How to fix the Pest Control quest bug

Pest Control quest is part of Daily Challenges that players can clear to get free rewards. Players need to select the Pest Control option from the Daily Challenges menu to start the quest. Once done, head to the nearest dock and click on the compass located on the bottom right of the screen. Press the Alt button along with left-clicking on the mouse, and it will automatically take you to the quest’s location.

The issue has that players have been facing is that the pirates do not spawn. The pirates are the mobs that players need to clear in order to progress in the quest. However, there are cases when the pirates do not spawn at all. If that happens while you are playing the quest, just wait for a while, even when the pirates do not spawn. The quest event refreshes every 10 to 15 minutes, so they should spawn in the next cycle.
