00:00As the sun rises on the Sea of Thieves and we draw ever closer to our release date of March
00:0520th,
00:06what better time than now for you to brush upon your seafaring knowledge
00:10with this exhaustive look at everything you need to know about Sea of Thieves.
00:16In Sea of Thieves you have the freedom to explore a rich, fantastical shared world
00:21full of adventure and endless emergent action.
00:24While this world is filled with other players intent on seeking their own fortune,
00:28it's up to you whether you want to head out to sea by yourself or with others to help you.
00:33You can choose to set sail in the sloop as a solo sailor or as a dastardly duo,
00:38or if you'd rather take the galleon for a spin, you can voyage out onto the waves as part of
00:43a three or four person crew.
00:45To form your very own band of salty sea dogs, you can invite your friends or use our handy matchmaking
00:51system to find other players.
00:53This includes both Xbox One and Windows 10 players too.
00:56We've broken down barriers with crossplay, so everyone can get in on the action.
01:02If you still haven't found the right mix, and you're looking for others with a particular set of piratical policies,
01:08you can use the official Sea of Thieves Xbox Live Club to find like-minded players to share in your
01:13adventures.
01:14Whichever ship you choose to take out in your adventures, each one has been tailored for the different crew sizes,
01:19but both require you to physically manage their operation.
01:23Want to get moving? You better lower the sails and raise the anchor.
01:26Not enough speed to catch some thieves who ran off with your treasure?
01:29We'll angle the sails and catch the wind!
01:32Your ship is a vulnerable extension of your crew, and you'll have to take care of it if your voyages
01:37are going to be successful.
01:38Threats from other players, the elements, and quite frequently your own carelessness mean you always need to be ready to
01:47start patching and bailing as you make your way through the world.
01:50However, before you can rush off and start on your path to becoming pirate legend, you'll have one very important
01:56choice to make,
01:57and that's choosing the pirate you want to be.
02:00Luckily, we've got an endless line-up of pirates for you to pick from, all powered by the rather functionally
02:05titled Infinite Pirate Generator.
02:08Across the vast and varied world of Sea of Thieves, you could spend a lifetime exploring every sun-drenched island
02:14and outpost,
02:15clambering your way through claustrophobic caves and scouring the depths for sunken wrecks.
02:21And as you travel across the seas, you'll find three distinct areas.
02:25The Shores of Plenty, the Ancient Isles, and the Wilds.
02:30These areas all have their own unique look and feel, and for players who fancy themselves as a bit of
02:35an explorer,
02:36there are rewards not only in the form of gold and other treasure, but in knowledge too.
02:41Discovery will play a big part in your adventures, and whether that's navigating to an entirely new island or uncovering
02:48the stories of those who came before you,
02:50exploring the Sea of Thieves will play a crucial role in the voyages you choose to embark upon.
02:56Speaking of voyages, if you want to stand a chance of earning some serious coin, you'll have to deal with
03:01the charming representatives of the trading companies that have set up shop in the Sea of Thieves.
03:05The Gold Hoarders, the Merchant Alliance, and the Order of Souls.
03:10The Gold Hoarders have come to the Sea of Thieves with the goal of treasure hunting and amassing great wealth.
03:16They'll send you and your crew on voyages in search of buried treasure, with either riddle maps or classic X
03:22marks the spot maps,
03:23testing your knowledge of the island and encouraging you to look for details you may have missed before.
03:28The Merchant Alliance has come to control trade in the Sea of Thieves, and they have lists as long as
03:33your arm of the different creatures and supplies they want you to collect.
03:36They're sticklers for working to a deadline, so you'll have to keep an eye on your pocket watch to ensure
03:41that you get the goods in time.
03:43The Order of Souls wants to control the ancient magic of this world for themselves, and they'll send you on
03:48the hunt for deadly skeleton captains.
03:50These voyages will provide players with combat-focused challenges, and if you're successful, you'll snag yourself a skull to take
03:57back to them, which they insist isn't as creepy as it sounds.
04:01And of course, finding your loot is just half of the battle. Your goods are still at risk from rival
04:06crews until you get it back to the nearest outpost and cash it in for the real reward.
04:11As you progress through the ranks with each trading company, you'll be able to buy voyages that increase in difficulty
04:17and complexity, taking you and your crew across different seas and islands, and providing you with a greater challenge.
04:25These voyages can be shared with other members of your crew, regardless of their rank, so new and old players
04:30alike can set sail together.
04:33Completing voyages for each trading company will reward you with cold, hard gold, but you'll also build reputation with them
04:40too.
04:41And as your reputation increases, you'll be able to unlock and purchase new titles and cosmetics, making sure you look
04:47the part as half of pulling off the pirate persona.
04:50Fancy a new hat? Why not? How about a shiny new tanker to show off in the local tavern? Sorted.
04:57I hear peg legs and hook hands are in this season. On point!
05:02You can tailor your pirate to look however you want, and use your get-up to dazzle other players with
05:07your superior sense of fashion.
05:09Or if you're feeling a little devious, you can even dress down to hide your legendary status.
05:14Oh, they'll never know what hit them.
05:19The customization options aren't just limited to your character either.
05:22You'll be able to switch up key aspects of your ship to express yourself too.
05:27You can change the deck liveries, sails, and the figurehead of your ship, ensuring that your vessel's as fancy as
05:33the crew that sail it.
05:35Building reputation doesn't simply help you unlock cosmetics either.
05:38It's all part of your path to becoming a pirate legend.
05:43Pirate legends are players who have proven themselves within the three trading companies, overcoming various challenges to earn the ability
05:49to enter the legendary pirate hideout.
05:53Here, you and your crew will be able to access legendary voyages, as well as uncovering the secrets of Athena's
05:59fortune.
06:00Very mysterious.
06:02The voyages offered by the trading companies provide you and your crew with some guided goals, but there's an ever
06:08-present element within the Sea of Thieves that's poised to pull you off track at a moment's notice.
06:13You're not alone out on the sea. This shared world is full of other players.
06:18Every other ship you see on the horizon will be manned by a crew of real players, and how you
06:23choose to interact with them is entirely up to you.
06:25Maybe you'll move in fast, cannons blazing, intent on total annihilation.
06:31Or perhaps you'll go for some sneakier tactics, and steal their loot from under their noses.
06:36You could form a makeshift armada and work together, or even just head to the tavern for a pint and
06:41a jam on the hurdy-gurdy.
06:42The point is, this is up to you.
06:45Though it's not just other players that you'll have to watch out for as you journey through the Sea of
06:48Thieves.
06:49The world is full of other threats and emergent possibilities for you and your crew to discover.
06:54Like fending off sharks as you swim down to shipwrecks in search of resources.
06:58Or finding a message in a bottle that'll take you on a completely new adventure.
07:03Or, maybe you'll be drawn off course by the alluring sight of a giant skull cloud.
07:07A sure sign that some treasure hoarding skeletons have taken up residence at one of the many forts located around
07:13the Sea of Thieves.
07:14The challenge will be great, but the rewards even more so.
07:17These beacons could potentially draw other players in too, so best keep one eye on the horizon.
07:23Every new course you set in Sea of Thieves is a journey into the unknown.
07:27A roll of the dice in a world full of other players, colorful characters and fantastical creatures of legend.
07:34And it doesn't end there.
07:36The Sea of Thieves is constantly changing, with regular updates and live campaigns.
07:41These campaigns will offer players time-based goals and new ways to play,
07:44as well as introducing new characters that'll help players to uncover more of the lore in Sea of Thieves.
07:51Each player's journey will be different, and the ever-evolving world of Sea of Thieves, full of danger, fantasy, beauty,
07:59and unpredictability, will allow you to truly become a pirate of legend.
08:05So come and join us on the seas, and get ready to set sail on your own adventure.
