A Sea Master's Chest is worth 1,500 to 1,550 gold and provides a base 4,575 Emissary Value in Sea of Thieves.
How much is a Sea Master's Chest worth?
The Sea Master's Chest is a valuable treasure item found within the vast world of Sea of Thieves. Its worth is determined by two main factors: the gold reward you receive upon selling it and the Emissary Value it contributes to your chosen Trading Company.
Gold Reward
When you turn in a Sea Master's Chest to any of the primary Trading Companies (such as the Gold Hoarders), you will receive a varying amount of gold within a specific range. For a Sea Master's Chest, this range is 1,500 to 1,550 gold pieces. This gold can be used for purchasing various items in the game, including ship cosmetics, clothing, weapons, tools, and resources from outposts.
Emissary Value
Beyond the gold, the Sea Master's Chest also offers a significant 4,575 base Emissary Value. Emissary Value is crucial for players who choose to raise an Emissary Flag for a specific Trading Company. Selling treasures while sailing as an Emissary increases your company's ledger standing, which can grant bonus gold and exclusive rewards at the end of a competitive Emissary ledger period. The higher your Emissary Grade (achieved by collecting and selling treasure for your company), the more multipliers apply to both the gold and Emissary Value, making these base values even more lucrative.
Comparing Chest Values
To put the Sea Master's Chest's value into perspective, here's how it compares to some other notable treasure chests found across the Sea of Thieves:
| Chest Name | Base Gold Reward | Base Emissary Value |
|---|---|---|
| Sea Master's Chest | 1,500 - 1,550 | 4,575 |
| Admiral's Chest | 1,525 - 1,575 | 4,650 |
| Baron's Chest | 2,000 - 2,050 | 6,075 |
| King's Chest | 3,000 - 3,100 | 9,150 |
As seen, the Sea Master's Chest provides a solid return, especially valuable for pirates looking to progress their Gold Hoarder's reputation or climb the Emissary ledgers.
