To Walk the Plank you need to find one of the two pirate ships on the map. These ships appeared when the Pirates of the Caribbean event started.

Once you find a ship look for the wooden plank sticking out from its side. That’s your target. Walk onto the plank until you see a message saying you’ve finished the quest. Be careful not to fall off into the water!

Ship Locations

You’ve got two options for ship locations:

  1. Shipwreck Shallows (Southeast of Ruined Reels): This is right in the middle of the map. It’s easy to find but might be crowded with other players trying to do the same quest.
  2. East Shore (near Summit Temple): This spot is more out of the way near Grand Glacier. It could be safer if you want to avoid fights.

Tips for Success

Before you rush to walk the plank grab some weapons and shields. Lots of players will be heading to these spots so be ready for action.

If you’re playing no-build mode it might be tricky to get back up if you fall off the plank.
