About

New This Season The Smugglers’ League have crossed the Devil’s Shroud! This mob of miscreants have a keen eye for the finer things in life, and of course the light fingers needed to acquire them from under the original owner’s nose. The exact nature of their business on the Sea of Thieves is a closely guarded secret, but they’ve got some work for pirates who are looking to make a little extra gold while fighting off rival crews along the way. So if you want to get a foot in the door with the Smugglers, start by searching for their Hideouts…   Uncover the Mystery Smugglers are, unsurprisingly, a tight-lipped bunch, but surely you can unearth some clues regarding their plans somewhere across the seas. Maybe a pirate with a keen eye and inquisitive nature could get to the bottom of their machinations… Smugglers’ Hideouts When you’re operating off the books, it wouldn’t do to be seen around the Outposts. Instead, The Smugglers’ League contacts have settled down in hidden Hideouts across the map, protected by concealed traps that you’ll need to avoid (or even use against your rivals) to ensure a safe delivery. Smuggle Contraband With the League still getting to grips with life on the Sea of Thieves, they’re in need of a hand to get their cargo where it needs to be. Available in High Seas, Smugglers’ Route Runs can be attempted from your Quest Table and take place along a golden route which will change each Season – a route that's also marked on other ships’ Map Tables, raising the challenge of reaching your destination with all cargo intact. Elsewhere, finding a Smuggler-branded Message in a Bottle also offers the opportunity to take on a Smugglers’ Run. These emergent Voyages can propose a variety of routes with even more exotic cargo, but all focus on sneaking precious, fragile wares from one Smugglers’ Hideout to another. Clandestine Cargo Rather than standard treasure chests and skulls, The Smugglers’ League seek rarer kinds of loot from Fine Art and high-value rum to extremely potent Black Powder Barrels! Get your hands on these and you’ll need to handle them with care: rum bottles will shatter if damaged, and while Black Powder Barrels can withstand a little punishment, their detonation packs more of a punch than any other explosive on the waves. An Evolving Sandbox Hideouts aren’t the only mark of the League’s arrival. Smugglers’ Shipwrecks can be found dotting the waves this Season, loaded with rare and desirable cargo that’s well worth a detour to salvage. Roving Skeleton Ships have already been out there claiming some of this cargo, and scattered items can also be found washed up on shorelines, provided another keen-eyed crew doesn’t find them first!
