The Black Market Merchant

The Black Market Merchant

<h3>The Black Market Merchant</h3> 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. <a href="https://uo.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/hs-blackmarket.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-19349" src="https://uo.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/hs-blackmarket.jpg" alt="" width="625" height="462" /></a> His valuing of your cargo is a little eccentric, but he will pay, approximately: <ul> <li>Grandmaster cargo 100 - 200 doubloons</li> <li>Exalted cargo 500 - 600 doubloons</li> <li>Legendary cargo 1000 - 1100 doubloons</li> <li>Mythical cargo 10,000+ doubloons</li> </ul> His inventory consists of: Initial Inventory, beginning of the Rising Tides event <ul> <li>a 'Powder Monkey' title deed, 10,000 doubloons</li> <li>a wooden Wood Carving of [Ship's Name] Named with a random famous ship, <a href="https://uo.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/hs-wood-carving.gif"><img class="size-full wp-image-19350 alignnone" src="https://uo.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/hs-wood-carving.gif" alt="" width="31" height="54" /></a>or if yer lucky - named after you! 15,000 doubloons</li> <li>a shoulder parrot, as seen on his shoulder, 100,000 doubloons. <a href="https://uo.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/hs-parrot-epaulettes.gif"><img class="size-full wp-image-19351 alignnone" src="https://uo.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/hs-parrot-epaulettes.gif" alt="" width="33" height="32" /></a></li> </ul> Inventory expanded, month 2: <ul> <li>a 'Botswain' title deed, 15,000 doubloons</li> <li>a Blundercannon, 25,000 doubloons <a href="https://uo.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/blunder-cannon.gif"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-19461" src="https://uo.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/blunder-cannon.gif" alt="" width="57" height="78" /></a></li> <li>a decorative Dragon Cannon 120,000 doubloons <a href="https://uo.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/dragon-cannon.gif"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-19462" src="https://uo.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/dragon-cannon.gif" alt="" width="74" height="82" /></a></li> </ul> <strong>Inventory expanded, month 3</strong> <ul> <li>A 'Sailing Master' title deed, 20,000 doubloons</li> <li>A Mysterious Statue, 35,000 doubloons<a href="https://uo.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/hs-nixie-statue.gif"><img class="size-full wp-image-19670 alignnone" src="https://uo.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/hs-nixie-statue.gif" alt="" width="105" height="102" /></a></li> <li>A Triton Pet , 140,000 doubloons <img class="size-full wp-image-19671 alignnone" src="https://uo.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/triton.gif" alt="" width="43" height="21" /> <ul> <li>(this item can be claimed by any character but is redeemable only by a Grandmaster tamer)<a href="https://uo.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/triton.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-19672 aligncenter" src="https://uo.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/triton.jpg" alt="" width="281" height="114" /></a></li> <li>When using Animal Training on this pet it is considered to be 'spawned' at the location where it is redeemed from the statue.
