Understanding Factions & Reputation

Treasure items are transportable goods that can be sold to Trading Companies for Currencies, Reputation, and Emissary Value.

Each Trading Company has Representatives at every Outpost who accept treasure relevant to their company.

Representatives also offer Voyages, which are quests designed to lead players to treasure.

Random treasure can be found on islands, floating in barrels or shipwrecks, within Fort vaults, or taken by enemies like Skeleton Ships, Megalodons, and the Kraken.

Treasure items emit a colored glint or glow, making them visible from a distance.

A pirate can only carry one treasure item at a time and cannot use equipment or resources while carrying it. The treasure must be dropped to regain full control.

Harpoons can retrieve treasure from afar. Smaller items can be placed in Container Chests (holding up to 3 items) to hide their glow, glint, or sound.

Treasure left on land remains until interacted with. Treasure dropped in water sinks after about 5 minutes, except for Trade Good Crates which float longer.

As Trading Company Emissaries, picking up relevant treasure grants Emissary Grade Reputation, with additional increases for delivering it to your ship. These bonuses are awarded only on the first claim of an item.

Treasure items are categorized by the Trading Company that purchases them. The three main companies are the Gold Hoarders, the Order of Souls, and the Merchant Alliance.

Within these companies, treasure can be further categorized into Regular, Ashen, Stronghold, Skeletal, and Ghostly variants depending on their source.
