When you finish the requirements for most of the Sea of Thieves Curses on the list, they will automatically go to your Vanity Chest. From there, you can equip what you want and they will always be available to reapply if you want to bring them back. One of the only cosmetics that won’t directly unlock in the Vanity Chest is the Legendary Blessing of Athena’s Fortune. For that, you must go to the shop before you can test it out.
