Learn how to find, carry, and sell various types of treasure in Sea of Thieves. Discover different treasure types, their locations, and how they contribute to your Gold, Reputation, and Emissary Value.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Finding Treasure: Treasure can be found randomly on islands, in shipwrecks, floating in barrels, within fort vaults, or taken from enemies like Skeleton Ships, Megalodons, and the Kraken. Treasure items emit a colored glint, allowing players to identify their type from a distance.
  2. 2
    Carrying Treasure: Treasure must be carried by hand to a Trading Company representative. A pirate can only carry one item at a time and cannot use equipment or resources while doing so. The treasure must be dropped to regain full control. Harpoons can retrieve treasure from afar. Smaller items can be stored in Container Chests, which hold up to 3 items and can hide their glow.
  3. 3
    Treasure Lifespan: Treasure left on land remains until interacted with. Treasure dropped in water sinks after approximately 5 minutes, though Trade Good Crates may float longer.
  4. 4
    Emissary Value: Sailing as a Trading Company Emissary and collecting relevant treasure grants Emissary Grade Reputation. This bonus is awarded the first time a treasure item is claimed and placed on the ship.
  5. 5
    Trading Companies: Each Trading Company values specific treasure types. Representatives at Outposts accept treasure for Gold, Doubloons, Reputation, and Emissary Value. They also offer Voyages, which are quests leading to treasure.
  6. 6
    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.
  7. 7
    Gold Hoarders Treasure: This includes Treasure Chests and Artefacts.
  8. 8
    Treasure Chests: These are locked chests sold to the Gold Hoarders. They can be found via maps, in Ancient Vaults, or randomly. They emit a white glint. Types include Regular, Shipwrecked, Coral, Ashen, Valuable, and Cursed Treasure Chests. Ashen chests, found in The Devil's Roar, sell for double the price of regular chests.
  9. 9
    Artefacts: Smaller items found on their own, in chests, or in fortress vaults. They emit a golden glint and include trinkets, containers, and ornaments made of valuable metals and gems.
Tips
  • Use the glint to identify treasure types from a distance.
  • Container Chests are useful for transporting multiple small treasures and hiding their glow.
  • Harpoons can be used to quickly grab treasure from a distance.
  • Prioritize selling treasure relevant to your current Emissary status for maximum rewards.
Selling treasure to Trading Companies yields Gold, Doubloons, Reputation, and Emissary Value, which are crucial for progressing in Sea of Thieves. Different treasure types and variants offer varying amounts of these rewards.
