The Black Market Merchant

The Black Market Merchant

Initially arriving during the Rising Tides event, this disreputable person is found lurking outside Buccaneer’s Den Bank, he offers to buy maritime cargo for doubloons, and then reclaim the doubloons from you in exchange for his goods. There is a limit to the number of doubloons he will allow you to have in your account. When you reach 300,000 doubloons he insists that you buy from him before he will buy any further cargo from you.

His valuing of your cargo is a little eccentric, but he will pay, approximately:

• Grandmaster cargo 100 – 200 doubloons
• Exalted cargo 500 – 600 doubloons
• Legendary cargo 1000 – 1100 doubloons
• Mythical cargo 10,000+ doubloons
