• Go to the Pirate Emporium.
• Navigate to the Pirate tab.
• Find the Pirate Appearance Potion.
• Purchase the potion.
• Close and restart Sea of Thieves.
• Select your new pirate.

The Pirate Appearance Potion costs 149 Ancient Coins, which is about $2. Once you have purchased the potion, you can continue to close and reopen Sea of Thieves to refresh your pirate selection. We recommend sticking with it until you find one you like; otherwise, you will have to pay money or Ancient Coins again to change your character. Alternatively, you can head to Settings and delete your pirate in the Pirate Profile tab, which will remove all progress.

Should you change your character in Sea of Thieves?

Ultimately this is up to you. If you decide to change your character for a new pirate, we recommend using the Pirate Appearance Potion so that you can keep your progress. If you are just starting and have nothing to lose but want a different pirate, then you can use the delete pirate option. Consider what cosmetics and progress you have made before changing your pirate.
