# Release Notes – 2.1.1

We’re a month into Season Two and with Reapers vs. the World well underway, there’s lots to be getting on with as you earn more Renown and work towards the remaining rewards. In the meantime, the team have been hard at work on new Pirate Emporium treasures and further fixes to improve the 
*Sea of Thieves* experience!

[▶ Sea of Thieves Season Two: Official Content Update Trailer (Duration 3:42)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFKacfeTMwc)

For a look at everything featured in Season Two you can view the original release notes 
[here](https://www.seaofthieves.com/release-notes/2.1.0), and for a breakdown of what the second month of Season Two brings, read on...

## Game Events

As The Reapers’ Bones continue to hunt other Trading Company Emissaries and claim their Flags throughout May, their gaze turns to the Order of Souls and the Merchant Alliance. Players can now choose whether to fly these Trading Companies’ Emissary Flags or side with the Reapers again. Talk to Larinna to learn more!

---

**Reapers vs. the World**

* The Reapers have shifted their focus away from the Gold Hoarders, and the Order of Souls have issued a rallying call! For the next fortnight, sail as an Emissary on behalf of the Order of Souls and tackle Event-specific goals to earn Season Two Renown along with a range of rewards.
* Following that, the Merchant Alliance will be under the spotlight, before all three of the targeted Trading Companies unite against their common foe.
* For the blackhearted Reapers among you, the Event-wide goal is still active! The Reaper’s Bones are keeping note of all Emissary Flags captured and returned to The Reaper’s Hideout, and will provide qualifying players (who’ve returned 10 or more Flags as Reaper Emissaries themselves) with a cosmetic reward depending on which Trading Company suffers the greatest losses. Keep an eye on *Sea of Thieves* social channels for updates on which reward players are on track to receive when the Event ends.
* As we have now entered the first full Emissary Ledger period of Season Two, players who’ve earned the previous Ledger rewards for any given Company will now be able to play for their newly introduced Ledger rewards.

## Pirate Emporium

The latest Emporium restock adds the Shining Pegasus Ship Collection and new emotes ahead of a big spring sale at the end of May. There’s also still plenty of time to pick up the Season Two Plunder Pass and add extra rewards to the mix as you build your Seasonal Renown!

---

**Season Two Plunder Pass**

* Take advantage of Season Two’s Plunder Pass for an early opportunity to obtain Black Phoenix ship cosmetics and fresh emotes, along with a range of existing Pirate Emporium highlights and extra Ancient Coin drops.
* The Plunder Pass is available to purchase at any time during Season Two through the Pirate Log, Pirate Emporium, [Microsoft Store](https://www.microsoft.com/p/season-two-plunder-pass/9mxtsxz7lvml) or [Steam Item Store](https://store.steampowered.com/itemstore/1172620/detail/67/).

**Shining Pegasus Ship Collection**

* Enrich your ship with the new Shining Pegasus Ship Collection. In addition to the main Ship Bundle, a radiant Collector’s Figurehead and gleaming Collector’s Sails are also available to buy!
* A Shining Pegasus Essential Ship Bundle is also on offer including just the core ship cosmetics at a lower price.

**Valiant Weapon Pose Emotes**

* Strike a dauntless pose and flaunt your chosen armaments. Your currently equipped weapon will determine which pose you strike.

**Freebie Dodgy Deal Emote**

* Keep your dealings under the table with this free Dodgy Deal Emote.

**Emporium Spring Sale (starts May 27th)**

* The Pirate Emporium will soon be awash with another wave of discounts on popular items from the back catalogue. Drop by to see what you can save on all manner of treasures!

**Wind and Weapon Pose Bundle (Store Only)**

* Available only from the Xbox, Microsoft and Steam Stores, this bundle contains the Collector’s Shining Pegasus Figurehead and Valiant Weapon Pose Emote, along with 1000 Ancient Coins and a 25,000 gold bonus for use in the Outpost shops!

* The Black Market Archive has been retired and is no longer looked after by Larinna. All Black Market Archive cosmetics are now available from their respective Outpost Stores.
