Sea of Thieves: 2025 Edition centers Season 17 on The Smugglers’ League, a covert faction that operates outside the traditional Trading Company workflow. The League runs from six hidden Hideouts scattered across the map, and crews take on Smugglers’ Route Runs (Quest Table voyages that follow a rotating dashed gold line on the map) or Smugglers’ Runs (via Messages in Bottles or the Quest Table) to move contraband like Fine Art, Crate of Dark Demise Rum, and Black Powder Barrels. These missions emphasize high risk and high reward, often pulling other crews into the chase as you pursue competitive drops.
