How to get Sea of Thieves Ferryman Set and promotional code issues

There's no doubt that Sea of Thieves Season 3, and the free A Pirate’s Life crossover content, has drawn countless players to the open waters, both new and old. We've been extensively covering all the Sea of Thieves A Pirate's Life content in our dedicated section. However, there are some elusive, sought-after in the proverbial Davy Jones' Locker which players are looking for. If you are wondering how to get the Ferryman Set in Sea of Thieves, then we've got you covered, and we also provide an explanation of what to do if your promotional code isn't working.

Sea of Thieves Ferryman Set - How to get

First and foremost, we've got some bad news to share, especially if you don't want to let go of your hard-earned cash. 

The Ferryman Set is an exclusive, promotional cosmetic set that can only be attained by entering a code, found in Sea of Thieves Limited Edition Xbox Controller.

The Sea of Thieves Limited Edition controller can still be found in some shops and includes the Ferryman Set promo code. This set includes 11 cosmetic items, from the full outfit that mimic the Ferryman's appearance.

It is one of the most exclusive item sets in the game. However, there's also a Ferryman of the Damned Set which is not rare at all, that players can get via the Fort of the Damned content.

Ferryman Set promo code not working?

Since the Ferryman Set promo code is expensive and difficult to get hold of due to the limited supply of the Sea of Thieves Xbox Controller, some avid players are purchasing the code from other sources, such as eBay.

One reason your Ferryman Set promo code is not working could be due to scammers because the internet is dark and full of terrors...

Some players claim to have purchased the Limited Edition Xbox Controller and did not receive their code, or their code for the Ferryman Set is already in use.

Unfortunately, we've got some bad news to share. In a support post, developer Rare explained in May 2021 that: "If you have recently purchased the Limited Edition Sea of Thieves Xbox controller but you did not receive your Ferryman Set promotional code, either due to your code being missing or previously claimed, our agents are not able to add these items to your account as a replacement."

Rare suggests you contact the vendor who sold you the Limited Edition Sea of Thieves Xbox Controller to ask for a refund or further assistance on the matter.

Unfortunately, there's no easy way to get your hands on the iconic Ferryman Set in Sea of Thieves. You need to open your wallet and purchase that limited-edition controller and hope for the best.
