Discover all types of treasure in Sea of Thieves, from chests to artifacts. Learn how to find, transport, and sell them to Trading Companies for Gold, Reputation, and Emissary Value.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Finding Treasure: Treasure can be found randomly on islands, in shipwrecks, floating in the sea, within barrels, or in enemy encounters like Skeleton Ships, Megalodons, and the Kraken. Specific quests from Trading Companies also lead to treasure. Treasure items emit a colored glint for easy spotting.
  2. 2
    Transporting Treasure: Treasure must be carried by hand to a Trading Company representative. While carrying treasure, you cannot use equipment or resources. You can use a Harpoon to retrieve treasure from a distance. Smaller items can be stored in Container Chests, which hold up to 3 items and hide their glint. Treasure dropped in water sinks after about 5 minutes, except for Trade Good Crates.
  3. 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 treasure relevant to your Trading Company Emissary status grants bonus Reputation and Emissary Grade.

Types of Treasure:

  • Gold Hoarder Treasure: Includes Treasure Chests (Regular, Shipwrecked, Coral, Ashen, Valuable, Cursed) and Artefacts (small trinkets and containers). These emit a White or Golden Glint.
  • Order of Souls Treasure: Primarily includes Bounty Skulls and Voodoo Dolls.
  • Merchant Alliance Treasure: Consists of Trade Goods (Plants, Minerals, Exotic Goods) and Animals (Chickens, Pigs, Snakes).
Tips
  • Treasure Chests can be found via Treasure Maps, Riddle Maps, in Ancient Vaults, or randomly across the seas.
  • Ashen Treasure Chests, found in The Devil's Roar, sell for double the price of regular chests.
  • Container Chests can hide up to 3 small treasure items and conceal their glow.
  • Emissary Grade Reputation increases when you sell treasure relevant to your Trading Company Emissary.
