Pirate Apprentice
Digging for quest items doesn't work at all for some pirates. On my main pirate I took the Curse of Yellow Dan quest from Sam Seabones and when I dug at the spot next to Fort Charles it did not find any quest items. However, when I made a new pirate and took the same quest and dug in the same spot, it did yield the quest item. Not sure what causes it, but I think it might have something to do with doing the Fine Cutlass Upgrade quest until the Putting it All Together section (which requires that you dig on Kingshead, Rumrunner's Isle, and Isla Cangrejos) as I have seen many people including myself that started having problems with all digging quests once we got to this section of this quest.
