Plan tasks

Black Market

Shop the Black Market for you, with a different rule for each currency.

What it does

Shops the in-game Black Market. For each currency you choose what it may buy. It shops the shelf, refreshes the market and shops the new shelf.

Where

Plan task: Duties ▸ Tasks ▸ Add to plan ▸ Black Market, with its settings on Task setup ▸ Black Market. Daily activity: Duties ▸ Daily activities ▸ Black Market. The two keep separate settings.

You need

Your city map with the Market mapped (City Mapper). Goods in Black Market, each with the right Buy with currencies. Gold, resources or gems to spend.

When it runs

Plan task: it spreads the day's refreshes over the game day, as fast as you choose in Finish it. Daily activity: once a game day. Use one of them, not both.

Black Market buys the goods you pick, on its own, every game day. You decide, currency by currency, whether it buys nothing, only the goods you pick, or everything on the shelf. You can also mark goods to buy again when the game offers a rebuy.

Set it up

1. Map the Market in City Mapper.
2. Check Resources ▸ Black Market. Each good needs the right Buy with currencies there. A good that is missing, or whose picture does not look like the game's tile, is never bought. See Black Market.
3. Open your instance, go to Task setup and click the Black Market card.
4. Click the Gold, Resources and Gems tabs one by one. On each, choose Nothing, Picked goods or Everything.
5. On a Picked goods tab, click the goods you want to light them up.
6. Set Refresh, the number of refreshes for a game day. Click Save changes.
7. Go to Duties ▸ Tasks and click Black Market under Add to plan. Then click its name to choose how fast it works through its refreshes.
8. Press Start if the instance is not running yet. Nothing runs until it is.

The daily activity's own controls

How it runs

• Before it walks anywhere, Evonex checks your settings. If every tab is on Nothing, it ends with no purchase type selected.
• It walks to the Market on your city map, taps Black Market and opens the window.
• Each good on the shelf is sold for one currency. Evonex buys it only when that currency's tab picked it, or is on Everything. A good marked for rebuy is bought again when the game shows a rebuy. Sold-out goods, goods you did not pick and goods you cannot afford are skipped.
• If the game says you are short of a currency, Evonex cancels the buy. It then skips every good sold for that currency for the rest of the visit.
• Then it taps refresh, checks that the shelf really changed, and shops the new shelf. If the shelf did not change, it taps refresh again. It repeats until your Refresh number is used up.
• It stops early in two cases: you are out of gems for a paid refresh, or nothing is left to buy with.
• If the market window closes in the middle, Evonex opens it again, up to three tries, and carries on without buying a good twice.
• The run ends with a line such as Refreshed 4× — bought 7 item(s) on Overview.
