Insider Patch Notes 2.10.0.2
Insider Update 2.10.0.2 is now live. This update brings a change to the progression curve for players as they earn reputation with the Reaper’s Bones or Athena’s Fortune Trading Companies.
As always, if you encounter any bugs, please head to the
Sea of Thieves support site and let our Player Support team know.
Gameplay Improvements
Trading Company Progression Balancing
- Following the progression rebalancing in the previous Insiders build which focused on the Gold Hoarders, Order of Souls and Merchant Alliance, this update now makes similar improvements to the Reaper’s Bones and Athena’s Fortune Companies.
- The amount of reputation required to progress these Trading Companies has been reduced. This brings the pace of player progression much closer to the current retail experience, meaning that Voyages and the treasure earned from them will all feel more valuable and properly rewarding.
