    • —Twitch Drops: 30 minutes for a bucket, 1-3 hours for Gilded Phoenix ship parts, 4 hours for the Bat Cutout Emote.
    • —Tricksters and Treaters uses the Outpost Quest Board; five accepted maps earn the Pocket Pumpkin Emote.

    For your guild

    This Month in Sea of Thieves: October 2026

    Rare's October schedule sets a Bilge Rats Weekender for October 16 to 19, Fight Nights every Tuesday and Emissaries of Fortune every Wednesday, and closes the sail design competition on October 23.

    • —Bilge Rats Weekender brings event-only Smuggler Voyages, fireworks and challenges paid in Doubloons.
    • —Fight Nights raise Allegiance and gold from Faction Battles on Tuesdays when Last Ship Standing is not running; Emissaries earn more for 24 hours on Wednesdays.
    • —The winning sail design, chosen by a public poll of the art team's top three, ships in the March anniversary update.

    For your guild
    Pin the Weekender as your crew's event for the month and keep Tuesday for faction fights and Wednesday for emissary runs; the calendar repeats weekly, so a standing night fits it. Nothing here changes ship balance.

    Sea of Thieves Release Notes – 3.9.0

    Season 21 removes on-demand World Event Raid Voyages for good and, as a season-long experiment, takes 'Dive To' off every Voyage and Tall Tale. Custom Seas gains saved Layouts, a silver editor and ship damage switches.

    • —Each Custom Seas location stores up to 30 Layouts. New commands set time speed and edit silver per player or crew, and new switches disable health regeneration or ship damage by part.
    • —The Chest of Fortune can drop from eight emergent World Events, with a rare chance of three at once.
    • —Guild Emissary Ledgers pay out the Peaceful Skies painting, the Strong Together ornament and the Guild of Daring Diversions title.
    • —The Parley Pennant event runs to 22 September, and the next Bilge Rats Weekender is 16 to 19 October.

    For your guild
    With diving off, every Voyage starts with a sail, so budget longer sessions. Layouts make a guild event night repeatable: build the course once, save it, and load it again next week without placing a single item.
