Some Sea of Thieves players are finding they’re not getting gold or rep when completing a treasure hunt. This is incredibly frustrating since grinding these two resources is a big part of the title’s gameplay loop. Here are some potential fixes for the issue in 2022.
Sea of Thieves not getting gold or rep bug fix 2022
The main culprit for the Sea of Thieves not getting gold or rep bug is server issues. The game has had problems with client-to-server interactions since it was launched in 2018. Many players will have noticed there’s a bit of lag between the game acknowledging a gold or rep payout and the sum being added to their total. However, sometimes this gets stuck for longer.
It can be a pain when you don’t immediately get your gold or rep in Sea of Thieves, but it will typically show up in a few hours. But, if the servers are particularly slow, it might take a day or two. Unfortunately, there’s not much you can do to influence the process. The issue is more than likely on Microsoft’s end, and you’ll have to keep an eye on the Sea of Thieves official Twitter and the Xbox Live status page and wait for devs to rectify the problem.
You can try a few things to get things working on your end. However, be aware that all the money and rep calculations are handled on the server, and your ability to do anything about the glitch is limited.
Some players have reported that logging out and logging back into Sea of Thieves triggered the server to log their gold and rep collectively. However, others said that didn’t help at all, so don’t be disappointed if you return and you find your totals are still wrong.
Reinstalling the game might help as well. However, again since the currency totals are calculated server-side, it likely won’t do anything to cure your ails.
