Sea of Thieves support site and let our Player Support team know.
Trading Company Emissary Balancing
- Athena’s Fortune Emissary – Progressing as an Athena's Fortune Emissary has been rebalanced, requiring players to perform more actions to increase their Emissary grade.
- Athena’s Run Availability – Following your feedback, access to the Athena’s Run Voyage has now been returned to unlimited purchases.
Emergent Encounter Balancing
- Kraken Balancing on Sloops – Kraken tentacles are now weaker to defeat when attacking a sloop. It will now take less damage to unwrap the tentacle from around your Sloop and tentacles also require less cannonball shots to be destroyed.
- Kraken Balancing on Brigs and Galleons – The damage done to Brigs and Galleons when the tentacle unwraps will be more consistent and do the same amount of damage each time. Kraken tentacles will also no longer cover access to the lower decks.
- *Megalodon *– When on a sloop, a Megalodon is less likely to attack when not provoked.
Updates
- Shark Hunter Ship Set – Due to your feedback the Shark Hunter Wheel, Cannons and Capstan have been removed from appearing at the Shipwright and are being reworked to better match the rest of the Shark Hunter set.
- Text Chat Censoring – When players try sending a text message that will be censored, a notification will appear to warn them.
Known Issues

- Rum Bottle Cargo – There is no visual indicator when a crate of rum bottles takes damage or is destroyed.
- Reaper's Chests Beacons – The beacons displayed on the Reaper’s Chests currently show the arena beacon.
- Island Event Markers – If the player exits the map quickly after hovering over a tale icon there is a chance the tool tip will remain on the screen
- Collector's chest – The Collector's Chest appears as closed once the player walks a certain distance away from it.
