Dive into Sea of Thieves! Learn about shipwrecks, sunken treasures, and how to find and sell valuable loot to Trading Companies for Gold, Reputation, and Emissary Value.
Walkthrough
- 1Finding Treasure: Treasure can be found randomly on islands, floating in barrels, within shipwrecks, or obtained from quests and enemy encounters (Skeleton Ships, Megalodons, Kraken). Treasure items emit a distinct glint or glow, allowing players to spot them from a distance.
- 2Transporting Treasure: Each treasure item must be carried by hand to a Trading Company representative at an Outpost. A pirate can only carry one item at a time and cannot use equipment or resources while carrying treasure. Harpoons can be used to retrieve treasure from afar. Smaller items can be stored in Container Chests (up to 3 items) to hide their glow and simplify transport.
- 3Treasure Lifespan: Treasure left on land remains until interacted with. Treasure dropped in water sinks after approximately 5 minutes, with the exception of Trade Good Crates which float longer.
- 4Emissary Value: Sailing as a Trading Company Emissary grants Emissary Grade Reputation when picking up relevant treasure. Additional Reputation is gained if the treasure is placed on the ship. These bonuses are awarded only upon the first claim of a treasure item.
- 5Selling Treasure: Treasure items are categorized by the Trading Company that desires them (Gold Hoarders, Order of Souls, Merchant Alliance). Representatives at each Outpost accept specific treasures for Gold, Doubloons, Reputation, and Emissary Value.
