Try out gives the chance to experience the pirate’s life serious fight. Make Jack Sparrow proud by “Sea of Thieves'' for yourself, and try to avoid without the fear of scurvy. Players explore taking on the Kraken, or live out a Jaws fantasy beaching your ship on the rocks. the mysterious Sea of Thieves, a region of the Atlantic Ocean secluded from the rest of the world by a mysterious fog, known as the shroud. Upon reaching the Sea of Thieves, it’s to players to decide how they want to proceed; sail to the different islands in search of treasure, explore mysterious shipwrecks for lost cargo and sunken treasure, or head to a nearby tavern and live out your Captain Jack Sparrow fantasies as a drunken pirate. The Sea of Thieves has so much to offer in terms of different regions to explore, like the calm and welcoming shores of plenty, which is always full of riches. Or, if you feel ready to take on more challenging waters, head to the Devil’s Roar; a volcanic region, full of volcanic islands that are minutes from erupting, but are full of even more valuable treasure. Sail with friends or by yourself in three different ships; from the small, but easy to manage Sloop, to the Galleon, a massive ship with enough cannons to destroy a fortress, but requires a four man crew to operate. Be wary of other players; in this game, it’s a gamble whether the next ship that comes across is willing to fight with you, or against you. If you are lucky enough to find players willing to aid you, form alliances with them and split the earnings of completed quests, which you can get from one of three factions: the gold hoarders, a group of gold lovers willing to part with their gold in exchange for more valuable prizes; the merchant alliance, a fancy faction only looking to make a profit by providing supplies to those in the Sea of Thieves; or, the Order of Souls, a mysterious faction focused on the eradication of the mysterious skeleton curse plaguing the seas.
