Black Marketeers are NPCs in Palworld 1.0 who’ll let you buy and sell Pals, and some of them may be rare and Contraband Pals that can only be obtained via the black market. Not only are Black Marketeers an excellent way to offload Pals you no longer need for some extra cash, but if you’re feeling flush, you can buy your way to dominance by purchasing some otherwise hard-to-come-by Pals.
Black Marketeers are scattered all over the map in Palworld, but there are a few locations where they can be found easily from fast travel points. If you’re already over level 40, you can even try to catch them and have them permanently moved to your base, where you can use their shady services whenever you like.
Where can you find Black Marketeers?
There are 7 key locations where you can easily visit some Black Marketeers; these are the following spots:
Desolate Church (Abandoned Mineshaft)
Fast-travel to the Desolate Church and head west off the nearby cliff. You’ll see the entrance to the Abandoned Mineshaft to the east, so head over there to find the Black Marketeer.
Sealed Realm of the Frozen Wings
This one is straightforward; head to where you met Penking and then go southeast to the nearby woodland. The Black Marketeer will be here, standing in the grass below a rocky ridge.
Mount Flopie Summit
Fast-travel to the Mount Flopie Summit and head over to the nearby waterfall. You’ll find a hole with the Black Marketeer hiding inside.
Ruined Fortress City
Another easy one: go west from the Ruined City Fortress until you find some ruins. This is where another Black Marketeer calls home.
Duneshelter
Fast-travel to Duneshelter and follow the city walls until you bump into the Black Marketeer not far from some palm trees. He’s easy to spot.
Icy Weasel Hill
Fast-travel to Icy Weasel Hill and fly northwest until you spot a Black Marketeer standing by the edge of the cliff.
Sealed Realm of the Winged Tyrant (Cove Mineshaft)
Fast-travel to the Sealed Realm of the Winged Tyrant and head west over the nearby cliff and towards a bridge. The Black Marketeer is hiding under it.
