A black market is an island attraction building placed on a medium or large island. Players can purchase black boxes from them, which have a random item inside.

Attraction buildings are nearly identical to regular infrastructure buildings: they change ownership along with an island's governance and they do not count against an island's building limit on medium islands. There are however a few differences:

  • Attraction buildings typically have a higher tax rate than standard buildings, and decay a week after failing to have their taxes paid. A black market has a base tax of 20,000 PoE.
  • A limited number of attractions can be built on a given island: 1 on medium islands and 2 on large islands. Outpost islands cannot build attractions.
  • Only one of each type of attraction can be built on an island at a time.
  • Each attraction building has a different effect when it is built. A black market will increase the density of brigands and barbarians around nearby leagues.

Use

A black market sells black boxes for 10,000 PoE each. These are identical to presents in functionality, but they come with a random item inside of them. Each black box is labeled with a series number, which indicates the set of items possible inside. The probability of each item in a Series 2 black box is as follows (see Official:Black Box for the official list):

Trinkets

The numbers in parenthesis are the black box series in which the specified trinket may be found.
