The Sea of Thieves is celebrating its eighth anniversary with a festive Community Weekend Event! To partake in the festivities, you’ll want to set sail to claim login bonuses, find Pop-Up Plunder, hunt down hidden cakes, and more!
Everyone can participate in the Season 19 Community Weekend, no matter how long you’ve been sailing the sea! So whether you are new to the Sea of Thieves or an old salt who’s been around since the beginning, grab a grog, raise anchor, and set sail to celebrate!
Season 19 Community Weekend
During the Event, you can claim login bonuses, contribute to a Community Spirit Goal, earn boosted rewards, partake in Pop-Up Plunder to find rare treasures, hunt for hidden cakes, unlock Twitch Drops, and pose in front of Picture Walls!
The Season 19 Community Weekend Event takes place from 10 am UTC Friday, March 27th, to 10 am UTC Monday, March 30th.
Login Bonuses
Starting with login bonuses, simply setting sail anytime during the Season 19 Community Weekend will earn you the Season 19 Community Weekend Flag and the Arm Wave 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 handing in Bronze Pondies to The Hunter’s Call! Once the community achieves the Goal, anyone who participated by handing in at least one Bronze Pondie over the Community Weekend will unlock a Voyage of Luck and the Meridian Hunter Double Barrel Pistol.
To help contribute, you’ll want to catch Bronze Pondies and sell them to The Hunter’s Call. You can randomly find Bronze Pondies by fishing in ponds on islands without bait. Some notable ponds include the ones on Hidden Spring Keep, Mermaid’s Hideaway, and The Crow’s Nest Fortress. Of course, you can find more using your handy interactive map!
You’ll need to sail the High Seas when you sell them to receive credit.
Don’t worry if the community reaches the Goal before you can hand in a Bronze Pondie. You’ll still get the Pistol if you sell one 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. You can expect to unlock free gold, Renown, Voyages, Speak No Evil Emote, Lionfish Sails, Lionfish Pistol, Gilded Phoenix Hurdy-Gurdy, and the Eastern Winds Ruby Pirate Title!
Community Emissary Grade
Watching Sea of Thieves streams on Twitch will 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 high-value treasure that you can dig up periodically throughout the Community Weekend. You can expect to dig up Ashen Chests of Legends, Chests of Fortune, Collector’s Chest of Broken Emissary Flags, and a Collector’s Chest of treasure for the various Trading Companies. You can even discover 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. The Pop-Up Plunder will only be discoverable for a limited time, an hour, to be precise, after being announced.
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 festively 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!
Each Picture Wall also features a Community Emissary Flag that displays the current Community Emissary Grade.
Cake Hunt
You can find eight celebratory cakes hidden throughout the Sea of Thieves during the Community Weekend! Once you discover one, you’ll need to interact with it to receive credit for finding it. Find all eight to unlock an event-exclusive Title. If you can solve the related puzzle, you’ll earn another unique Title.
We’ll be marking each cake’s location over here on our dedicated cake hunt guide!
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!

the cake on Rapier Cay is next the the 3 barrels and 2 palm trees in the grass
Does it matter if the Bronze Pondie is Regular or Trophy sized?
Nope!
