Tortuga Teleportation Totem
 

It says I need to find an artifact from Tortuga.... that means that I need to dig up treasure right?? I have tried digging up stuff in Tortuga, but I never get anything. Little help.. please?? lol

I found an artifact in the town of Tortuga...near a pen for pigs. I'm not sure which artifact it was though.
I really should take notes.

Keep trying, it seems to be somewhat random when it gives you the artifact. I found mine near the Tortuga jail.

thanks guys!! it helps a lot!

Tortuga Artifact Can't Be Found
 

I hope someone can help me.

I have been working on the Quest for Tortuga Teleportation. I have completed everything except obtaining the artifact. I have helped 5 other people complete the quest so I know I am doing it right.

I have have found 5 dig sites on Tortuga but they have yielded nothing to me. I know I have dug over 40 times easily and nothing. Everyone I helped, got their artifact at the first hole they dug. Different dig sites but first try. I have logged off, logged back on, leveled up, sailed to other islands, completed other quests in hopes of triggering...something in the game to give me the artifact.

I have talked to Live Chat Support all they can tell me is that it is part of my pirate online experience.

Can anyone tell me if this has happened to them to this degree and what their outcome was?

Also, I asked Live Chat Support if I dropped the quest, would the game offer me the chance to try it again. If I returned to Tia Dalma. I was told no guarantee.

Make that 6 dig sites.

Usually you can find that on the hill next to Fabiola. :)

These are the sites that I have tried (unsuccessfully).

1. Behind Fabiola
2. By Alligators
3. By Pig
4. Behind the Faithful Bride
5. Behind Butcher Brown on the Hill
6. Left of the Sheep Pen
7. In front of Hendry Cutts

I have probably tried each one, at least 15-20 times.

Does anyone know of anyother dig sites on Tortuga. I even looked in some of the caves on Tortuga.

Number four worked for me and my friends ^^

So sorry you're having this problem, Eliza. I went through similar frustrations when trying to dig up the severed arm in the chest on Isla Cangrejos. On server after server, the chest would either be empty -- or already dug up and impossible to open.

I hope you have sent in a bug report, along with a logfile. DON'T leave it at the Live Chat stage. (I know they mean well, but I have found them less than helpful.) Once you get an issue # by return email, send an additional email referencing it right away with the request that the problem be "escalated to the engineering team". Don't wait for days to pass before following up on the report. (Remember: The squeaky wheel gets the oil.) Calling live support on the phone can also get you some added attention.

FYI, every major bug I've encountered -- such as the Cangrejos chest issue -- has usually been resolved within a couple days of sending in a bug report.

Good luck!

Thank you so much for applying to my post. I have followed your advice and am keeping my fingers crossed.

I have sent the email and gotten an issue number. I then returned the email requesting it be escalated to engineering team. Will I get an email letting me know something has been done?

I don't think it's bugged, unless it's bugged with your pirate only? Last night a guild matey found the artifact on the hill by Fabiola. And that's where I always find the artifact also.

Sometimes you'll get another "form letter" email, but nothing specific. I think you'll know when something has been done when you are able to dig up the artifact.

Good luck!

I found mine near Fabiola, but like people said, it's pretty random atm lol.

Woo Hoo I am a happy pirate. Success at last.

I received the quest to obtain the Cuba Transportation Totem a couple of days ago but held off in case this bug would affect obtaining that totem as well.

Since I had not heard anything from the bug report I submitted (other then the original acknowledgment of submission) I decided to go ahead and give it a try. I followed the track to Tia Dalma for the Cuba Quest and was told I needed to first return to Tortuga to obtain my Tortuga artifact before I could begin that quest. I did and received it on the first try.

I do still very much feel that it is a bug because I went back to Tia Dalma several times with no success. It was not until I tried to start the Cuba Quest that the game set things right. Also, one of the pirates I helped complete the Tortuga Quest is now unable to obtain the totem for the Cuba Quest.

Thanks so much for you help everyone. Hope this post helps others.
