Master Sea of Thieves treasure! Learn about all treasure types, where to find them, how to transport them, and which Trading Companies pay the most for your hard-earned loot.

Treasure items are the primary means of earning Gold, Doubloons, Reputation, and Emissary Value in Sea of Thieves. These valuable goods can be sold to various Trading Companies located at Outposts.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Finding Treasure: Treasure can be found through various means:
    • Completing Voyages offered by Trading Companies.
  2. 2
    Discovering random loot scattered across islands, beached on shores, or floating in barrels and shipwrecks.
  3. 3
    Breaching Vaults in Forts.
  4. 4
    Defeating enemies like Skeleton Ships, Megalodons, and the Kraken.
  5. 5
    Transporting Treasure:
    • A single pirate can carry one treasure item at a time.
  6. 6
    While carrying treasure, a pirate cannot fight or use equipment/resource items. The treasure must be dropped to regain full control.
  7. 7
    Treasure items can be retrieved from afar using a Harpoon.
  8. 8
    Smaller treasure items can be stored in Container Chests, which hold up to 3 items and hide their emitted glow/glint/sound, making transport easier.
  9. 9
    Treasure left on land remains until interacted with. Treasure dropped in water sinks after approximately 5 minutes, with the exception of Trade Good Crates which float longer.
  10. 10
    Selling Treasure:
    • Each Trading Company values specific types of treasure. Representatives at every Outpost accept these items for Gold, Doubloons, Reputation, and Emissary Value.
  11. 11
    Selling treasure relevant to your Trading Company Emissary status grants Emissary Grade Reputation, with additional gains for placing items on your ship. These bonuses are awarded only upon the first claim of a treasure item.
Tips
  • Pay attention to the glint and glow of treasure to identify its type from afar.
  • Utilize Container Chests to consolidate and protect smaller treasures during transport.
  • Prioritize selling treasure to the Trading Company that desires it most for maximum rewards.
  • Consider sailing as an Emissary for the relevant Trading Company to boost your Reputation and Emissary Value gains.
