Notes
- Picking up and placing Treasure Chests on a Ship for the first time gives Emissary Grade Reputation to Trading Company Emissaries representing the Gold Hoarders or Reaper's Bones.
- Shipwrecked versions of Treasure Chests have the same value as regular Treasure Chests, but count for a different Gold Hoarders Commendation. The only difference is visual, only showing up as "Shipwrecked" when sold.
- There is an Ashen version of this Chest, worth roughly double the regular Chest, which can be commonly uncovered from Ashen Treasure Maps or found in The Devil's Roar Region, but are not limited to these sources.
- All Treasure Chests emit a White Glint from a distance.
- Treasure Chests can be caught with a Harpoon.
Trivia
- Before the Reaper's Bones set up shop at The Reaper’s Hideout, Captain's Chests could be sold for double Gold to the Masked Stranger on the Island for a limited time.
- The Arena Game Mode trailer showed players interacting with Captain's Chests in matches instead of Sea Dog Chests and Glorious Sea Dog Chests
