How to earn Trading Company Distinctions in Sea of Thieves

You can earn a Distinction in Sea of Thieves by reaching a reputation level of 100 with a Trading Company. This will reset your reputation level with the group and open up new rewards to grind toward.

It’s possible to reset your reputation this way five times, meaning you can earn up to five Distinctions with a company with a bunch of rewards to gain along the way. You can do this with several different Trading Companies, but not all of them have Distinctions available just yet.

At the time of writing this guide, the Trading Companies that give out Distinctions are the Gold Hoarders, Merchant Alliance, Athena’s Fortune, Reaper’s Bones, and the Order of Souls.

Trading Company Distinction rewards

Earning a Trading Company Distinction will unlock a Ring of Distinction cosmetic at the company’s shop. And yes, that means you still have to purchase the ring for 100,000 Gold.

When you reach a higher Distinction level with a Trading Company, the Ring of Distinction that you unlock will be more ornate than the last.
