Insider Patch Notes 2.0.13.9
Insider Update 2.0.13.9 now live! With our April update fast approaching, we have begun restricting changes into the build as we work towards our final release candidates. This latest Insider update provides a range of fixes to our April features we need your support in testing - choose your company and head to the voting table to represent before setting sail!
If you do encounter any bugs, then please head to the
Sea of Thieves support site and let our Player Support team know.
Updates
- Representing as an Emissary – Choosing to represent the Gold Hoarders, Merchant Alliance or Order of Souls as an Emissary will now require you to be at least Rank 15 within that company. Their respective Emissary flag must then be purchased for a one-off payment of 20,000 Gold. Reaper’s Bones do not have a rank requirement and can be purchased at any rank, and Athena’s Fortune requires you to be a Pirate Legend in order to be eligible for purchase.
- Emissary Grade 5 Athena's Fortune Voyage – The Mysterious Stranger will now offer players a high value voyage if they reach Athena's Fortune Emissary Grade 5 during a session.
- Athena’s Fortune Costume – The Athena’s Fortune costume is now available for purchase via the Pirate Lord in the Pirate Legend Hideout.
- Athena’s Fortune Shop – The Athena's Fortune clothing and equipment shop has been upgraded to a newer layout style which has reduced the number of tabs, making it easier to navigate.
- Emissary Voting Information – Approaching any Emissary voting table will now display information on what it means to be an Emissary for the given Trading Company.
Known Issues
- Gold Hoarders Costume – There is an issue where after equipping the Gold Hoarders costume the player will not be able to change their clothing.
- Reviving – If you revive someone while the ghost shader has completely covered their body, it will partially remain on them after revival.
- Merchant Cargo Issue – There is currently an issue where players are unable to collect cargo after starting a Merchant Voyage.
- Ship Clouds – Ship Clouds can be seen overhead even when some of the events aren't active.
- Missing Localisation – New features within the April Update are still missing localisation into a range of languages.
