And brings loads of events to earn you lotsa loot
The newestSea Of Thievesupdate docked yesterday, and though it hasn’t got quite as much big new stuff aslast month’s, Lost Treasures is bringing a whole heap of mini-events to earn bonus loot for your pirates. More importantly, there are also tons of quality of life changes being introduced, the first of which are the long-awaited checkpoints for Tall Tales.
Before now, players had to complete the Tall Tale quests all within one session because there was no way to save your progress and come back to it later. But now Rare have put in checkpoints, so if you’re midway through one and have to stop for whatever reason, you’ll be able to propose a Tall Tale straight from your inventory in your next session at the chapter you left it at.

As for that loot-earning goodness, daily bounties are now available for pirates to earn themselves a little more coin. These range from completing skeleton forts, to simply getting drunk with your mates in the tavern.
If that’s still not enough loot for you, between 6pm and 7pm BST every day is now a Gold Rush, where you’ll be able to earn even more rewards for cashing in loot.
There are a couple of limited-time events, too. Between now and the 8th of June the Reaper’s Bones faction will pay you more for any Reaper’s Chests you bring them, and you can earn yourself a special emote from them as well.
As always, there are a bunch of new cosmetics in the Pirate Emporium to splash out on. The standout items this time round are some incredibly gaudy Splashtail-themed clothing and ship sets. God, they’re actually so bad I think it’s making me want them more.
Regarding the rest of those quality of life changes, well, there are an awful lot of them. You’ll want to take a look yourself inthe Lost Treasures patch notes, but for a quick glimpse at the sort of stuff Rare have improved, have a gander at this excellent tweet:
