Black markets are faction-operated wholesale depots, not public NPC shops. The current core lets separately authorized ranks view the live catalogue, order goods with organization funds, inspect depot stock, and withdraw real traceable items for later player distribution. The depot core is verified. This guide remains a draft because the newer supply goods ordered through the same flow have not finished their restart, concurrency, and in-game verification.

This guide omits fencing, item scrubbing, cannabis seeds, lockpicks, packaging, growing, exact products, and prices while those extensions remain under verification.

Check depot and rank access

Go to an active depot operated by the current faction. Viewing, ordering, and withdrawing are separate rank capabilities; access to one action does not imply access to all of them.

Use /ranks through the faction guide when authority is unclear. Depot locations and stock information are character knowledge and should not be carried between unrelated characters.

Review the live catalogue and stock

Use the catalogue action under /bm to see goods currently available for wholesale ordering. Use the stock action to inspect items already held by the depot.

The in-game lists are authoritative. This guide names only broad established categories such as packaged weapons, ammunition, and drug lots; it does not reproduce product keys, bundle sizes, prices, or order limits.

References from depot stock are contextual. Refresh the stock list after any order or withdrawal.

Place an order

  1. Confirm the intended active depot and ordering permission.
  2. Review the current catalogue.
  3. Check the faction account through /obank.
  4. Use the order action under /bm with a current product and quantity.
  5. Wait for the final delivery and payment result.
  6. Reopen depot stock and the faction account before ordering again.

Orders are immediate; there is no player cancellation after delivered goods have entered depot stock. The final message says whether the whole order, only part of it, or none of it was delivered, and only delivered units are charged. Reopen depot stock and the faction account after a partial result before ordering the shortfall.

If the result says the order could not be recorded, or that it failed with no payment retained, check the account and stock before retrying. If it reports a quarantined result or asks for staff review, stop retrying and preserve that exact message.

Withdraw depot stock

  1. Open a fresh stock list.
  2. Select the intended current item and supported amount.
  3. Use the take action under /bm.
  4. Wait for success, then check /inventory.
  5. Refresh depot stock before another withdrawal.

A failed withdrawal grants nothing. Correct carrying room, authorization, or changed-stock conditions before trying again.

Distribute goods to another player

Once withdrawn, the item follows its owning inventory domain. Use /give for a voluntary handover; the recipient reviews and accepts or declines the offer.

Faction authority does not force another player to accept an item or a negotiated sale. Money terms, roleplay consent, and custody are separate results. Packaged weapons, ammunition, and drug lots must follow their own handling restrictions.

Recover from common problems

  • No depot resolves: return to the correct active faction depot and use the current location feedback.
  • An action is unauthorized: review faction rank access; catalogue, order, and take are separate capabilities.
  • A product is refused: refresh the live catalogue rather than using a copied product key.
  • Only part of the order arrived: the result says so, and only the delivered units were charged. Reopen depot stock and organization funds, then order the shortfall rather than repeating the whole request.
  • The result is quarantined or asks for staff review: stop ordering and retain the exact message.
  • A stock reference is stale: reopen the stock list after another member or order changes it.
  • Withdrawal fails: make carrying room, refresh stock, and verify take authority.
  • Distribution fails: recheck personal inventory and use the ordinary consent offer again only after correcting the refusal.
