Festival Of Giving
December 16th – January 2nd
Even pirates like a little relaxation at the end of the year, and they’re not above throwing wild and colourful celebrations to do it. So was born the Festival of Giving! Don’t hesitate to join in these festivities packed with events and opportunities and rewards.
Welcome to the Festival
It’s that time of year again, friends! As 2022 draws to a close, the Sea of Thieves once more plays host to the Festival of Giving to celebrate all that’s been accomplished across another year of adventuring. There’s going to be a lot going on over the next few weeks, so here’s a handy guide to make sure you don’t miss out!
Tavern Decoration Stream
December 16th (6:15pm UTC)
The Festival begins! And this year we brought everyone together to kick things off with a livestream of the festive tavern lights being switched on. We also took the opportunity to look back over everything that this community has achieved in the last year and celebrated our shared accomplishments!
Your Story So Far
December 12th – January 11th (10am UTC)
A lot can happen in a year spent sailing the Sea of Thieves, and keeping track of everything you’ve achieved can be a challenge even for the most dedicated Logbook devotee. Not to worry though, we’ve been taking notes for you! Check out Your Story So Far for a selected statistical recap of your life of piracy.
The Orb Returns
December 16th – December 19th (10am UTC)
The mighty and powerful Orb has graced us with its presence once more! Not only is it going to be surfing the streaming seas with generous Drops, it’s sharing more lore hints as teasers for the year ahead. Even better, attentive players have the chance to track down their very own in-game Orb if they can follow the clues…
