Tired of scowling at the same old mug every time you set sail in Sea of Thieves? If you’ve been rolling with the same battered buccaneer for way too long, here’s the good news: You can switch things up and keep all that sweet loot and hard-earned reputation you’ve piled up. This step-by-step guide will show you exactly how to give your pirate a fresh face—no progress lost.
Accessing the Pirate Emporium
First things first: you’ll need to drop by the Pirate Emporium. If you’re already out on the open seas, cruise over to the nearest outpost. Once you’ve dropped anchor, head on up to the Emporium building.
Alternatively, if you’re chillin’ at the main menu before jumping into a session, you can pop into the Emporium straight from there—super convenient if you’re in a hurry to shake off that old look.
Inside the Emporium, you’ll chat with the resident shopkeeper who’s eager to sell you all sorts of pirate-themed goodies. But for our purposes, zoom in on the Pirate Appearance Change option. It’s tucked away among other customization bits, so keep your eyes peeled.
Purchasing the Appearance Change
The Pirate Appearance Change comes with a price tag of 149 Ancient Coins, which translates to around $2.09 in real-world booty. It’s not a massive investment, but watch out for possible sales—sometimes, the Emporium loves to toss out discounts. Once you’re ready to commit, buy the Appearance Change, and rest easy knowing all your gold, gear, and rep stay safely intact.
Updating Your Character’s Look in Sea of Thieves
After snagging your Appearance Change, you’ll need to log out and log back in to apply the transformation. That quick exit and re-entry will refresh your account and load in your shiny new pirate visage. Trust us, it’s worth the extra couple of clicks.
Next time you’re off hunting treasure or laying siege to skeleton forts, you’ll be rockin’ a brand-new pirate look that’ll turn heads—or at least make your crewmates do a double-take. Now get out there, show off that fresh face, and keep making waves in the world of Sea of Thieves!
