Celebrate Rare’s 40th Anniversary during Season 17’s Community Weekend! During the festivities, you can enjoy Twitch Drops, login bonuses, Pop-Up Plunder, Picture Walls, and, most importantly, boosted rewards like Gold and Reputation!
Season 17 Community Weekend
The Season 17 Community Weekend Event takes place from 11 am UTC Saturday, August 30th, to 11 am UTC Monday, September 1st. During the Event, you can claim login bonuses, contribute to a Community Spirit Goal, unlock Twitch Drops, partake in Pop-Up Plunder to find rare treasures, earn boosted rewards, and pose in front of Picture Walls!
Login Bonuses
Starting with login bonuses, simply setting sail anytime during the Season 17 Community Weekend will earn you the white, red, and gold Season 17 Community Weekend Flag and the Rare-themed Paper Cutout Emote.
You’ll find the Flag in your Ship Customization Chest and Emote in your Vanity Chest after you’ve unlocked them.
Community Spirit Goal
The Community Spirit Goal will have you and your fellow pirates completing 100,000 World Events! Once the community achieves the Goal, anyone who participated by completing at least one World Event over the Community Weekend will unlock the Ruby Legend Figurehead!
To help contribute, you’ll want to take on Skeleton Forts, Forts of Fortune, Forts of the Damned, Skeleton Fleets, Burning Blade’s Armadas, Ashen Lords, Burning Blades, and Ancient Megalodons. You can dive or sail to a World Event and complete it for credit.
Don’t worry if the community reaches the Goal before you can tackle a World Event. You’ll still get the figurehead if you complete a World Event before the Event is over.
Twitch Drops
As for Twitch Drops, you’ll want to tune into any Sea of Thieves stream on Twitch to unlock a variety of rewards, including cosmetics, Voyages, Renown, and Gold!
The rewards include:
- Eastern Winds Ruby Pistol
- Eastern Winds Ruby Cutlass
- Gilded Phoenix Pocket Watch
- Mandrake Sails
- A Voyage of Luck
- A Legendary Search for Cursed Treasure Voyage
- Renown
- 75,000 Gold
There’s also the bonus Twitch Drops, the Obsidian Captain’s Table and Obsidian Captain’s Logbook, that the community can unlock after diving to and completing 100,000 World Events.
Community Emissary Grade
Watching Sea of Thieves streams on Twitch will not only earn you unique cosmetics but also help raise the Community Emissary Grade. The Community Emissary Grade affects the multiplier used to boost the Gold, Reputation, Renown, and Allegiance you can earn in-game.
The more you and your fellow pirates watch Sea of Thieves streams, the higher the Community Emissary Grade will rise. Emissary Grade 5, the max Grade, applies a 2.5 multiplier on all rewards!
You can check the current Community Emissary Grade on the Events menu in-game.
Pop-Up Plunder
After setting sail, you’ll want to watch the Sea of Thieves social channels for clues on where to find Pop-Up Plunder!
Pop-Up Plunder is a piece of treasure that the Community team from Rare can bury at specific locations across all active Sea of Thieves servers. The Pop-Up Plunder will only be discoverable for a limited time, an hour, to be precise, after being announced.
Pop-Up Plunder can be a variety of different types of treasure. You can expect to dig up Collector’s Chests filled with Siren Gems, Chests of Legends, and Chests of Fortune! It can even be a Box of Wondrous Secrets!
Every time Pop-Up Plunder becomes available, you’ll receive an in-game toast and a Pop-Up Plunder Quest Note to notify you.
You can find out where the latest Pop-Up Plunder is throughout the weekend here or by following the dedicated Pop-Up Plunder interactive map marker!
Picture Wall
The beautifully decorated Picture Walls return! Like previous Community Weekends, a celebratory Picture Wall will appear on every Outpost for you and your crew to pose and take pictures in front of. There’s even one at The Reaper’s Hideout!
Community Spirit Firework Crate
And finally, you can collect a Community Spirit Firework Crate, free of charge, from any Merchant Alliance representative. You only get one Crate per pirate, so make sure you grab yours when you have time to use it!

Should we immediately get the figurehead after completing a world event or will we not get it until after the event
Once the Event ends. We don’t have it either, don’t worry!
