at the time.

Coming down the coast I dodged the elite turtles on my mount. Following posts here, I stopped at the first mast, 'opened' it, and ran back as the pirates charge to life. Then I pulled and was lucky to get 3. Nearly killed two but feigned death after first, since you only have to kill one for the key. Looted and mounted, running to other mast. Dodging elite turtles here is more difficult, but you can time it. Quickly I unmounted and 'opened' this mast. The chest spawns quick, along with more pirates. I was lucky in opening and completeing the chest just as the pirates hit me. Pet attacked and I ran a short ways before hitting feign death again. Popped back up and hit hearth.

Rewards: Two green NOT BoP chest pieces, Brigade Breatplate of the Owl and Tracker's Tunic of Spirit, along with some junk pieces.

Not bad!

29silver usless pegleg (grey item) and a green staff 11int 12stam level 39 req. not worth the time spent getting the map fragments,or even walking/swimming down beach for the chest. crappy quest

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Did the quest, killed the mobs? and no chest? Even had a soulstone on me.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Just did it with my 45 mage. The pirates spawned when I 'used' the pole, the first one of them I killed dropped the key. I had some very scary moments after that, because lvl 48, 49 and 50 elite turtles are patrolling the beach.
The rewards are not worth it. I got lvl36+ green leather shoulders, a parrot thingie, some other gray item worth 2s40c and Cuergo's gold, which is a unique volatile rum with a different name. Oh, and 27 (!) silver. You really don't want to die, because the nearest graveyard is Gadg.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Easy Quest for good loot. Solo'd with my 44 combat rogue. After clicking on landmark 5 mobs showed up so I stealthed off to a safe place to pull. Tried pulling one mob but 3 came. Hit evaison, killed one mob, used one health pot, killed another mob, blinded, bandaged, killed the 3rd. key droped and I was able to complete the quest. Opening the chest doesn't agro the other mobs so dont worry about having to kill them. 2 greens and a couple other random items. Is this quest repeatable? cuz I haven't had a map fragment drop since i did it. GL to all.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Soloed with 45 Rogue...
You can do it with druid too...
1.go to 53,59. There is some kind of a mark.
2."Use" it and Stealth/Prowl or run away... The 5 pirates go to two other groups (2+3).
3.Kill the pirates and get the key.
4.Wheee!

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Found it at 58,87
I think it can appear all along that southern beach.
5 mobs level 44-45 will spawn when you go to click on the object.
If you can't handle them all you can run off, heal and drink or whatever and then come back and kill them.

Good luck!

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Well, I'm Tauren and put the map together and it let me accept the quest. Outside of that I have no info. Anyone that's done it willing to shed some light for us? :)

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Hmm I think they mean Cuervo Gold... Great Tequila :) Gotta love the thought that the devs put into things like this. That being said this quest sucks a$$ big time. 1,253 kills 9 lower 1 middle. Not worth it except that I received this in one of the footlockers

Lampe der Südmeerfreibeuter quest not worth it but the drop was. Going to give it to my rouge when he gets high enough.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I haven't done this quest but there is a bird in Flame Crest on Dreadmaul Rock of Burning Steppes that talks about this gold. Not sure what it would lead too.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Solo'd this with my 50 NE rog. She pickpocketed for a while since a ton of Mages were mass killin everything in site, I was lucky to at least catch up to a mob before it was tagged by a mage.

Got the middle piece to drop within 3 of my own kills (can ya believe it? got some before those dam mages did :p), an hour of being in that area of course with mass killings going on. Seems a higher percentage rate for the middle piece during mass killings since rotations of loot tables are happening faster.

Completing the quest was a PITA, After mount running 1/3 of the way, swimming another third and stealthing past the elite turtles on teh beach, I made it to the 56.92 area for the final part of this quest. All reports of dieing are true... DONT DIE its a PITA to get back and by then its not even sure that your quest is still going.

5 pirates popped and ran right to the sprocket/chest, I backed away and received no agro. There is a safe fight spot away from the elite mobs wandering the beach... but solo, thats not an option since the 44-45 lvl pirates were wippin my tight lil NE arse.

I killed one pirate and vanished, they all ran back to spawn point. I managed to pull a single that was away from the rest of pirates, killed him... he dropped the key and chest popped. You can loot chest without agro, np. but I decided to try to kill the last 3 pirates, I managed to sap one, kill another and by the time sap wore off (45sec) all pirates just dropped dead (spose its a quest timer thing). Only looted the one pirate I was able to kill before they poofed.

Got a nice sword (green) sold for about 6g in AH, a grey, and the cueg gold thingy which I just sold to a vendor cuz there is no info on wtf its good for (4s).

Dont solo this if you dont mind diein or at least have a rezer with you and duo it at the least. As a 50 rogue I was struggling cuz vanish was used, Blind was used and speedie get aways are iffy with the 50 elites roaming. I only managed 2 kills and had no idea how I would kill the last 3 in time without dieing, luckily the key dropped on second kill.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Yep, just click mast, back up and treasure hunters wil run to mast then towards shore and stand there.
Pull right one and you will get 2 kill them get key and treasure.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

... but it is very very worth it,

I got Plans for Steel Weapon Chain, Plans forHeavy Mithril Helm and and a blue mace, Wirt's Third Leg - the best part is the free booze though :)

Did it solo as a 47 Warrior - died first time but if you dig up the chest and run away fast enough you won't aggro the pirates. One of them will be single and far enough away to aggro, kill him and get key et voila - free moneys.

The plans for the weapon chain are going for 200-250G on Azjol-Nerub EU

just did this quest as a 48 shammy, and had my 40th dru on my second computer for heals, did it easily with NO problem, thoe the drops was bad. Was around 53,96 no elite turtles, and no elite mobs spawned...messed with the ship wreck and chest and mobs spawned, I attacked killed em all, only had to heal once, looted the key off one of the mobs and opened the chest..got Plans: Heavy Mithril Pants, Lord's Cape of the Monkey, A Head Rag, and Cuergo's gold...all in all, it all sucks.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I got Plans: Thorium Bracers and a nice pair of level 40 plate boots the one time I did the quest.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

not at all cool. got there, hit the banner and killed all pirates... no key dropped. waited and repeated process 4 times. still no drop. Clearly bugged, (at least in lightninghoof) complete waste of time and i didnt even get to see the oh so intruiging "unknown reward". Blizz is gonna have to get there sh@t together if they want to keep me as a customer.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

i got the short end of the stick. only 2 CRAP greens the pirates did split up got the key quick looted. I got greedy going for the 2nd bunch and 50 turtle got me. I did this on my 43 hunter. Fun DOING the quest not so fun getting down there and finding the map parts.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I have killed more pirates than probably anyone has. Easily over 1000. I have gotten 4 upper map fragments, 5 lower map fragments, and not one middle.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Alright went back to the pirates and got the middle map fragment. Went to the place selliangus mentioned and finished the quest.

You have to kill one of those level 45 treasure hunters for the key, and then open the treasure chest. 2 green capes dropped for me, along with a bottle of rum labeled:

"Cuergo's gold"

I spent several hours killing pirates for rum.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Guys, seriously, if you really want to do this quest, don't kill thousands of pirates.

Go to your AH, and search for the map fragments, obviously it helps if you are on a high pop. server, but I got both my middle and lower pieces from AH.

Much easier.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

What a lame quest. I bought all the parts for the map at auctions, and went for the treasure at level 50. First there's the level 48-50 elite turtles you have to fight or dodge. Then you get ambushed by 5 pirates when you go for the chest, I barely killed one of them with that warrior multiattack ability(forgot the name atm) before I died with no healing. Then after I got back, got ambushed and ran away from the pirates so they went off-guard, the only treasure I got was 1 green not-that-good belt, 4 grey items and the beverage.
I was hoping for a real treasure that would be worth the traveling, turtle dodging and ambush:\

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Yes this is repeateble.. done it 3 times now.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

With my lvl 47 hunter I did this extremly easy. If you dont want to fight, fein death and they will return to their spawns :P No need to fight them. hehe

Then later, just kill them 2 by 2 and not all at once... :P Easy exp! :D

I (50 warlock) tried this with a 47 warrior. After swimming for 10 minutes we arrived (tell me there's another way) at the location. Those 5 mobs were too much for the 2 of us. Stupid quest. It better be worth it when I finally get it.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

As a 45 Hunter I was able to solo this in about 10 minutes. To clarify an earlier/misleading post, the swim is quick and you can actually walk along several areas of the shore, thus moving faster than swimming.
Once at the mast I clicked and the chest appeared with the 5 pirates. As the pirates approached me I ran away and they returned to stand a few yards away from the chest.
I then pulled two that stood slightly apart from the rest, froze one, and killed them both. The second one dropped the key. I then returned to the chest and opened it and quickly ran before the remaining 5 pirates reached me.
The trick is not to fight (as the 50 warlock and 47 warrior apparently attempted to do.)
Hope that helps... using whatever escape techniques you have you should be able to easily solo this at 45.

You know guys, all this info is useful, but for someone who has NEVER spent time in Tanaris, it would be useful if you would actually say HOW TO GET THERE. Thanks a lot.

I got the following items today by doing this q:

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Im on the part where i collect the pieces now, but when thats done, where do i find the key? Coordinates on key + chest = thnx

:)

Kommentar von Allakhazam

in order not to take on all 5 or 6 pirates at the same time, all you have to do is click on the mast, and back away to the mountians. chill there until the pirates run in two seperate groups to places about 15 meters from the mast. one group of 2 runs off by themselves. kill these two, get the key and pick up the treasure. easy.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Lvl 43 shaman had no problem with this. Didn't die once. Just read posts. Toughest part is the elite turtles. Had to burn a speed pot to get past. Only had to kill a single spawned human. This quest takes like an hour, totally out of the way and not worth it. I just wanted to do it once as i had the map, but won't ever bother with this again. 0 xp.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

just did this quest by accident. had it in my log for ages and i decided to discover the most southern tip of tanaris as i hadnt yet and i did this quest.

lvl49 warrior (fury spec) did it easily. good drops for me though.

Got the following:

43 silver
Wirt's Third Leg
Champion's Greaves of the Bear
Sniper Rifle of the Eagle
Cuergo's Gold

not bad for my drops. didnt need to heal at all since im all plate.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Ok.. located the area.. but where do you get the key from that you need in order to open the chest?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Solo'd, 43 Rogue.

I found the mast at 52, 92 and clicked. As soon as the pirates popped, I blew my Vanish and they all ran out to a good distance. Picked off he two that stood apart, got the key, popped the chest, and hearthed out.

For the record, this quest SUCKS. Like a previous poster, some silver, a parrot skeleton, Cuergo's Gold (alcohol), and a couple GARBAGE greens. Not only that, but you get NO XP for completing this quest. I'm glad I collected the map parts from guildies and didn't buy them off the AH like some.

Not worth the time or the effort.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Does anyone know if this quest is repeatable? If you do know, would you be so kind as to indulge me?

I got Wirt's Third Leg, going for 15g in AH, and two greens. Granted not everyone will be this lucky, it's an easy to do quest with a lot of free xp. The turtles are good grind too as you get higher.

I did this on my 45 mage, and it was easy. Simply get to the boat thing, right click it, summon the mobs, and back away. Since I was a mage I aoe grinded them no problem; it was rather fun, heh. If you back away, they go into smaller clumps and the quest is easy.

I hope this little "guide" as you called it, helps.

NOTE: Try not to die, as it's a long and wasteful walk back. Go before your going to log, so you can just hearth and not have to walk back. A tip is, if you do plan on going to somewhere like Orgrimmar after this, I can suggests purposely dying. The time wasted running just to fly to Orgrimmar doesn't seem too worth it to me, but do what you want.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

the middle map fragment drops from pirate's footlockers that drop from Southsea Swashbucklers.

it took me killing 5000 pirates before I figured this out.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Mast is NOT at 59,86 but it is on 52,94

Kommentar von Allakhazam

53,96 is where I found the 2 masts in the sand... either will work, 1st kill yielded the key needed to open the box, did it at level 48 Mage,
Received 2 green items.. nothing special, a head rag a hoop earing and Cuergo's Gold (an alcoholic beverage) dissapointed to say the least,

The area is also surrounded by lvl 47-50 elite Turtles

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I had more luck.

I found 24s in it whit the Spiritchaser staff of nature's Wrath. That staff i have sold for 2g.
There was also a wooden leg and that rum, but that's nothing. Sweet rum BTW Hips

Kommentar von Allakhazam

i found this quest really easy as a lvl 43 warrior, i only swam about 2% of the trip there,most of the cliff is walkable. i used the trick of running to the clif and then pulleed the 45 and 44 lvl mobs, killed them easily.
i got 1 green 41 silver the booze and 2 greys, didnt get ne xp from completion though.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

It seems in 1.12 they have made this quest MUCH easier. For one, all of the turtles I saw around the landmark were non-elite. Second, they no longer patrol right by the landmark you activate the quest on itself, none of them patrolling around came that close to it all.

Just activate the landmark, back up quick as it will spawn 5 pirates. Pull them carefully, and one will drop the key.. then claim your treasure!

On the downside, the quest still gives 0 xp and the loot didn't seem much improved. Got one crappy green, an aquamarine and a citrine along with Cuergo's Gold rum and a hoop earring.

Good luck all =)

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I got nothing but complete crap. I ^&*!ty green, 40 silver, Cuergo's Gold, Citrine, and some grays. Suck. What a long walk for nothing.

(solo'd as 52 pally)

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Ran it as a 52 hunter... pet died once because I didn't have him on passive...

Easy though. I got:
A Head Rag (grey)
Cuergo's Gold (white)
Captain's Leggings of the Monkey (green)
Myrmidon's Helmet (green)
Wirt's Third Leg (blue)

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I solo'd this as a 48 warlock.

It took me a few deaths to figure this out. I recommend clearing some of the turtles 1st. Once I cleared, I had my voidwalker and went and touched the landmark, then I immediately stepped back. About 9 or 10 pirates spawned and came to the chest then they split, 3 on one side, 6 or 7 on the other.

I went and took out the group of 3 and then let my pet get health and sent him in on the other group of pirates. I immediatly opened the chest and finished the quest.

Once I was done I put my pet on passive and ran, we both lived. :D

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I did this quest today as 44 warlock! well i can it was no easy! but i did it on first try!

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I decided to grind on this quest. Done it five times so far. Have gotten a total of 9 green items, a few that went for around 5g in AH. Not a bad score for killing some pirates and taking a swim!

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Oo 55,92 - u can swim can u?
Easy q for a 48 lock.. the 5 pirates dont aggro right away but u have to kill at least 1 to get key. Got 2 greens..

Kommentar von Allakhazam

This quest is for both alliance and horde, The location is on the southern most tip of Tanaris, there is a beach there, you have to swim all the way there to get to it

There are TONS of lvl 48-50 elite Giant Surf Glider turtles dotting the beach, they are aggroable, but yet they don't move or anything. They just sit there.

Blizzard has so many turtles sitting on that beach it's scary.

5 treasure hunters spawn right away, you have to be careful. they are lvl 45ish.

if you run away after opening the mast up they don't attack.

Edited, Fri Jan 21 20:11:11 2005

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I just did this one today with my 51 warrior. Don't have a clue as to why it said lvl 40 for this quest. Turtles fortunately have very small aggro area easy to avoid. I wimped out and killed one to get key in first group then ran, and ran second time and came back for chest. Glad I didn't fight because it wouldn't have been worth it.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Fully soloable as 45 frost mage, Cold snap and greater mana pot. np... got wirts third leg and some &*!@ty bracers

Kommentar von Allakhazam

killed the mobs got the key but no chest appeared.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Did this quest with my 43 Priest. Didnt have trouble finding the mast and bones, swam in the water with Swim Speed Potion (no feather to levitate) and avoided the Elite turtles. When I spawned the 5 Pirates, I attempted to kill em all. Well my Priest has 0 Spec points in Shadow, so really wasnt built for much damage. I managed to kill three off (they usually come in pairs of 2, or a group of 3, its completely random). If you dont kill them all in like a timespan of 5 minutes, they all die, and the chest despawns.

I would recommend, for any priests, to kill off 2 or 3, pull the rest to the chest, and AE Fear them. When theyre running, open the chest, grab the loot, then run up the cliffside to lose aggro. Theyll despawn, and you'll be safe!

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Soloed as a 46 gnomish warlock. Five level 44-45 pirates spawn when mast is clicked. I had voidwalker tank, took out 1 guy and wore another before AoE fearing. Once I got down to 3 guys, I just single feared whoever I wasn't fighting. VW and I were low on health and mana at end, but I didn't use healthstone/pots. Got some silver, Goblin Nutcracker of the Tiger, Revenant Girdle of the Bear, A Head Rag, A Parrot's Skeleton, and Cuergo's Gold.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

This quest was pretty easy, soloed with 43 hunter the lvl 48 turtals where annoying so i killed them... <,< no prob with my crab coudent pull one of the pirates so i grabed them all, used a ice trap to slow them down and feigned killed one of the pirates and ran in to the hills, grabed the key and poped open the chest...

got 32s and 2 greens ebon sword of the monkey (7g) and lvl 44 mail bracers 17+ int , also got 2 wooden legs and the rum

best part is as i was leaveing i got 2 blues of one turtal :)

Kommentar von Allakhazam

When can you get this since the latest patch? It's listed here at Attain: 55
Level: 45 (why the attain level is higher than the quest level I don't know)... anyone?

Yes the turtle do move

and this quest isnt worth it

crap lvl 36req green drops....and no XP

Kommentar von Allakhazam

This isnt a quest, but more of a reward. You can do this quest that weilds no XP as many times as you like. So far on my 60 i have made a reasonable ammount of money from BoE blues i have grabbed off farming to pirates for map pieces and from cuergo's chest. The chest is like any other chest, there will be disappointments where only a green is inside, or no green at all. But chances are good of finding a BoE blue (such asa common drop Wirt's Third Leg)

Kommentar von Allakhazam

What makes this quest worth doing is the fact you can do it multiple times. I get as many map segments as I can, maybe enought to make 4 or 5 maps and go to the beach. Make a map, get the quest, do it, then do it again and again and again. Get 8 or 9 greens and maybe a blue. I've heard of but never gotten a purple, but supposedly a rarity like Boots of Avoidance drops.

Anyway, I personally think thats the way to do it. You can sometimes find map fragments on the AH. I bought like 4 middles and 5 lowers for a little under 1g total. Someone had put the middles on for like 2.4 Silver and the others were there for 25 or so silver.

Good luck! And beware of the turtles, they're hard as rocks!

Hope this helps future quest seekers

well have done this quest 2 times the first time got an aquamarine and grays stuff with the booze still no idea if its for a quest being unique and everything major dispointed in the reward the second time i did it got planes for blacksmithing a wicked mitheral sword *to my surprise (its bind when picked up) ouch shame i dont blacksmith
needless to say if you happen to get the map pieces then great do the quest but definly dont camp the pirates for days and days only to get crap

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Very easy quest, soloed as a 45 mage. Clicked the mast, then ran for the mountains, watched the pirates run to the beach. One of the pirates went off by himself. Killed him, key dropped, got the treasure. The turtles don't agro unless they get really close to you. I got a couple of BoE greens, some greys and the Rum.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Just solo'd as a 50 Hum Rogue. Long and tedious run.

When I 'used' the mast, 5 level 45ish pirates spawned. As soon as they came at me, I ran back so I didnt aggro. There were two off to the side, so I took them first and got the key. Then pulled two more, and finally the last one. If you use a range weapon you can pull them two at a time.

My rewards:
Some silver
Trueshot Bow of the Falcon (Green)
Overlord's Crown of the Bear (Green)
A gray item
And Cuergo's Gold (rum)

I didn't die and after reading the previous posts, I would assume it would be a good idea not to >.>

Kommentar von Allakhazam

pretty wierd q, got like 5-6 lower and middle map fragments before i got the upper one.
then when you were opening the chest and got attacked by those 5 treasure hunters, i just vanished, then was able to pull 2 of em and get the key, and open the chest w/o the others noticing lol.
got lv36 and lv43 greens.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

did this today as a 45 rogue with a 45 mage friend in tow failed the first 2 times trying to fight the pirates managed to vanish with about 15 hp the 2nd time, after my friend died, the pirates ran back to their spawn point, I got my key off one of the ones we had killed and then they were easy to pull in smaller more managable groups. tried again once my friend was back and just vanished after I spawned the pirates, took care of them in the more managable groups, and got her her key. I got a pair of semi decent green items for a lvl 40(plate helm of the bear and a 2hander sword that wasn't quite as nice), the booze, a few silver, as well as some parrot bones, my friend got the booze, a star ruby and 2 grey items and a couple silver.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Can't recommend this quest; did it level 46 solo.

First go the Land's End Beach at Tanaris' southern tip. Going south along the beach, you'll encounter a wreaked ship mast, along with a lot of 48 – 49 elite turtles, all hostile.

Right clicking the mast creates 5 – 6 level 45ish mobs. Kill any one of them, the key drops.

Return to the mast, right click on it and a treasure chest appears. But the same mobs respawn before you can open it. Kill the mobs or run away. If you can also dodge the elite turtles, eventually, you can open the chest unencumbered.

Chest contents were ok (green), plus everything was bind when picked up. If you can't use it, it's vendor trash.

Overall, this quest bites: too much hassle with too little reward.

We did this quest with a level 43 druid and warrior. We ran all the way down the beach, and managed to make our way to Lands End mostly along the cliff. Avoiding the turtles was pretty easy - they didn't aggro too easily. Once we found the mast, we clicked on it and then ran back up to the cliff. The pirates ran straight to the water, so we didn't aggro them at all. We pulled the first bunch (of 2) and killed those, got the key first drop. I opened the chest and got a couple of green items, a few grays (with good vendor prices). Not the best rewards, but the quest was fun.

Just soloed as a 45 shadow priest. Location of around 53,90 ish is about right. Fought all 5 at once, not that bad a couple of fears and bandages later i had done them over. Think i dinged after the first one so that helped. Loot was "enchant bracer- Greater spirit, and Vorpal dagger of the tiger will ah them in a bit.

As a lvl 43 warrior (mayby the 200+ armor helped) this was easy, they split into 2 groups, managed to aggro 1 of them that had 2 people, that group was the one with the key.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

the masts seems to be random spawn all over the beach.

still this quest is far from worth it, avoid it unless you want to have some 'challange' for crappy rewards :P

Edit: And i didn't recive any exp as stated either.

I went in and Soloed this as a 46 Hunter. Pulled all 5 mobs with my pet DPSed one down and lootted key and Feind Death and droped agro and looted my reward.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I just did this quest as lvl 60, yes, I was very bored and i love doing quests, so when I found this one I was happy I had something to do.
No problem getting the pieces and finding the trasure.

When I open it i found a recipie and a armor. Armor is vendored for like 40s, but the recipie is worth around 130g on my server.

My lucky day :)

Kommentar von Allakhazam

simple put for those who dont have cords... there is a beach segment on the southern end ...(closer to east side) that u need to swim to u will see mast u can click on the chest appears and yes pirates come but easy to avoid.. kill one for the key (dropped on my first kill) then voila open chest.. get some items sell for good money no xp but hey its another quest..

also lvl 50 turtles that will attack u in the area so look out for getting to close unless want to kill them.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Soloed as lvl 44 shadow priest.. fought the two that were seperate and one dropped the key..

35 silver

2 head rags

Royal boots of the whale

recipe: limited invulnerability potion

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I found the "Inconspicous Landmark" mast at Land's End Beach (56,92). I clicked the mast, which spawned the chest and the pirates. I backed away toward the mountains and they all ran back to their spawn points. (Clicking the chest opens the window, but requires key to get the loot.) With my back to the mountain, facing the ocean, there was a female buccanner on the right standing a little away from the group. I pulled her and just one dwarf pirate added. Killed them easy, got the key. Went back to the chest and was able to open it without the remaining pirates aggro'ing.

I got the following loot:
Aquamarine x1
Ebonclaw Reaver of the Whale (green 1h axe, lvl 41)
Hoop Earring (grey)
A Head Rag (grey)
Cuergo's Gold (...hic!)

Kommentar von Allakhazam

There is no way to do the quest but to be around 48-50 level. Reason is the place is CWORLING with turtles 49-50 level, so you need to kill about 10 to clear the field then call the 5 pirats. No matter who you try to provoce, they always come 3 the first time. Realy hard for all meles couse they disardm. I even used retaliation but it was with no big succes couse they disardmed me the minute after. I wasnt able to solo it at 45 warrior, its imposible.. couse you have about 2 min before the pirats die

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Finished with my 45 rogue. only tricky part was dodging turtles, which do come fairly close to the location.

Heres my odd reward:

30s80c
2x A head rag
1x Hoop Earring
1x Cuergo's Gols
and...

2x Journeyman's Backpack.

WTF?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

My pirates didn't split up for me; I had to 1v5 them, but managed with my 49 prot warrior with the help of retaliation, intimidating shout, and healing potions.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Be aware! It spawns several pirates to fight you! But managed to kill one of them and he dropped key so I got the chest and runned away :)

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Did it first try with 46 lvl pally. Five priates spawned, but I backed off the mast beforehand so none aggroed. Went up to the group of two and slayed them, got the key and SCORED!

21 silver
Umbral Wand of the Boar (green)
Warmonger's Circlet of the Monkey (green)
Wirt's Third Leg (blue)
Cuergo's Gold (which I drank shortly after for the hell of it!)

I'm going to do this again soon! It was definitely worth the trouble!

Kommentar von Saytam313

If u loot the key from pirates and die, u cant dig up new chest and it will most likely despawn before u run back from Gadgetzan. If u delete key, it will remove quest and map that gives the quest.

Kommentar von Luckystar

I have done this quest on Classic servers. After killing one of the pirates, looting the key and getting completion, I unfortunately mis-blinked into one of the turtles and ended up dieing (I was level 42 so dealing with 4xlvl 44-45 plus a lvl 50 was a bit much for me). Upon coming back and ressing, the pirates had despawned, and so did the chest. I was unable to complete the quest and get the reward, and I was no longer able to click on the flag to restart the event either. So word of advice, if you are low lvl/unsure if you can solo this, get a group or wait until you're a higher level. I guess I'm off to farm the maps again...

Kommentar von noob0len

I don't know what coordinates others are posting but you go to (50, 90) at south Tanaris, toward the far west side of the beach there. That's where you'll find the treasure box after you have your map assembled and quest accepted.

Kommentar von minusDKP

This is really a 2-man job, unless maybe you're a 48+ feral druid maybe.

Not only do the 5 mobs hit fast but they also have disarm.
Pulling them one by one also seems unlikely. In my experience (wow Classic) they all pile up in the same spot.

Kommentar von Aamunkajo

I had 8 mobs, not 5, spawn on me when I did this. I did manage to kill most of them eventually (hit 1-2, run away, the others will reset), but before I had them all killed this way, the chest and the rest of the pirates had spawned. So a word of warning: for some reason, it is not always just 5 mobs.

Kommentar von Deldrum

If for whatever reason the treasure disappears before you can unlock/loot it, YOU DO NOT HAVE TO START OVER. You will just need another player to come and click on the mast again to respawn the chest (this will spawn enemies again!)

Kommentar von Ralwythgar

Just ran this.

Killed 2 pirates and got key.

Ran away to reset the others.

Returned to pick off the rest but had to clear a turtle first.

The remaining pirates despawned along with the treasure while I was eating.

Don't know what to do with the key now guess I'm done.

Kommentar von fleps

Not worth it on Classic, unless you are not alone:

- Mobs spawn together and do not split, so you need to kill 5 together.
- The mobs / chest despawn after a few minutes. So if you kill one of them and loot the key and they despawn before you manage to kill the others and loot the chest, you cannot complete the quest anymore unless you farm the map all over again or someone else click on the dam thing to spawn the mobs/chest again.

This is stupidly bugged.

Kommentar von aozgolo

Word of caution!

You only have one shot at getting the chest. If you die you will respawn WAAAY far away (By Gadgetzan) and by the time you run back your chest will have despawned as well as any of the pirates (whether or not you got the key). Starting the quest also consumes the map so you can't just abandon and re-try. If you fail you have to acquire all 3 map fragments AGAIN.

Blizzard does not restore consumed maps either so opening a ticket won't help. Be absolutely sure you can finish this quest before starting it or you will waste a lot of time.

Kommentar von Ranadicus

When you begin the event by clicking on the Inconspicuous Landmark there will be a combination of 5 level 44-45 Treasure Hunting Pirates, Swashbucklers, and/or Buccaneers who spawn in a group about halfway between the water and the landmark. If you intend to run out and pull them in groups be sure to run toward the mountains. Also be sure to preemptively clear a path through the level 48-50 Surf Gliders as well. This can be done as a group. Everybody gets to loot the key and open the chest that spawns for the quest turn in and you can all turn in at once. You don't have to take turns opening it in the event you're up against the despawn timer.

Kommentar von addohm

For whatever terrible reason, this quest is worth exactly 0 exp.

Kommentar von Chartoby

10/30/2019 I followed the suggestions, killed off the pirates, got the key, but no chest appeared. Was very disappointed. I don't know what I did wrong. Do any of you have some suggestions? Thanks

This comment is about classic:

I tried to solo this as a level 48 feral druid. I got six pirates. It's bugged now or something because they can't be pulled one-by-one. I think the number of them that spawn might be random between 5 and 10. I got 2 down, tried to run away in travel form so they reset, they didn't reset, and because of the #$%^ing leeway I was boned anyway and got dazed to death. I looted the key but ran back and the chest along with the pirates de-spawned. This is a pile of #$%^ing bull^&*!. Everyone needs to open a ticket about this quest and tell them it's bugged. Maybe they'll be nice and restore your quest for you. Maybe they won't.

Kommentar von kronchev

What the hell? I singled out and burned one, grabbed the key, and ran, and starting doing pulls to nuke one at a time. As I was on the last three they all died out of nowhere and the treasure chest vanished.

Kommentar von Crieve

This quest can be repeated so long as you have maps. You can buy the map fragments from the Auction House. (Albeit, not sure if the travel time is worth the small amount of gold you can make from DEing or AHing the greens and potentially Wirt's Third Leg.)

Kommentar von Christianlw

if you die after activating the fight but managed to loot the key and the chest de-spawned.
Destroy the key to get another chance to start the fight

Kommentar von xLunacyx

Managed to solo it as a 46 prot paladin, lay on hands was on cooldown from earlier but a greater mana potion was all the emergency I needed.
Fight lasted 2m 43s according to Details!.

Killed one asap and divine shield at critical health, then slowly beat the rest down with seal of wisdom to gain mana for additional heals.

Kommentar von Erethzium

If the chest despawns on you, just delete Cuergo's Key from your inventory and it will let you click on the flag again.

Kommentar von Squealhead

I was worried heading into this quest, based on the comments I thought there was little to no chance of being able to solo it as a level 46 destro lock. As my server is really low pop finding help for a quest is near impossible.. so I gave it a shot anyway, Yolo.

Pulled out voidy, put on a soulstone and had a cookie ready.

1. Clicked on flag pole,
2. Moved 10-15 yeards towards mountain to get a good view of spawns,
3. All 5 spawned on beach side of the pole, moved to the pole as a group and waited a few seconds before moving towards me.
4. Sent in voidy, moved him to a few diff mobs as I ran about a bit hoping he would grab aggro on most of them... which he did.
5. Bursted one mob, looted key, voidy died, popped cookie, howl of terror, opened chest, completed quest and ran like all hell with the help of my runspeed trinket...

Wow. Didn't expect to get away with that. Hearthed to gadget. Opened the chest.. 2 green items, one mail one leather.

Waste of time quite frankly.

Kommentar von musclemonkeh

So... I did the quest. Clicked on the mast. The guys all appeared and I killed them. But there was no chest. Is it somewhere else? Or is the quest just broken?

Kommentar von Tr6nce

If you have multiple maps in your inventory, after you start the quest, click on the branch, and kill the mobs, and loot only one mob for the key, once you open the chest, you can start the other map quest, loot one of dead mobs for another key and click the same branch thing. You can keep doing this until you run out of maps and mobs to loot. This saves time on running around looking for another branch and you won't have to spawn mobs multiple times.

Kommentar von Zitrus

This was fairly easy as a warlock. as soon as the mobs spawn cast howl of terror. pick one and dot them up as much as possible and send succubus after it and start running.

with some luck and healing pots it will die and you can loot the key.

To loot the chest send in void, once he has full aggro, again use howl of terror then loot the chest. You may die once you loot the chest unless you get lucky and outrun the mobs, so its always a good idea to use your SS!

Kommentar von LaffiBoozegnome

As a level 46 warrior this time around, and with the quest done multiple times before (other chars), I tried to do the most logical thing:

Run in, fear them, and take one with you as far back as you can, taunt etc. This almost worked, only there was one of the other buccaneers that really didn't wanna let go of her boyfriend. Died one time, and spirit ressed until later. Sometimes this works, sometimes not. Would have helped to have retaliation up, which would have left me with 3 mobs left. Still, from what I have read in the other comments, ther emight not be enough time for this to complete, if you're gonna wait for your intimidating shout to get up again.

BUT TO BE TOTALLY HONEST. BRING A FRIEND OR TWO! If you don't have friends, ask random people, until you find someone.
Using words like "please" always helps. Maybe a smiley.

Kommentar von Etreum

Quest is not shareable so if you go in group, everyone has to have all map parts to start quest.

Kommentar von Henderman

No XP, No Rep, No Thanks

Kommentar von Etreum

When I arrived, the chest was already spawned. Nobody around.

The chest was asking for a key, but no pirates around. Clicking on the banner did nothing.

I thought maybe I was missing a quest item so I hearthed out. But I did not have anything in the bank.

Maybe the quest was bugged out. Will try again later.
