Learn how to find, fight, and sell treasures from Ocean Crawlers like Crabs, Eels, and Clams in Sea of Thieves. This guide covers mechanics, types of treasure, and trading companies.

This guide covers the various treasures found in Sea of Thieves, including their mechanics, types, and how they relate to Trading Companies. Treasures are the primary source of Gold, Doubloons, Reputation, and Emissary Value.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Treasures are Transportable Items sold to Trading Companies for Currencies, Reputation, and Emissary Value.
  2. 2
    Each Trading Company values specific treasures and has Representatives at every Outpost.
  3. 3
    Treasures can be found through Voyages, randomly across the seas, in Islands, Barrels of Plenty, Shipwrecks, Fort Vaults, or taken by enemies like Skeleton Ships, Megalodons, or the Kraken.
  4. 4
    All Treasure Items emit a colored glint or glow for easy spotting.
  5. 5
    Treasures must be carried by hand to a Company Representative. A pirate can only hold one item at a time and cannot fight or use equipment while carrying it.
  6. 6
    Treasures can be retrieved with a Harpoon. Smaller items can be stored in Container Chests (up to 3 items) to hide their glow.
  7. 7
    Items dropped in water sink after about 5 minutes, except for Trade Good Crates.
  8. 8
    Picking up relevant treasures while sailing as a Trading Company Emissary grants Emissary Grade Reputation, with additional gains for placing them on the ship.
