All 15 merchants and where to find them.
Palworld has almost exceeded a whopping 20 million players in less than a month since launch, and players are continuing to build up their Pals for battle.
While searching the open world of the Palpagos Islands is by far the most optimum way to discover new creatures, there’s another handy shortcut that gets you some Pals much quicker.
This is the Black Marketeer, a strange NPC with yellow eyes and wide-grinning teeth who is willing to swap gold for different Pals.

What’s useful about the Black Marketeer is that their inventory gets changed on a daily basis.
What’s not so useful is discovering their locations – often hidden away in caves, mineshafts and clifftops – which are difficult to spot.
That’s why we’ve outlined where to find every Black Marketeer in Palworld with this handy guide. Head below for all the locations.
Palworld Black Marketeer locations
There are 15 Black Marketeer NPCs scattered across the Palpagos Islands, by our count.
These can be found displayed on the map above (via Mapgenie).
An easy way to spot one of the merchants is to look out for some flags. These indicate that you’re close to the Black Marketeer’s store.
