A lil somethin somethin: You can find the details for this event on the announcement page here.
Check out the launch release notes[www.seaofthieves.com] if you want the fully itemised Season Nine feature set, then read on to find out what else is addressed in this month's update. When you're ready to set sail, don't forget to pay a visit to the Outpost you once knew as Golden Sands...
Pirate Emporium Hygiene is important! That's why those seafaring plague doctors wear masks, although it doesn't explain the state of their dubious tools. If the Sawbones ship set, clothing, weapons and Trinket don't grab you, snap up a Plunder Pass, some quickfire emotes or the monthly freebie!
Season Nine Plunder Pass
- Anyone wishing to take full advantage of Season Nine rewards can still buy the Plunder Pass. Any rewards unlocked will become available upon purchase, so players who have raised their Renown throughout Season Nine can instantly see their hard work rewarded before the Season ends.
- This Season’s Plunder Pass offers early access to the complete Sting Tide Ship Collection and evolving Sting Tide Costume, and can be purchased at any time through the Pirate Log, Pirate Emporium or Steam Item Store.
- Spread your medical 'expertise' across the Sea of Thieves with the Sawbones Ship Collection. Collector's Sails and Figurehead are available to purchase separately.
- Pirates looking for the bare necessities can instead choose the Sawbones Essential Ship Bundle, containing the core components at a discount.
- Don the mask of those who do not falter in the face of pestilence with these well-worn items of medical gear. Pirates are free to purchase the hat, gloves, belt and jacket individually, or all four items bundled together at a discount.
- This bundle of weapons might have seen better days, but they'll never fail to get the job done.
- Captains in dire need of a flask of eyeballs to decorate their ship can now pick up this grim Trinket at the Emporium.
- A pirate knows better than to enter any situation unarmed, so be ready to react with this weapon-specific emote.
- Collect this freebie from the Emporium and show enthusiasm for your crew’s most impressive feats. Or explosions.
- Medical science is a developing field, but still as rough and ready as anything else on the Sea of Thieves. For now, you can at least look the part and come equipped for spontaneous procedures! The Sawbones' Surgery Bundle contains the Sawbones Clothing Bundle and Weapon Bundle, the Quick Draw Weapon Pose Emote, 550 Ancient Coins to spend in the Pirate Emporium and a free bonus of 25,000 gold. Head to the Steam Item Store to find out more.

- Continue to unlock cosmetics throughout Season Nine with Twitch Drops! Stay tuned to Sea of Thieves social channels to find out when Twitch Drops will be active for Partnered streamers, allowing players to earn a selection of items from the Eastern Winds Sapphire set.
