1. The Sloop
Perfect for the solo sailor or a duo who trusts each other too much. It’s fast, nimble, and has just enough room for you and your poor decision-making skills.


2. The Brigantine
The middle child of the fleet. It’s ideal for three players who are ready to argue over who gets to steer and who’s in charge of bailing water.


3. The Galleon
The Titanic of Sea of Thieves. Requires a crew of four and a PhD in ship management. If you love yelling “Raise the anchor!” for 15 minutes straight, this is the ship for you.

Find your crew in the Tavern, where every pirate begins their journey, drinking grog like it’s a sport. Pro tip: The drunker the pirate, the better they are at firing cannons (probably).

Establish a chain of command: Captain, Navigator, Cannon Expert, and Guy Who Screams When We’re Attacked.

Your ship doesn’t magically stock itself! Raid barrels at every outpost for bananas, wood, and cannonballs. Yes, bananas—because pirates are legally required to love them.

If your crewmates don’t help with supplies, consider accidentally locking them in the brig. It builds character.

1. Gold Hoarders: Digging up treasure like a squirrel on a caffeine binge.


2. Order of Souls: Fighting skeletons that are more persistent than your last ex.


3. Merchant Alliance: Delivering chickens and pigs like you’re auditioning for Pirate Uber Eats.


4. Reaper’s Bones: Steal everything, sink everyone, and laugh maniacally while doing it.

Map Table: Your guide to finding islands, treasure, and trouble. Pro tip: It's not cheating if you pretend to know where you're going.

The Compass: Spin it a few times, point in a random direction, and call it "pirate intuition."

Cannons: Aim for the hull! If you miss, just say you were “warning them.”

Swordplay: Spam attack until someone dies. Precision is for landlubbers.

Gunplay: Remember to reload your gun before charging at enemies yelling, “This is a stick-up!”

Diplomacy: Flash your lantern three times and hope the other crew knows what that means.

Trash Talk: Yell things like, “Your mother was a mermaid, and your father smelled of old fish!”

Running Away: Cowardice is underrated when you’re out of cannonballs.

If the water turns black, congratulations! You’re about to meet the Kraken. Throw every cannonball you have at it and cry loudly.

Megalodons are like sea puppies, except they want to eat you. Fight, flee, or serenade it with a hurdy-gurdy; the choice is yours.

Hide on their ship: Bonus points if they don’t notice you for 30 minutes.

Steal their loot: Nothing says "pirate" like taking credit for someone else’s hard work.

Play obnoxious shanties: A hurdy-gurdy rendition of “Ride of the Valkyries” is a classic intimidation tactic.

Pirate legend or not, you need to look good while sinking. Visit the shops to buy hats, peg legs, and eyepatches that scream, “I have no idea what I’m doing.”

To achieve Pirate Legend status, grind relentlessly for months, sacrificing sleep and sanity. Once you reach it, realize that nothing changes except you get a fancy hideout and more people want to sink you. Totally worth it!

At the end of the day, Sea of Thieves is less about winning and more about laughing until you fall off your ship. Whether you’re stealing loot, singing shanties, or accidentally sinking your own boat, just remember: the real treasure is the friends (and enemies) you made along the way.

Now, set sail, you glorious disaster of a pirate!
