Hugh the Hoarder is a representative for the Gold Hoarders on New Golden Sands Outpost.

Hugh has very little trust for pirates, especially after a recent run-in with a pilferer.

Lore[]

Hugh was one of the residents of Golden Sands Outpost to be imprisoned by Captain Flameheart during the Forts of the Forgotten Adventure. After being rescued during the events of Forts of the Forgotten, he took refuge at an unknown location set up by Larinna[1].

With the successful rebuilding of New Golden Sands Outpost, he returned to his former duties.

Dialogue[]

Dialogue icon

I'm Hugh the Hoarder, eagle-eyed accountant for our gold acquiring company.

 
Tell me about the Gold Hoarders. What's in it for me?

Significant amounts of gold, in numbers that I doubt you can count to!
But you'll have to earn it fairly. I'll have no dishonesty from the likes of you.
Follow the maps we give you, they lead to chests that you need to bring back to the Gold Hoarders.
We'll count up the gold inside and you'll receive your remuneration.

Why do I need to bring the chests back to you?

They're locked and we have the only keys that can open them.
Which is fortunate for us, as I know you'd just keep all the gold for yourself.
You pirates are all alike, if this tent wasn't pegged down I'm sure you'd steal that as well.

What is an Emissary? (After 2.0.14)

Someone who pays to be an honorary Hoarder, earning a lot more gold for exemplifying our ways!
Or are you just looking for an angle, huh? A way to get a bigger cut?! Well it won't work!
That's why you have to pay a one-off fee, up-front. Oh, you'll have to get up earlier in the morning to trick old Hugh.

You're not very trusting, are you? (Before 2.0.14)

Who can blame me after what happened recently?
I was taking a nap after a particular lengthy session of counting our gold.
Then I felt something on my face. First I thought it was one of those pesky coin stealing parrots.
When I opened my eyes there was a grubby pirate trying to prise the gold off my chin with a dagger!
I know we're in Sea of Thieves, but that's just unacceptable.

During Forts of the Forgotten

Oh, a pirate's come to rescue us. I bet you're just in it for the reward. Well, all you're getting from me is a curt thank you. Now, my gold better be EXACTLY as I left it...
