Sea of Thieves is a multiplayer pirate adventure that is constantly evolving. Like other live service games, Sea of Thieves provides new content in the form of seasonal updates. New costumes, emotes, and other cosmetics are frequently added to the game's premium store. Players will need to accumulate a certain currency to purchase some of the aesthetics they desire. This guide will help gamers understand how to get Ancient Coins in Sea of Thieves for buying cool cosmetic items.
Many players trying out Sea of Thieves for the first time will surely want to get their hands on items inspired by Pirates of the Caribbean. With the release of the Sea of Thieves: A Pirate's Life update, characters and cosmetics from the popular Disney franchise have been added to the game. There's never been a better time for new players and veterans to save up their Ancient Coins for some special cosmetic items.
How to Get Ancient Coins in Sea of Thieves
Ancient Coins are a premium currency in Sea of Thieves. The quickest and most accessible way to get Ancient Coins is by spending real money at the Pirate Emporium in-game, or by visiting the Microsoft and Steam Stores, depending on the gaming platform being used. It is possible to earn Ancient Coins without paying any real money, but it will require more effort and patience. The alternative ways of earning Ancient Coins are defeating rare Ancient Skeletons or reaching high Renown Levels during seasonal progression. Players can earn even more seasonal rewards by purchasing the current Plunder Pass.
Where to Find Ancient Skeletons in Sea of Thieves
Players who want to salvage Ancient Coins without spending real money will need to hunt down as many Ancient Skeletons as possible. There is a random chance of finding Ancient Skeletons on any Island or Fort while playing Adventure Mode or the Arena. They are rare, but players will know that an Ancient Skeleton is nearby when they hear a certain music cue and the sound of clattering coins. Players only have 20 seconds to defeat the skeleton and claim its Ancient Coins before it despawns, though. The entire crew will receive the reward, so bring all hands on deck when an Ancient Skeleton is spotted during Sea of Thieves co-op play.
With a big-name collaboration coming to Sea of Thieves, it's never been safer to assume that the game has a bright future. Season 3 of Sea of Thieves is a great jumping-on point for any gamers who have been unsure about joining or returning to the game. Fans can confidently invest their time, or even their money, into accumulating Ancient Coins with the assurance that they can show off their stylish cosmetics for many seasons to come.
Sea of Thieves is available now on PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
