How To Captain A Ship In Sea Of Thieves?<\/span><\/h2>\n

The Ship Captaincy system is one of the recent in-game features added to Sea of Thieves in Season 7. This feature allows aspiring pirates to become Captains and captain their Ships across the Sea of Thieves from the island to the Outpost.<\/span><\/p>\n

Captaining a Ship in-game is slightly challenging as they’ll need to complete a few things before being made a Captain. Firstly, they’ll need to acquire a Ship<\/a>, which can be done from the Main Menu screen, and they can select one of the three Ship Types, name their vessel, and confirm they own a Ship. <\/span><\/p>\n

They must ensure that they have enough Gold to make the purchase which they can purchase a Ship of every Ship Type. Once all the admin work is completed, this automatically grants them the Captain title, for which they can access an exclusive menu in which Captains can toggle various settings and more.<\/span><\/p>\n

But as soon as they set off on their first adventure with their newly acquired vessel, The Pirate Lord will appear to pirates as he gives them a rundown of the Ship Captaincy system. Additionally, becoming a Captain will grant them access to unique cosmetics accessible from the chest near the Shipwright Shop, which, visiting the Shipwright, will unlock new functionalities for Captains to utilize.<\/span><\/p>\n

Speaking of Voyages, Captains can acquire Voyages from Shipwrights from every Company in-game and are found atop their bookshelf in the Captain’s Quarters on the Ship. NeverthelShip Captains can keep track of their day-to-day activities via the Noteworthy Captain’s Logbook.<\/span><\/p>\n

This includes data like Gold accumulated, Voyages completed, Crew members, the last recorded Ship they’ve sunk, and more, which can be customized in this Logbook. As Captains, they’ll encounter a new type of NPC called the Sovereigns, found at all Outposts. They can assist in offloading cargo, for which they’ll earn Gold and Reputation, but they’ll only accept loot from captained Ships.<\/span><\/p>\n

Milestones and Alignments<\/a> are also new for Captains; the latter are groups of milestones that completing them raises their Class for the specific Milestone<\/a>. Lastly, Captains can abandon their Ships should they leave their current sailing season, which leaves their Ships uncaptained<\/a> and unable to earn Milestones, and their Ships will sink.<\/span><\/p>\n
