Black Thieves Zone[]
The Thieves Market is a unique Shop operated by the Bilge Rats in Sea of Thieves. The wares can be accessed by talking to Larinna outside any Outpost Tavern.
Summary[]
The Thieves Market is where the Bilge Rats peddle their wares, services and Voyages for Bilge Rat Doubloons and Gold. Since Doubloons are rewarded for overcoming special feats for the Bilge Rats, the Black Market is the main place where they can be used as a Currency. In the Market, Players can buy Mercenary Voyages for Bilge Rat Doubloons or Gold that take them on unique Bilge Rat Adventures or simply offer access to hidden Stashes with useful Treasure items for a fee. Players can also exchange their hard-earned Doubloons for Letters of Recommendation for some of the Trading Companies. These Letters are written by Larinna and have the power to convince a single Trading Company of raising a Pirate's Reputation Rank by one. Larinna is also willing to exchange Doubloons for Gold.
NPCs[]

Mercenary Voyages[]

These voyages are tied to the current Events and will often contain mixed quests, sending Crews towards the newest additions to the game as an introduction to new mechanics or themes.
