JimmyHACK Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 (edited) So it uses near but applies to any PSN friend. Let's add each other, hunt down these bounties and share. ***I can't stress this enough. I see people saying how they have had this for days and aren't getting much. I have done 50+ trades in less than a week, and all the Fetishes (36 trades) within only 2 days, nonstop checking Near. Game Goods shared for Black Market only last 3 hours before expiring, so best to check often.*** Proper Steps: (actively Seeking DOES NOT matter) 1- Launch Black Market 2- Select yes to launch Near to check (can only refresh Near once an hour) 3- Hit OK 4- Hit the Near refresh button to start the process. 5- Location info shows, Hit OK 6- Select "Continue Near" 7- Wait for the Near refresh Icon to finish spinning. 8- Go to Game Goods and download any new trades. 9 - Press PS Button and continue Black Market on Uncharted GA Live Panel. 10- You will see it import new trades. **When exiting it may ask you to update you trades in Near, there is no point to this for two reasons. one, you can't refresh Near for another hour; two, when you launch Black Market next time you will check and update Near anyway. You can receive multiple trades from PSN Friends! Trading is automatic. When you receive something that means something else was sent. Wifi/3G models both work for this. (Wifi models just use IP to triangulate a location for Near) You DO NOT need to use Black Market to reach Platinum. It just helps you get Bounties faster/easier. The "Fetishes" are something you receive when Black Market can't find anything for you in trade with Near. There is a nice big new Fetish Collection... these are not linked to a trophy, but will be nice to have them all for 100% game completion. Game Goods shared for Black Market only last a few hours before expiring, so best to check often. Directions from manual (thanks XCrownedClownX): Remember to keep sharing to collect all the different Fetishes. There is no trophy linked to Fetishes but still it's nice to share and get everything in your collection. Once you have all the Bounties and Fetishes you can still be a nice treasure hunter and continue to share. You will notice received goods at this point will show up in the "Nothing" category, but you are still helping others! Scroll to later pages in the thread for easy list of people to friend request that are currently working on this. Currently have http://www.ps3trophies.org/forum/images/smilies/platinum.png and all Fetishes. http://i.imgur.com/JNJaaC5.png Edited May 19, 2016 by Sellers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osakamitsu Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 (edited) PSN: osakamitsu You should add some directions to how all this works and what we need to do. Im a little confused by this whole thing. Im only on chapter 4 but I plan to get really far tomorrow... EDIT: As of 2/29 I still need a lot so add me. And I have beaten the game almost twice now.

Kaero Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 PSN: XCrownedClownX Indeed, I'm rather confused as to exactly how the Black Market works, all I can seem to do is set a set I'm seeking items in =\ Also I'm on chapter 28 I believe.

markym Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Added you all, and had 3 Game Goods received, but two had expired by the time I accessed them! Seems you have to be quick, as soon only last 3 hours, so keep checking back regualry. So far only had one from each friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_jonath Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 I added everyone, you can add me if i didn't psn : JonathGariepy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyHACK Posted February 23, 2012 Author Share Posted February 23, 2012 Added all the newer people. Currently trying to see if we can only get 1 trade max from a friend or what. I update my Black market/Near about 8 times a day just to have it share when possible/receive when possible. Remember trades expire fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wirezd Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Once I open up the Black Market how do I set what I want to trade? Currently it says I'm actively seeking everything, including the set I've already completed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyHACK Posted February 23, 2012 Author Share Posted February 23, 2012 Once I open up the Black Market how do I set what I want to trade? Currently it says I'm actively seeking everything, including the set I've already completed. Once I change what I am actively seeking.. it SOMETIMES will ask me if i want to update what I am seeking on Near. I guess that's when. I have received items several times different from what group I am actively seeking though. SO it seems, at least for me, it grabs anything. Hope I can get all the Fetishes too. Even though there are no trophies for fetishes, it's a nice big set with some cool ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wirezd Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Yeah, but how do you change what you're actively seeking? :\ Bend did such a poor job of detailing how the Black Market actually works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
