Quest Log

X Marks the Plat!

X Marks the Plat! is an Alliance-only quest for level 10-60. The quest's turn-in marker is in Drustvar at 19.8, 44.6.

Description

You find a folded piece of aged paper next to the deposit

Opening it up, you find a map of Drustvar with an X along the western coast.

Several crude poems adorn the paper, with one in particular drawing your attention.

"Once I were a pirate,

livin' for rum and pleasure.

Since the mutiny, I've retired,

an' now I mine for treasure."

Whoever left this appears to have spent a significant time mining in these lands. They may have some insights you could benefit from.

X Marks the Plat! is obtained from [item=161085] item, which you have a chance to get from any Platinum Ore node.
It's a part of [spell=265852] quest line to obtain [spell=253357].
You can use Enchant Gloves - Kul Tiran Mining to speed up ore gathering.
To complete the quest bring [item=161085] to [npc=139746] in Anyport Drustvar.
I think that the best place to farm Platinum is Stormsong Valley
