Learn about all types of treasure in Sea of Thieves, including chests, artifacts, and more. Understand how to find, sell, and maximize your earnings with this comprehensive walkthrough.

Walkthrough:

  1. Finding Treasure: Treasure can be found randomly on islands, in shipwrecks, floating in barrels, or obtained from specific encounters like Forts, Skeleton Ships, Megalodons, and the Kraken. Treasure items emit a visible glint or glow from a distance, indicating their type.
  2. Carrying and Transporting Treasure: Treasure must be carried by hand to a Trading Company Representative at an Outpost. While carrying treasure, a pirate cannot fight or use equipment. A single pirate can carry one item at a time. Smaller treasures can be stored in Container Chests, which can hold up to three items and hide their glow. Treasure dropped in water will sink after approximately 5 minutes, except for Trade Good Crates. Harpoons can also be used to retrieve treasure from a distance.
  3. Selling Treasure: Each Trading Company values specific types of treasure. Representatives at Outposts accept these items for Gold, Doubloons, Reputation, and Emissary Value. Selling relevant treasure while sailing as an Emissary increases your Emissary Grade and rewards.
  4. Types of Treasure: Treasure items are categorized by the Trading Company they belong to. The main companies are the Gold Hoarders, Order of Souls, and Merchant Alliance. Within these, treasures can be Regular, Ashen, Stronghold, Skeletal, or Ghostly variants.
    • Gold Hoarders Treasure: Includes Treasure Chests and Artefacts.
      • Treasure Chests: These are locked chests sold to the Gold Hoarders. Types include Regular, Shipwrecked, Coral, Ashen, Valuable, and Cursed Treasure Chests. They emit a White Glint.
      • Artefacts: Smaller items like trinkets, containers, and ornaments made of valuable materials. They emit a Golden Glint and can be found on their own or inside Treasure Chests and Fortress Vaults.
    Tips
    • Look for the distinctive glint or glow to spot treasure from afar.
    • Use Container Chests to transport multiple small treasures efficiently and hide their glow.
    • Harpoons are useful for retrieving treasure without getting too close.
    • Prioritize selling treasure relevant to your current Trading Company Emissary status for maximum rewards.
    • Be aware that treasure dropped in water will sink after a short period.
