# Black Market Merchant

The black market merchant is a shady character - he only comes to the docks behind the spawn in the main world (<mark style="color:green;">/spawn</mark>) in the dead of night at 00:00 and disappears again already at 05:00.

If the black market trader is there, he has only one item on sale per night. He can sell [<mark style="color:blue;">TP Fruits</mark>](https://wiki.landania.net/english/farming-and-resources/tp-fruits), enchanted books and other special items.&#x20;

**But be careful!** If the black market trader is in a bad mood, he will cheat you. There's a 30% chance that he'll take your coins, but he won't give you any items in return. \
So you should think twice if you really want to trade with the black market trader.
