Gold Hoarders Emissary Guide

How to Become an Emissary

Gold Hoarders Emissary License

You can become a Gold Hoarders Emissary by purchasing a trading company's Emissary License from the company shop, which allows you to raise an Emissary Flag.

You can raise the Emissary Flag at the table next to the Gold Hoarders company representative in all Outposts. Doing this makes you an emissary for the company, allowing you to rank up your Emissary Grade, and raise your Emissary Value.

Emissary Grades

Emissary Grades

Emissary Grades are tied to the Emissary Flag you are currently sailing. Completing Voyages while flying the Gold Hoarders' flag will advance your Emissary Grade for the Gold Hoarders, thus earning you highly increased rewards.

Gold Hoarders Emissaries have five Grades that you can rank up by completing Voyages as an Emissary. Within each Grade are separate Tiers that you work towards to unlock new Titles and cosmetics.

Note that flying an Emissary Flag makes you a target for Grade Five Reaper's Bones Emissaries.

Emissary Value

Increasing your Emissary Value will put you on the global leaderboard called the Emissary Ledger. Placing on the leaderboard will earn you great rewards like Titles and company Sails.
