Engineers Where can I find illegal goods to sell to the black market?

I'm trying to get the attention of The Dweller, and I need to do some black market dealing. Now that I've found a system with a black market, I'm a little confused as to how you find illegal goods to sell to them. I know I can buy goods at one location that are illegal in another, but I don't know where to start.

Does anyone have a particular system they know of where I can buy stuff like that?

Use EDDB. You can plug in your current location, and pick what item you're looking for, and it'll show you the closest bases that sell it.

To figure out what to buy, see what the black market is offering to buy. Or check the station out in the system map--should list all banned commodities. You generally can't go wrong with battle weapons and nerve agents, but slaves / imperial slaves are often banned too, as well as personal weapons, narcotics, etc.

I guess illegal salvage, or pirated (not abandoned) cargo work too.

I still find it odd that the black market is so openly advertised right next to the police fines department. Surely even the least keen most doughnut eating of cops could figure something out...

I'm not sure if this still works, but if you accept a transport mission, and then abandon the mission, you are stuck with the cargo, and you could before sell that to the black market. It used to work.


If you have a friend, lket him/her buy stuff in the market, and just dump them for you to pickup...
A few notices, you cannot be in the same wing when doing this and your friend cannot choose the abandon option.

FD have blocked this from working in the same station you took the missions.

Illegal rare goods are one of the easiest and most reliable illegal goods to find. Some of these require permits, and others aren't available for sale, but there are still a few that are easy to get.

The most reliably illegal rare goods are:

  • Onionhead from Harvestport, Kappa Fornacis
  • Tarach Spice from Tranquility, Tarach Tor
  • Borasetani Pathogenetics from Katzenstein Terminal, Borasetani
  • HIP 118311 Swarm from Lubbock Market, HIP 118311

I believe you can also find illegal salvage in some degraded USS and many NPC ships will drop illegal salvage items when damaged. I know I have seen plenty of illegal salvage floating around a RES after fighting pirates.

Whenever you see an illegal canister just scoop it up and sell it at the nearest black market. As far as I know illegal salvage is illegal everywhere, unlike the commodities mentioned above which are only illegal in specific system types.

the dweller only requires trade at 5 markets
nothing about anything special or rare

all needed is something illegal been sold at a black market (5 diffrent markets)

so, you can dump things and pick em up again to make those illegal
drop into USS and collect them
kill NPCs and collect them there

Just find systems with black markets, have a look at what is illegal at the stations with the black markets and then go and fetch some of that - weapons or slaves (morality aside) are usually a good bet, so find somewhere you can buy them and then just tootle around black markets selling them. If you're careful you can make a tidy profit too!

Note: Onionhead does NOT show as illegal goods anymore...not even at a Felicia Winters port... the Fed's were the one's to make it illegal too! (n)

I was doing Ochosi runs for Feds reputation. The Dweller was next to unlock so I was searching for black markets. Apparently there are few close to Ochosi. I bought illegal goods at Wyrd system. Sold at outposts near Ochosi. Done with low emission phantom but never got scanned at outpost anyway.

Pro tip: you only need to sell to 5 different black markets, not 5 black markets in different systems. If you find a system that has several stations relatively close to each other with black markets, you can divide your illegal cargo between them and get credited for each of the black markets you sold at.

Yes, I have tested this. I unlocked the dweller on my alt account by dividing up a load of illegal goods (I'm pretty sure it was weapons of some kind) between 4 different stations in the same system and selling a few tons of illegal goods (it was probably salvage of some kind) at another black market on the other side of the bubble.

Slaves from imperial system.
Sell themat black markets in non-imp systems. Easily done in 30-40 min. Just research for black market stations beforehand.
