    <p><strong>Athena’s Run Voyage</strong> – Only Pirate Legends can purchase this new Voyage from Duke, then take their crews to visit Thieves’ Haven and surrounding islands on the hunt for new Athena’s Treasures. Those yet to reach Legendary status can join a Legend’s crew, or patrol Thieves’ Haven and try to steal from one! Anyone can return these new treasures to the Mysterious Stranger at any Outpost tavern to cash them in for gold and Athena’s Fortune reputation. Due to the raised stakes and rewards of this Voyage, Duke has placed a 50 Doubloon cost on it.

      <br>

      <br><em>The Athena’s Run Voyage will be permanently available from Duke after the</em> Heart of Fire <em>update.</em></p>

      <br>

    <p><strong>Chest of Rage</strong> – After the events of Crews of Rage, the fiery Chest of Rage can now be found emergently washed up on islands in addition to the vault of Molten Sands Fortress. </p>

</ul>

      <br>

<ul>
  <li>
    <p><strong>Ashen Tomes</strong> – The creation of new Ashen Tomes has now drawn to a halt, but fear not: Ashen Chests can still be located in the vaults of Skeleton Forts and the holds of Ashen Ships. These offer a chance at retrieving Tomes of Curses, Tomes of Fire, Tomes of Power and Tomes of Resurrection.</p>
  </li>
</ul>

      <br>

<ul>
  <li>
    <p><strong>Ashen Keys</strong> – These are still being hoarded by Ashen Key Masters, which can be found emergently patrolling islands out at sea.

<div class="article__text-block article__block grid-item span-10 push-1"><div>
<p>As we continue to offer improvements to accessibility within <em>Sea of Thieves</em>, head to our <a href="https://support.seaofthieves.com/hc/en-gb/sections/360004122293-Accessibility-Guides">support site</a> to find our other accessibility guides!</p>

<ul>
  <li>
    <p><strong>Colour Saturation Slider</strong> – The Accessibility Settings now contain a ‘Saturation Scale’ slider, allowing players to reduce the colour saturation of their in-game experience. Please note that setting a low saturation may make it difficult to distinguish between colours.</p>
  </li>

  <li>
    <p><strong>Improved Controller UI Accessibility</strong> – To improve accessibility when using a controller, controller face buttons shown within the UI now have revised iconography for better colour contrast.</p>

<div id="updates" class="article__section-title article__block grid-item span-10 push-1"><h2 class="variant-small-caps align-center">Updates</h2></div>
<div class="article__text-block article__block grid-item span-10 push-1"><div><ul>
  <li>
    <p><strong>Chainshot </strong>– A new cannonball type is now available in both Adventure and Arena! Chainshot will be available in ship barrels when players spawn, and can also be found in barrels throughout the world. When chainshot strikes a mast, wheel or capstan it does maximum damage, instantly destroying that ship part. When hitting the hull, however, it does very limited damage, so make sure to aim high. Chainshot has a shorter range than standard cannonballs, so get in close before unleashing it!</p>
  </li>

  <li>
    <p><strong>Blunderbomb </strong>– A new type of throwable weapon like the firebomb, the Blunderbomb is a glass sphere that explodes on impact, sending pellets in all directions. These pellets deal damage based on the distance from the explosion and cause knockback to any player on the receiving end of the blast, with a direct hit causing the most knockback damage. When fired from a cannon, these provide a larger player knockback and explosion radius. Watch out though, Blunderbombs may knock ships back but don’t damage them.</p>
  </li>

  <li>
    <p><strong>Cannonball Stocking</strong> – Across both Arena and Adventure, all ships will now begin a game session with two firebombs, Blunderbombs and chainshots in each cannonball barrel.</p>
  </li>

  <li>
    <p><strong>Merchant Alliance Now Accepts Ammo Crates!</strong> – Players can now cash in Portable Ammo Crates with Merchant Alliance representatives at all Outposts.</p>
  </li>

  <li>
    <p><strong>Tall Tales Gold Reward</strong> – Completing any Tall Tale will now reward players with increased gold amounts! Players will now earn 8000 gold instead of the previous reward of 3000 gold.</p>
  </li>

  <li>
    <p><strong>New Player Fishing Onboarding</strong> – When first bringing out your fishing rod as a new player, you are provided with pop-ups teaching you how to fish.</p>
  </li>

  <li>
    <p><strong>New Player Rowboat Onboarding</strong> – When first encountering a Rowboat out in the world as a new player, you are now provided with pop-ups teaching you how to use the Rowboat and return it to your ship.</p>
  </li>

  <li>
    <p><strong>Mermaid Statues in Trap Gauntlets</strong> – Mermaid Statues found inside trap gauntlets such as within the ‘Shores of Gold’ and ‘Heart of Fire’ Tall Tales now require longer interactions to avoid accidental use.</p>
  </li>

  <li>
    <p><strong>Returning to The Arena</strong> – When leaving the boundaries of an Arena map, you will now be returned to your ship after travelling a much shorter distance into the Shroud.</p>
