A new patch for Sea of Thieves has sailed and is now available for download on all supported platforms. Update 2.10.1 brought many improvements, including the rewards that you can get by completing in-game activities.
Athena's Fortune Voyages
If you have played Sea of Thieves for a while now, you know that some of Athena's Fortune voyages take a bit longer to complete compared to other trading companies in the game. Developer Rare Studios thinks so too, which is why it has applied some improvements to make things a lot easier for you.
After updating the game's client to the latest version, you now only have to complete three quests in the first chapter of the Voyage of Legends, such as one "X Marks the Spot" Map, one Riddle Map, and one Bounty Map. This is a much-needed change because you had to finish eight different quests prior to Update 2.10.1.
The Ashen Voyage of Legends received some improvements as well. The quests are similar to the normal version except that the quests take place exclusively in The Devil's Roar. Once you have successfully completed the two chapters, you will be rewarded with an Ashen Chest of Legends for your efforts.

Performance Improvements
Update 2.10.1 has also implemented some performance improvements. For one, Sea of Thieves now supports both DirectX 11 and DirectX 12. If you are running a PC that is equipped with relatively modern hardware, it is recommended that you select DirectX 12 for better performance.
In addition, the game now operates on the latest Xbox Game Development Kit (GDK). To feel the difference, the company encourages you to install the latest drivers for your graphics card.
