Quest Items are crucial components found and used within Sea of Thieves' Tall Tales and special Voyages. These items take various forms, including Keys, Totems, Medallions, Trinkets, Skulls, and Equipment. Most quest items cannot be sold for gold, with a few exceptions.

Types of Quest Items

While each Tall Tale features unique items, they can be broadly categorized:
