The regularly occurring “Gold Rush” event in Sea of Thieves temporarily increases the gold and reputation earned by players for turning in treasure. This boost applies to most activities that yield gold, encouraging players to be more active during the designated windows of time. As an example, handing over a Captain’s Chest during this period provides significantly more reward than usual.
These periods offer substantial advantages to pirates seeking to progress quickly within the game. By strategically focusing play during “Gold Rush,” players can accelerate their accumulation of in-game currency and unlock higher-level content and cosmetics faster than they otherwise could. This incentivizes participation and can lead to a more vibrant and rewarding experience for both new and veteran sailors.
