Revision 1

Pirate Remains is a hand-crafted point of interest on the east side of the starting island in Windrose. It holds the Decrepit Chest whose Blurry Sketch triggers the Fifteen Men on a Dead Man's Chest side quest.

Location and Visuals

Pirate Remains sits in a shallow coastal area east of the player's initial shipwreck spawn. The POI is recognizable by a small boat and scattered skeletal debris. A Decrepit Chest sits in the center of the scene.

The Decrepit Chest

What Happens Next

Reading the Blurry Sketch in the Curios Tab starts the Fifteen Men on a Dead Man's Chest quest. The quest directs the player northwest across the starting island (avoiding the central Ancient Ruins) to a dirt patch flanked by four skeletons. Opening the buried chest there spawns four Drowned Sailor enemies as an ambush encounter.

Quest Rewards

Pirate Remains itself is the quest trigger; it does not grant direct rewards when looted. Rewards for the Fifteen Men on a Dead Man's Chest quest are earned later, at the buried chest northwest of the camp and through follow-up steps. Community guides list the quest payout as a small XP and faction-reputation bundle plus a handful of Silver Ingots and Guineas at completion, but exact quantities vary by source and patch.

Strategy

Most players hit Pirate Remains within the first 45 minutes of starting a new character. Bring healing and a Shovel (pre-crafted from 3 Copper Ingots plus 10 Wood at the Workbench) to complete the dig portion. If you haven't crafted the Shovel yet, pick up the Blurry Sketch first and return later; the Decrepit Chest itself does not require the Shovel to open.
