If you consider yourself a patient pirate, pursuing the Hunter of Treacherous Plunder Commendation achievement in Sea of Thieves might be worthwhile. Unlocking this Commendation grants its labeled Title, along with progression in Merrick’s Accolades. The reason this achievement requires patience is that it involves a less swashbuckling pastime — fishing. Of course, fishing can be relaxing and enjoyable, as it serves as a break from battle engagements on the seas. However, you’ll need a stalwart mind and soul to grind out the Sea of Thieves Hunter of Treacherous Plunder achievement.
Unlocking the Hunter of Treacherous Plunder Commendation in Sea of Thieves
To get the Hunter of Treacherous Plunder Title in Sea of Thieves, you must deliver 50 Pieces of Treacherous Plunder to The Hunter’s Call. “Treacherous Plunder” refers to pieces of unusable junk that can only be sold to Merrick. These miscellaneous items include Wooden Planks and Ashen Keys. However, these two specific objects do not count toward the Commendation’s progression.
Here’s a list of items that do count toward achieving the Hunter of Treacherous Plunder Commendation in Sea of Thieves, along with their descriptions:
| Treacherous Plunder | Description | Selling Price |
| Old Boot |
| Gold × 1o |
| Old Hat |
| Gold × 1o |
| Old Skull |
| Gold × 1o |
| Fish Bones |
| Gold × 1o |
These four pieces of Treacherous Plunder can only be caught when angling without Bait. As a result, the best strategy for farming junk objects is fishing at Sea of Thieves Freshwater Ponds. Inland Ponds where you can discover Pondies are ideal, as you can catch trash with little downtime. However, the time required to unlock the Hunter of Treacherous Plunder Title in Sea of Thieves will vary, depending on your luck with RNG.
We recommend you grind Freshwater-Pond fishing with multiple crew members to speed up the process in Sea of Thieves. Endeavoring for the Treacherous Plunder Title is doable alone, but companions working together will optimize junk discovery. Here’s a video by fiddlemonger showing what the process looks like:
