Watch the official content update trailer to learn more!"

Lost Treasures is the name of the May 2020 Monthly Content Update, released on May 27th, 2020. Lost Treasures is a minor Content Update introducing various Quality of Life features, handful of bugfixes, new Events and Cosmetics. It was preceded by the April Ships of Fortune Content Update and followed by the June Haunted Shores Update.

Improvements to Tall Tales
The Lost Treasures Content Update brings various gameplay improvements to Tall Tales - the "Story" Quests of Sea of Thieves.
 * Checkpoints System - Every Tall Tale now has Checkpoints after each Chapter that allow Players to complete these Story Quests at their own pace. Checkpoints will always be available and can act as "save states" for Tall Tales when Players have to leave early or lose a Quest Item.
 * Quest Inventory - The previous Voyage Inventory under the Pirate Menu has been updated into a "Quest Inventory" that stores Voyages and Tall Tales separately. The Tall Tale Inventory allows players to store one Checkpoint per Tall Tale.
 * Map Markers - While Map Markers for Tale Book locations were added with the previous Content Update, players can now hover over Tall Tale icons to receive more information on the Tale and its location.

Events
The Lost Treasures Content Update sees the introduction of regular Daily and Weekly Events that can be tracked at the Events Hub Page on the Website.
 * Daily Bounties - Every day, Players are offered a Bounty initiative that tasks Players with defeating specific Encounters, selling specific Treasure, or sharing a Tankard of Grog with other Crews in the Taverns.
 * Gold Rush - Every day has two separate Gold Rush hours that boost rewards for every sold Treasure item. These hours take place between 18:00-19:00pm BST and 18:00-19:00pm PDT.
 * Fort Nights - Every Friday will now be host to a Fort Night that sees Crews receive boosted rewards for every sold Stronghold item (Stronghold Chest, Stronghold Skull, Crate of Ancient Bone Dust, Stronghold Gunpowder Barrel) that are available from active Skeleton Fort World Events.
 * Reaper's Rewards - This 1,5 week Event provides players with 3 Reaper's Bones Challenges that reward them with 4 new Reaper's Bones Set Emotes.

Quality of Life features
A number of Quality of Life Gameplay Improvements have been forced into effect with Lost Treasures:
 * Ferry of the Damned Armoury - The Ferry of the Damned has been equipped with an Armoury, where Players can switch Weapons before going back to the seas again. This can help Players pick different gear to face Pirates who are camping on their Ship.
 * Alliance Nameplates - When Crews form Player Alliances, the Gamertags of Allied Player Pirates will now be Purple to differentiate them from Crewmates and non-allied Pirates.
 * Rowboat Storage Interaction - The keybinds for interacting with a Rowboat's Storage Chest have been split from the "Sit" keybinds to prevent players from performing the wrong action.
 * Mermaid Recovery - The distance of appearing Mermaids has been improved to help Players get back on their Ship quicker.
 * Animation Quality Settings - Windows 10 Players can now change their character animation quality in the Settings Menu.
 * Default Settings - The Crew Status Tags and Sticky Radial Items settings are now enabled by default for new Players.

Shipwright Shop cosmetics
The Outpost Shipwrights have finally received a long-lost shipment of Ship Cosmetics that will allow pirates to complete a wide range of Cosmetic Sets. Head to the shipwright on any Outpost to see what you can add to your collection. Players will have to put aside 1,951,250 Gold to buy everything new from the Outpost Shipwrights.
