Quest
Dead Man's Chest
A World of Warcraft quest in Tanaris. Facts and objectives from the current retail game data.
The highest voted Wowhead comments for this page. They are community notes, not TheWoWDB comments.
Classes that regularly use AOE effects, be warned that the gnomes can and will beat you down if you're not careful. Very easy to pull more than expected.
A reference to the sea shanty "Dead Man's Chest" from the novel Treasure Island, or the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" (which is probably a reference to the shanty itself).

Southsea Hood, Dellot's Leggings, Branded Gloves, 21g, 5,150 XPDescription
Look, babe, you should be able to see what's happening here pretty easily. There's pirates, there's goblins, the goblins are fighting the pirates. There's some sad little gnomes trying to fight the pirates too. I'll make it nice and simple for you: we need to kill a lot of pirates. Go do that, 'kay? We don't want the gnomes killing more than us, after all.

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Rocket Rescue
Alright, <name>. We've done enough small jobs around here; it's time to seal the deal. The ruins of Steamwheedle Port are still full of hapless Steamwheedle goblins, waiting to be rescued. Every single one of them is a potential future customer.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- To The Ground!
I've conducted a thorough appraisal of the real estate here and, unfortunately, its market value is just far too low to be of any use. We're going to have to renovate. Luckily for you, I've learned a few things about arson. Hopefully you have too!
