Learn about all the different types of treasure in Sea of Thieves, how to find them, and how to sell them to Trading Companies for Gold, Reputation, and Emissary Value.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Finding Treasure: Treasure can be discovered in numerous ways:
    • Through Voyages and Quests provided by Trading Companies.
  2. 2
    Scattered on Islands, often buried or hidden.
  3. 3
    Floating in Barrels of Plenty or within Shipwrecks.
  4. 4
    Inside Vaults at Forts or Skeleton Forts.

    Taken from defeated enemies like Skeleton Ships, Megalodons, or the Kraken.
  6. 6
    Found in specific locations like Siren Shrines and Treasuries.
  7. 7
    Identifying Treasure: Most treasure items emit a distinct colored glint or glow from a distance, helping you identify their type and potential value.
  8. 8
    Carrying Treasure: Treasure must be carried by hand to a Trading Company representative. While carrying treasure, you cannot use equipment or fight. You can carry one treasure item at a time. Smaller items can be stored in Container Chests (up to 3 items) for easier transport. Harpoons can also retrieve treasure from a distance.
  9. 9
    Selling Treasure: Each Trading Company (Gold Hoarders, Order of Souls, Merchant Alliance) has representatives at every Outpost who will buy specific types of treasure. Selling treasure grants Gold, Reputation, and Emissary Value.
  10. 10
    Emissary System: Sailing as an Emissary for a Trading Company increases the Reputation and Gold gained from selling relevant treasure. Selling treasure for the first time while an Emissary grants Emissary Grade Reputation.
Tips
  • Always be on the lookout for the tell-tale glint of treasure, even when not actively on a treasure hunt.
  • Utilize Container Chests to consolidate smaller treasures, making trips back to the Outpost more efficient.
  • If you're sailing as an Emissary, prioritize collecting treasure relevant to your company to maximize your Emissary Grade and rewards.
  • Be aware that treasure dropped in water will sink after approximately 5 minutes, so act quickly to retrieve it.
  • Different treasure types have different visual cues; learn to recognize them to prioritize valuable finds.
