Introduction
This article details where and how to obtain all the currently available Sea Bounties in the Western version of Lost Ark. In the current patch you may only acquire up to a maximum of 49 Sea Bounties, but eventually there will be more released.
The name Sea Bounty makes it seem like what you do for this collectible is grander than it actually seems. Basically, when you acquire a Secret Map, you are receiving a treasure map. The description of the Secret Map will tell you what Adventure you must find. For this specific Secret Map, you must find the Adventure: Statue of Gienah. Opening the Secret Map will show you a hint of where you can find the Adventure in the open sea. Once you have successfully located the Adventure (a golden telescope as shown below), you may encounter a scenic cutscene or nothing at all. You don't gain any actual "Sea Bounty" out of the Adventure itself, but rather for collecting a certain amount of them as detailed further below.
Most Secret Maps are time gated and cannot be grinded. The only valuable rewards come from higher collection numbers, specifically at 30, 34, 38, 40, and 44 Adventures. Because of this many players don't really prioritize on this type of collectible.
It's still important though, to be conscious of acquiring Secret Maps as you play the game. You are rewarded Tears of the Abyss for collecting 40 and 46 Adventures. Tears of the Abyss can be traded for artifact grade crew like Crew Application Form: Hwarin at Island of Mist. Prioritize other collection systems like Skill Point Potions, Giant's Hearts and Masterpieces, but don't forget to collect Sea Bounties as you play the game!
Sea Bounty Rewards
Upon completing a certain amount of Sea Bounties, you can unlock the rewards below. To collect these rewards, you must go to Peyto or Cradle of the Sea Fermata and speak to Vatius The Humpback Whale.

Strategy
- Other than the ones acquired through Adventure Tomes and the initial quest, all the other Secret Maps are time gated by either collection tokens, Rapport or RNG.
- If and when Secret Maps becomes your main focus, then these are the things you must do daily: Stronghold Dispatch,
Sea Cooperative Missions, Field Boss Spawns, Sea Gates, and Rapport.
Summary
- To acquire a Sea Bounty, you must first acquire a Secret Map. Once you have that, you can go treasure hunting for the relevant Adventure on the map.
- Successfully completing Secret Maps will let you unlock rewards for every 2 completions.
- Most Secret Maps cannot be acquired quickly and are time gated. Just play the game and you will eventually acquire them all!
