Palworld: Black Market trader locations

Players say every major region has a black market trader, though so far, we’ve only found a few.

Hillside Palworld Black Market trader 

The first place you can find a Black Market traderis near the Desolate Church in the Hillside region. Start from that fast travel point, and head west until you reach roughly this part of the map. It’s a bit confusing, as the mineshaft you want is at ground level, though the map image makes it look like it’s on top of the rocks. Anyway, drop down to the ground level near the road, and follow it to the mineshaft.

Mt Obsidian Black Market trader

The second one we found is right next to the ocean on the volcano’s southwestern side. This one’s pretty hard to miss, since he’s standing out in the open.

Is it worth finding a Black Market vendor?

Sort of. It mainly depends on what you’re after. The Black Market vendors have a small selection of Pals for sale, usually a mix of common Pals you can find in the area and one or two rare ones. Their levels seem to be consistent and – in my experience, at least – are several levels below your current level and strongest Pals.

Their stats, work abilities, and moves are the same as if you caught them in the wild, though you can see what their personalities are like. Unless there’s a Pal you can’t find in the wild, there’s not really a reason to spend thousands of gold on one from the Black Market vendor.

However, you can sell Pals you don’t want or need anymore – and that includes humans. If you captured human Syndicate thugs, the Black Market vendor takes them off you for a few hundred coins. It’s useful, but also probably best not to think too closely about it.
