Sea of Thieves Season 7 guide: What are Sovereigns and how to turn in loot to them

The much-anticipated Sea of Thieves Season 7 expansion is now live, and players will finally get to name their ships for the very first time, almost after four years after the title’s release.

However, ship Captaincy, new cosmetic loot, and achievements are not the only things that players need to look out for in Season 7. With the new update, the developer, Rare, has also added Sovereigns to the world, who act as a sort of quality-of-life feature for the adventurer.

Sovereigns are a Trading Company in Sea of Thieves where players can cash in their loot without having to carry the entire haul all the way back to the appropriate merchants on an Outpost.

Sovereigns significantly reduce the amount of time that players usually take to cash in on their loot, and they give the same amount of Gold or Doubloons in exchange. Hence, olayers are advised to turn in all their loot every time they encounter one.

Each of the seven Outposts in Sea of Thieves has its own Sovereigns, which are separate docks a bit distant from where the player’s ship spawns.
