Why do you need to increase your reputation in Sea of Thieves?

Reputation is a progression system designed to bring diversity into the game. By earning reputation points, players can increase their relationship with different trading companies, which in turn provide access to their goods. The goods include cosmetics for character and ship customization, titles, and other items.

How do you level your reputation in Sea of Thieves?

There are several ways to improve your reputation with in-game factions, and the most common one that works with all of them is by delivering treasures and items associated with a specific faction. For instance, The Hunter’s Call is a group of fishermen who specialize in fish and meat. So, players can boost their reputation with the faction by providing them with meat, fish, container chests, and other items associated with the company. Representatives of a faction can be found at an outpost.
