Events Calendar

Medieval music lovers are in for a treat this month, as our soundtrack expands to include the Bard’s Mix of a classic Sea of Thieves melody. You’ll be able to enjoy the reimagined tune on all the usual streaming platforms from October 9th. Give it a listen if you’d like to hear what our talented music types have been up to!

Prepare for battle, curse-seeking corsairs! Seek out combat with your Hourglass of Fate and earn increased Allegiance and Gold for every Faction battle fought.

Boosted Emissary rewards for crews representing the various Trading Companies on the seas. For 24 hours every Wednesday (starting 10am UTC), players sailing as Emissaries will receive a generous additional reward multiplier per Grade, stacking on top of existing bonuses!

The next Bilge Rats Weekender will be landing in the middle of the month, promising all the usual things you’ve come to expect: Event-exclusive Smuggler Voyages, Firework Displays and a checklist of Challenges to put your skills to the test… all in return for Doubloons, of course. As before, the Weekender will showcase a returning Event: this time it’s Reaper Fortress Mega Stashes! Battling through the waves of Dark Brethren Phantoms and Flameheart’s skeletons to complete a Reaper Fortress during the weekend may see you unlocking a Vault absolutely packed with treasure. Particularly lucky pirates might even find Chests of Fortune awaiting them. But it’s not the end of the world if you don’t get lucky the first time, as completing just one Reaper Fortress during the Weekender, stash or no stash, will reward you with a tidy sum of Doubloons for your trouble.

Alongside all the usual tweaks to the game you’d expect from a mid-Season release, October has two highlights sure to catch your attention. Firstly, Golden Sands Outpost will be making a reappearance as the latest Legendary Location to be added to Custom Seas, following its decisive victory in our player poll earlier this summer. Pirates will once again be able to explore this beloved Outpost, just as it was before it was besieged by Flameheart’s ravenous Reapers. Secondly, fashion-conscious pirates will be delighted to hear that Outfit Saving arrives as part of this update. Now you’ll be able to store your selected ensemble within your Clothing Chest while you try out a different look, ready to be reworn at a moment’s notice. This way you’ll be free to experiment with your getup, without having to arduously search for the clothes you were just wearing if you’re not quite so enamored with the new outfit. Go behind the scenes of Outfit Saving in September’s Sea of Thieves News below!

The Community Emissary Grade will be making its return, promising up to two-and-a-half times the usual rewards if it hits Grade 5. All you have to do is watch any Sea of Thieves streamer on Twitch to help raise the Grade and increase the reward multiplier for all players. Community Weekend staples such as Pop-Up Plunder and Picture Walls will also be returning, including a new Picture Wall at Golden Sands Outpost for any Custom Seas posing opportunities you’ve got planned. Merely logging in during the Event is well worth it, as it’ll grant you the free Season 21 Community Weekend Flag and a Voyage of Wild Luck. That’s not all: as spooky season will be well and truly underway by then, we’ve expanded this Event to celebrate. Tricking or treating by posting naughty or nice maps to the Quest Board during Community Weekend will contribute to two new Community Goals, bringing everyone closer to the rewards they promise – while completing maps taken from the Board will reward you personally with the charming Pocket Pumpkin Emote!
