Black Market Boosting Thread

[JimmyHACK]

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 Pane.
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!



Patch 1.02 released for Uncharted: Golden Abyss. Fixes issues found with stat resets, trophies, Black Market, and more!


Currently have and all Fetishes.

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.

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.

I took screens of the explanation of the black market in the instruction manual for th game:

Sent you all a friend invite. Just need the rest of the bounties to get platinum, so hopefully we can trade!

I currently have:
Pieces of Silver: 21/30
Cadiz: 18/30
Spanish Gold: 29/30
Gemstones: 27/30
Arcana Major: 15/21
Farming takes ages and there seem to be no easy ways to collect?

psn: markym

[JimmyHACK]

Yeah I took the same screens, great minds think alike. Will update them once i setup second vita later today.

[hosteltragedy]

I'd like to try out the Black market as I got through the game.
