A confident pirate stands in a port town with a sword over their shoulder looking at you as a fireworks display fills the sky behind them. Another pirate can be seen sitting, enjoying a grog, while another is lugging a hefty chest of Doubloons along the street. A sign on the image reads "Sea of Thieves Bilge Rats Weekender".
Our first ever Bilge Rats Weekender is live! Until April 20th (10am UTC), set out to tackle quirky Challenges, scrap over smuggling routes or reel in some fish, all in the pursuit of Doubloons to spend on various wares! Or just enjoy the fireworks, up to you.
Pirates, this is your one hour-ish warning! Time to cash in your loot and drop anchor for a small while. The Sea of Thieves servers will be offline from approximately 9am UTC.
From improvements to Outpost cosmetics and some Community Direct clarifications to early details regarding an experiment we'll be conducting with Raid Voyages, it must be time for a fresh Developer Update! Grab a snack and join Drew in the tavern when you're ready: https://youtu.be/jZok3EUmOo8
This exchange rate was chosen as a match for the most generous one that players have historically been able to access (by purchasing Bilge Rat's Hoards with the maximum Community Weekend multiplier active). This way, all players receive the best value for their Doubloons!
With tomorrow's update, your Doubloons (excluding any earned through Season 19 Renown) will be automatically converted to gold at a rate of 1 Doubloon to 500 gold. This will follow automatic purchase of any commemorative Doubloon Hoarder cosmetics covered by your Doubloon total.

Attention pirates! The Sea of Thieves servers will be taken offline tomorrow, April 16th, at approximately 9am UTC so we can hang the bunting and prepare the fireworks for the first Bilge Rats Weekender! Please plan your Voyages accordingly.
