Learn how to maximize your Reputation and Faction Rewards in Sea of Thieves. Discover the best ways to earn Gold, Doubloons, and Emissary Value by selling treasure to Trading Companies.
Treasures are transportable items that can be found, carried, and sold to Trading Companies in exchange for Currencies, Reputation, and Emissary Value.
Walkthrough
- 1Treasure is the primary source of Gold, Doubloons, Reputation, and Emissary Value in Sea of Thieves.
- 2Each Trading Company values specific types of Treasure Items and has Representatives at every Outpost.
- 3These Representatives accept all Treasures related to their Company for Gold/Doubloons, Reputation, and Emissary Value.
- 4Outpost Representatives also offer Voyages, which lead Crews on Quests to find Treasure items.
- 5Random Treasure can be found all over The Sea of Thieves: on Islands, floating in Barrels of Plenty or Shipwrecks, or within Fort Vaults.
- 6Treasure can also be obtained from Skeleton Ships, Megalodons, or the Kraken.
- 7Every Treasure Item has a colored glint or glow for easy spotting from afar.
- 8Treasure must be carried by hand to its respective Company Representative for a payout.
- 9A single Pirate can only hold one Treasure Item at a time and cannot fight or use equipment while carrying it. The Treasure must be dropped to regain full control.
- 10Most Treasure Items can be retrieved with a Harpoon.
- 11Smaller Treasure Items can be placed inside Container Chests (up to 3 items) to hide their glow, glint, or sound, making transportation easier.
- 12Treasure left on land stays until interacted with again; treasure dropped in water sinks after approximately 5 minutes (Trade Good Crates stay afloat longer).
- 13While sailing as Trading Company Emissaries, picking up relevant Treasure grants Emissary Grade Reputation. Additional Reputation is given if the items are placed on the Ship. These increases are granted only upon the first claim of a Treasure item.
- 14Treasure items are categorized by the Trading Company that purchases them.
- 15Within the Gold Hoarders, Order of Souls, and Merchant Alliance, Treasure Items are further categorized into Regular, Ashen, Stronghold, Skeletal, and Ghostly variants based on their source.
- 16Gold Hoarders Treasure includes Treasure Chests (Regular, Shipwrecked, Coral, Ashen, Valuable, Cursed) and Artefacts (Regular, Ashen, Stronghold, Skeletal, Ghostly).
