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.
