Collector's Chest

This article is about the Container Chest called a Treasure Chest in game. For Gold Hoarders Treasure category, see Treasure Chests.

The Collector's Chest (now called Treasure Chest) is one of the Container Chests in Sea of Thieves, which is indicated by the shining white glint of Treasure Chests. Collector's Chests can be used to carry and transport smaller Treasure Items. Collector's Chests can be found all over The Sea of Thieves, sometimes empty, sometimes with Gold and 0-3 Treasure Items inside. Collector's Chests can be dug up by solving any Riddle Map. An empty Collector's Chest can be sold to either the Merchant Alliance, Gold Hoarders, Order of Souls, Reaper's Bones or The Hunter's Call for a handful of Gold but no Reputation or Emissary Value.

Where to Find[edit | edit source]

Collector's Chests can be found in the following locations:

Random chance to be dropped by a Megalodon or Kraken

Collector's Chests can contain up to three Artefacts or Bounty Skulls along with Gold that can be collected without going to an outpost.
Between 50-2,000 can be retrieved from a single Collector's Chest (not counting the value of contained Treasure).
An empty Collector's Chest can be sold to any Trading Companies for 250-520 , but no Reputation or Emissary Value.
Not all Collector's Chests have items or Gold inside and may spawn empty.
An empty Collector's Chest can store up to three smaller Treasure Items, such as Artefacts, Bounty Skulls, Mermaid Gems, Dark Relics, Keys or Treacherous Plunder.
An empty Collector's Chest can also store most Tall Tale Quest Items.
A Collector's Chest hides the glow and quells the sounds of the Treasure Items inside, however the Chest itself can be seen from far away by a white glint typical to Treasure Chests.
Container Chests are usually used to transport three smaller Treasure Items at one time to save time on turning in.
Items inside of Collector Chests must be taken out individually and placed on a ship in order to boost an Emissary Grade

Container Chests were added with the Anniversary Update along with various redesigned versions acquired during Tall Tales.
Collector's Chests were initially called Treasure Chests in-game, however this was changed to avoid confusion with the Treasure Chest Item. After a while, their name was returned back to Treasure Chest again.
