You have to bring the treasure home
PLUNDER treats treasure as real cargo. You might unearth a chest, discover it among shipwrecks or take it from somebody else. It still needs to get onto a ship and survive the return journey.
Buried treasure
Follow maps and clues to island dig sites; collect and carry the chest yourself.
Salvage from wrecks
Search wrecks and retrieve valuables from dangerous or inconvenient places.
Exploring on your own
Discover ordinary loot while exploring without committing to a voyage.
Treasure stolen from other crews
Battle other pirates and claim treasure they were carrying. The prize is what's aboard, not merely sinking the enemy ship.
Sell treasure at the Trading Post
Sell authorized treasure to the Trading Post for Gold. That currency funds ship purchases and is intended to support fair cosmetic rewards. Crew Gold is designed to be shared with qualifying members, not divided by the size of the crew.
Common chests and special rewards
Ordinary chest sales are designed as Gold rewards. A more extensive special sealed-chest system is planned: certain treasures may eventually award Gold or a collectible cosmetic result when opened through an authorized merchant. Exact rarities and drop rates are not finalized.
