Having played Sea of Thieves for some years, it gives me great pleasure to walk you through the fascinating new features of Season 9. The arrival of the Chest of Fortune is among the most intriguing aspects of this season.
For those of you who are not familiar, anyone brave enough to grab this priceless and rare treasure chest is transforming the pirate domain. Still, fear not! This guide will go into great detail about finding and safeguarding the Chest of Fortune, its value, and how best to use it.
Finding Chest of Fortune
Finding the Chest of Fortune is not without challenges. You must stay sharp on the horizon if you are to start this exciting journey. The enormous red skull hanging in the heavens, combined with the eerie sound of a horn, indicates that the Fort of Fortune event is underway. Rising at random and drawing pirates from all around the Sea of Thieves, these indicators of the event are as elusive as they are sinister.
The event takes place at the Fort of Fortune, where the most courageous pirates await their desired Chest of Fortune. Be advised, though, danger permeates the path to the treasure. Ready to challenge those bold enough to seek their riches, skeletons protect the vault where the chest rests.
You will have to fight your way past these bones to get to the vault. Other eager pirates will be hot on your tail, vying for the chest themselves. Thus, this difficult task is not your only worry. Although the competition is intense, the rewards are well worth the effort.
Price of the Chest of Fortune
Your hard-earned reward awaits once you have overcome these risks and secured the Chest of Fortune. When turned in to the Gold Hoarders emissary, this high-value treasure chest is worth a fantastic 20,000 gold.
Apart from the financial gains, this chest enhances your standing among the Gold Hoarders. Turning in the chest is straightforward, and the commendation system ensures that your efforts are properly recognized and rewarded.
Benefits
Still, the benefits of owning the Chest of Fortune transcend gold and reputation. A sought-after cosmetic skin set debuted in Season 9—the Fates of Fortune ship set—is unlocked with the commendation earned from the chest.
Turning in the Chest of Fortune boosts your pirate credentials by helping you fulfill the commendation required to acquire this rare and valuable ship set. The excitement of discovering this set makes the search for the Chest of Fortune even more rewarding.
