The Palworld black market is a hidden feature of the game where you can buy and sell contraband items, such as rare Pals, humans, and illegal weapons. The black market is run by shady NPCs called Black Marketeers, who can be found in various locations across the map. Here is a guide on how to access, use, and benefit from the Palworld black market.
How to Access the Black Market
To access the black market, you need to find a Black Marketeer NPC and talk to them. They will offer you a menu where you can buy or sell contraband items. However, finding a Black Marketeer is not easy, as they are usually hidden in remote or dangerous areas, such as caves, ruins, or islands. You may need to use a flying or swimming Pal to reach some of them.
There are lots of Black Marketeers in the game, and their locations are as follows:
- In an abandoned mine that is to the west of the Desolate Church.
- To the west of the PIDF Tower Entrance.
- You can find one at the Dunshelter Ruins, just outside
- To the west of the Beach of Everlasting Summery.
- On the Eastern Wild Island, north of the desert biome, near an Isolated Island Cavern.
- On the Volcano Island, south of the volcano, in a small hut.
How to Use the Black Market
Once you find a Black Marketeer, you can interact with them and choose to buy or sell contraband items. The items that they sell or buy are random and change every day, so you may need to check back often to find what you want. You can exit the menu, fast travel, or sleep to refresh their stock.
The items that the Black Marketeers sell include:
- Rare and common Pals, such as Jetragon, Warsect, or Jormuntide.
- Humans can be used for labor, breeding, or combat.
- Illegal weapons, such as rocket launchers, flamethrowers, or miniguns.
The items that the Black Marketeers buy include:
- Any Pals or humans that you have in your party or Palbox, regardless of their origin or ownership.
- Any contraband items that you have acquired from other sources, such as dungeons, raids, or theft.
The prices of the items vary depending on their rarity, quality, and demand. You can use Gold or Paldium to buy or sell items, but some items may require a specific currency.
How to Benefit from the Black Market
The black market can be a useful source of income, resources, and entertainment in Palworld. You can benefit from the black market by:
- Buying rare and powerful Pals that can help you in combat, exploration, or work.
- Buying a human that can perform various tasks for you, such as farming, mining, crafting, or fighting.
- Buying illegal weapons can give you an edge in battles, raids, or wars.
- Selling unwanted or extra Pals or humans that you have captured or bred, and earn Gold or Paldium.
- Selling contraband items that you have looted or stolen, and make a profit.
However, the black market also comes with some risks and drawbacks, such as:
- The Black Marketeers may not always have the items that you want or may charge exorbitant prices for them.
- The Black Marketeers may not always buy the items that you have or may offer low prices for them.
- The Black Marketeers may betray you, attack you, or report you to the authorities if they sense danger or opportunity.
- The black market activities may attract unwanted attention from the PIDF, the rebels, or other players, who may try to stop you, rob you, or kill you.
- The black market items may have hidden defects, curses, or traps, that may harm you or your Pals.
Therefore, you should be careful and cautious when dealing with the black market, and weigh the pros and cons of each transaction. The black market is not for the faint of heart, but for those who seek adventure, challenge, and reward in Palworld.
