Go up into the hills behind Ratchet to 66,77. You will see a wooden ships mast with a pirate flag on it sticking out of the ground. When you click on it Baron Longshore and two Southsea Cuthroats spawn and attack you. Take em out and get your treasure.

Description

Sink me, you were right! There's a map tattooed on the skull. That cursed Baron - he buried my treasure right under my nose. Or, above my head, anyway. The map points to a place on the bluffs over Ratchet, to the south. Follow the road west out of the city, get atop the hill, head south, then run back towards the coast and look for an enormous tree overlooking the bay. Fetch my treasure and I'll split it with you!

Where to go

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.

  • A Most Unusual MapNorthern Barrens · Level 5-30

    Here's the deal, mate: to protect me treasure map, I tattooed it onto me first mate's scalp. Of course, he's dead now, along with most of me crew. The Alliance doesn't even know what they have - his severed head is hanging from a tree at the entrance to this camp.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Raging River RideNorthern Barrens · Level 5-30

    Enjoy your cut of the loot, <name>! I hate to share, but business is business. And that double-dealer Nozzlepot is guaranteed a 10% cut of this treasure. Can you deliver this to him at his outpost in the north? He's got a little research station upstream, along the river.
