Quest for Treasure

Enough of only digging up other pirates’ spoils – finally, you can bury your own! You can now fulfill that essential part of pirate fantasies with Season Five. This season, you will be able to bury any item you like and make a map to get there. This can be done for safety, but you also have the option to post the map at an Outpost’s Quest Board and challenge others to find it.

If another crew successfully finds the location of your buried treasure, you’ll earn a healthy dose of Renown. Just be careful when following other players’ maps taken from the Quest Board – you can never be sure if what’s been hidden away is prime loot or something not quite so desirable…

Start Things off with a Bang

Whether you’re kicking off celebrations or just sending up a flare, Season Five brings in some explosive ordinance for pyrotechnically inclined pirates! There are many types of fireworks available. You can purchase themed Firework Crates (from the Merchant Alliance) or find them in barrels throughout the Sea of Thieves. If you’ve found yourself in a spot of trouble, there are also Signal Flares to help you signal to passing crews that you’d appreciate a little help.

Fireworks and Signal Flares alike can be fired from cannons, even from the prow of the Cannon Rowboat – a new mini-craft for any pirate who likes the idea of being a one-person demolition team!

These new features are accompanied by numerous quality of life updates to improve in-game immersion, whether it’s sitting and sleeping, passing the time on board with new shanties and dice emotes, whispering to crewmates by turning your speaking trumpet around or watching rats scurry around your sinking ship. Plus of course there’s a new crop of time-limited Events, kicking off with our annual celebration of charity, the Festival of Giving, and the traditional end-of-year bash, Grogmanay.
