The Black Market NPC in Slayers 2 sells exclusive cosmetics you can’t buy anywhere else, including the Akatsuki Straw Hat, but he never stays in one spot. Here’s everything I found after checking his spawn cycle and all 10 possible locations across the map.
Quick answer: The Black Marketer spawns every two hours on even server hours (2:00, 4:00, 6:00, 8:00, etc.) at one of 10 fixed spots across Hidden Mist Village, Mistfall Harbor, the Ice Village, Windy Peak, Butterfly Estate, and Beginner Village.
| Feature | Details |

| Spawn frequency | Every 2 hours, even-numbered times |
| Notification | “Black Marketer has entered town” |
| Total locations | 10 |
| Sells | Exclusive gear/cosmetics (e.g., Akatsuki Straw Hat) |
All 10 Black Market Spawn Locations
Once the notification pops up, I run through these spots in order of proximity instead of guessing:
- Hidden Mist Village – Near Yagane, close to the village spawn point.
- Mistfall Harbor Village – Underneath the bridge/pier, not on the road above it.
- Ice Village Shrine – Follow the Doma route south to a house in the snow village.
- Near Akaza (cave) – Teleport to Bamboo Grove or Windy Peak Shrine, enter the cave, then take the left path.
- Windy Peak Beginner Village – Just outside the village entrance, no cave needed.
- Butterfly Estate South – Jump the southern fence to find him outside the estate.
- Butterfly Estate East – Cross the bridge heading east, then check the outer edge.
- Butterfly Estate Pit – From the same bridge, head north then east until you hit a pit and drop down.
- Beginner Village House – Behind the noticeable house, climbing partway up.
- Butterfly Estate Fence – Along the inner fence line, no jumping required this time.
Why He’s Hard to Track Down
Half of these spawns are deliberately awkward: under a bridge, inside a cave, down a pit, or behind a fence. If you only check open ground in a village, you’ll walk right past him. The Butterfly Estate area alone accounts for four of the ten spots, so it’s worth memorizing that cluster first since you’ll likely hit one of its spawns most cycles.
His inventory also resets between appearances, so even if you already own the Akatsuki Straw Hat, it’s worth checking each time — he can carry other limited cosmetics and gear that don’t show up in normal shops.
Pro Tips for Faster Runs
- Park near a Butterfly Estate or Beginner Village shrine a minute before an even hour — spawns are timer-based, not random.
- Check hidden terrain first (under bridges, inside pits/caves, behind fences) before assuming he isn’t up.
- Use shrine fast travel between the Ice Village and Windy Peak clusters to cut rotation time in half.
