Ancient Coins

    Hello, so recently i bought some ancient coins from G2A but they were not reflected on my game account, although the code was successfully redeemed from xbox, the amount is not yet to be found.

    The code was redeemed about 72 hours ago, I contacted Xbox support and was advised to contact sea of thieves support, they in turn asked me to wait for 72 hours.

    72 hours already passed and the amount is still not showing.

    Yes I unlinked my account and linked it back with no results.

    I'm hoping to get some help from you guys, Thanks.

    @imjustttsam You mentioned 'linking' account; are you playing from Steam?

    Assuming you didn't get G2A scammed, you need to launch the Windows Store version of the game in order for the coins to be activated. Sea of Thieves support are the only people who can help you.

    They added the amount manually eventually
    so what you're saying that G2A is not a reliable source?

    @imjustttsam It's a grey market key reseller. Some are legit, and some are not (purchased with stolen credit cards and resold). It's not uncommon to have keys revoked because the original purchase gets revoked due to fraud.

    Unless the source has a strong connection to Rare/SoT/Microsoft specifically it's a risk for something like ancient coins.

    Imo it's never really worth the hassle it could create by saving some money. Always a chance you end up without the currency and with a bunch of wasted/stressful time.

    If you wanna save some money on SoT stuff I would recommend microsoft rewards for a safe and secure way to do that. (If you don't already). You can earn points and flip them for giftcards and I think there are even ancient coin packs as rewards now too.

    Quite a few dedicated participants pay for gamepass that way as well as extra coins for cosmetics/emporium stuff.

    For future reference, if you buy coins/bundles through Microsoft Store, you need to launch the game through Microsoft/Xbox for it to apply. Same if you buy things through Steam, then you need to start the Steam version of the game for it to apply to the account. I do believe you can contact support too and they can update it manually but it's just faster to start the game at that point.
