Two years into Sea of Thieves, the world is filled with various and sundry treasures for adventurous pirates to find! More Trading Companies have come to the seas, too!
Most treasures can only be sold at one corresponding Trading Company, but others can be sold to almost any Trading Company!

Aye, that’s because here we’ve listed out each and every treasure you’ll find throughout the seas, and which Trading Company will accept such treasure in exchange for Gold Coins—and sometimes for Doubloons!
