Leveling up with Trading Companies

There are 10 Trading Companies in Sea of Thieves, each offering a separate set of missions that players may do to gain gold and emissaries. As of Season 11, most Trading Companies have had their level cap increased.

Players must level up the reputation of three of the eight Trading Companies to Level 50 to advance to Pirate Legend rank. Leveling up is not difficult but is time-consuming.

Leveling up reputation requires players to undertake quests and voyages from the trading company. These voyages range from collecting specific items to hunting down fabled skeleton captains. Completing these quests will gradually increase your reputation with the Trading Company, thereby boosting your level.

Players will be able to buy the Level 50 promotion once they have achieved Level 50 with a corporation. Purchasing promotions will speed up the leveling process in the future by introducing fresher, more lucrative tasks.

At outposts, players may purchase these promotions from Trading Company representatives. It is important to note that they must buy the level 50 promotions and commendations for all three Trading Companies they are grinding.

Once this is done, players just need to head to the Mysterious Stranger and have a short conversation with him. The character has blue-green glowing eyes and can be found in the tavern at all outposts, usually on the top left diagonal corner once you enter the taverns.
