Sea of Thieves lays out player progression and mission types

If you’ve been paying attention to Sea of Thieves, you may have noticed that Rare’s game isn’t hewing to the traditional RPG stats and mechanics. In fact, there are no character levels and stat gear at all. So that raises the question: What do you chase and how do you progress in this MMO?

A new dev video explains all of this. Basically, players will pursue cosmetics and reputation in the three NPC factions, earning better rewards the greater their legend grows. Each faction focuses on different mission types: The Gold Horders are all about treasure hunting, the Merchant Alliance places priorities on trade shipments and livestock retrieval, and the Order of Souls wants you to get into scraps with the undead to retrieve their skulls.

Players can pick up “voyages” (i.e. quests) from these factions, but the higher their reputation, the better and more lucrative these voyages become. Voyages can be shared among crews, and there are no barriers to sharing and engaging in these missions between crew members.
