- 8Locate Treasure: All treasure items emit a distinct colored glint, making them visible from a distance.
- 9Transport Treasure: Treasure must be carried by hand to the relevant Trading Company representative. While carrying treasure, a pirate cannot use equipment or resources and has limited mobility. Dropping the treasure allows for full control. Harpoons can retrieve treasure from afar.
- 10Utilize Container Chests: Smaller treasure items can be stored in Container Chests (up to 3 items) to hide their glow, glint, and sound, aiding in transport and delivery.

- 12Emissary Benefits: Sailing as a Trading Company Emissary grants bonus Reputation when collecting relevant treasure. Storing these items on your ship before claiming them further increases the Reputation gain.
