Discover how to find, carry, and sell various treasures in Sea of Thieves. Learn about different treasure types, their locations, and how they contribute to your gold, reputation, and emissary value.

Treasures are Transportable Items that can be found, carried, and sold to Trading Companies in exchange for Currencies, Reputation, and Emissary Value.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Treasure is the primary source of Gold, Doubloons, Reputation, and Emissary Value in Sea of Thieves.
  2. 2
    Each Trading Company values specific types of Treasure Items and has Representatives at every Outpost.
  3. 3
    Representatives accept Treasures related to their Company for Gold/Doubloons, Reputation, and Emissary Value.
  4. 4
    Outpost Representatives also offer Voyages, which lead Crews on Quests to find Treasure items.
  5. 5
    Random Treasure can be found across The Sea of Thieves, including on Islands, in Barrels of Plenty, Shipwrecks, Vaults in Forts, or taken by enemies like Skeleton Ships, Megalodons, or the Kraken.
  6. 6
    Every Treasure Item has a colored glint or glow for easy spotting from afar.
  7. 7
    Treasure items must be carried by hand to their respective Company Representative for a payout.

    All Treasure Items can be retrieved from a distance with a Harpoon.
  10. 10
    Smaller Treasure Items can be placed inside Container Chests (holding up to 3) to hide their emitted Glow, Glint, or Sound, making transportation easier.

    Treasure left on land stays until interacted with, but Treasure dropped in water sinks after about 5 minutes (except Trade Good Crates).
  12. 12
    While sailing as Trading Company Emissaries, picking up a relevant Treasure item grants Emissary Grade Reputation, with additional Reputation for placing it on the Ship.
Tips

  • Gold Hoarders Treasure includes Treasure Chests and Artefacts.
  • Treasure Chests are unbreakable and locked, sold to the Gold Hoarders. They emit a White Glint and include Regular, Shipwrecked, Coral, Ashen, Valuable, and Cursed types.
  • Artefacts are smaller items found on their own, in Treasure Chests, or Fortress Vaults, emitting a Golden Glint.
