I'm thinking those may eventually be used for new quests. But, I agree, we should list them as "Not used in current quests" or something similar.

Duh. I meant to say five.

[Dr. Zeppers]

Well im working on guides for the islands/digspots that are still being referenced in current quests (the ones most everyone needs to find). However the aspect of trying to map them all out (in various jungles/caves/etc) has crossed my mind. Ive tried to create a map of the rooms big enough to mark where digspots are with landmarks and not look rather cheesy, but havent had the patience it would take me to do it.

[CHIEFBLACKDOG]

I am trying to get info on a dig spot in the queen's nset that has a jewel.
I have found two spots but there is nothing interesting there
So i assume there is a quest involved
any info would be helpful as i'm all out of quests to do

[greatertater]

Part of the quest is to find a diamond I believe and it is in the dig spot in and around the main nests but that is as informative as I can be on this and even that might be incorrect.

Yes, there is a thread somewhere on this forum about the diamond dig spot, however, the recent release notes (this past week?) said it has been moved outside.

[Captain Seaford]

Nice guide!

Those notes are apparently misleading. Helped a guildie find it right where its always been 2 days ago.

[Mr.LoveLocket]

Why do they have dig spots in the catacombs.
You never use them.

[Swash]

Nice Guide zeppers i would never have the patience to find them on me own.

[Edward Edgemenace]

Please add Tortuga dig spot #7.
