The Chest of Fortune in Sea of Thieves is an extremely rare treasure that is associated with the Gold Hoarders. The unique chest moves to a new location each season. In season ten, the Chest of Fortune was found in the Fort of Fortune vault. In season eleven, it is located elsewhere.

Selling the Chest of Fortunte to the Gold Hoarders will help you progress the Fortune Favour’s commendation, so it is in your best interest to find the scarce chest. If you complete Grade One of the Fortune’s Favour commendation, you’ll be rewarded wiith the Fates of Fortune Ship cosmetics. Finding each relocated Chest of Fortune will present additional Grade achievements which will unlock more cosmetics.
