WARNING
Although keys are given for FREE, and that's a great thing to get for FREE, there is NO sure-fire way to get a specific item from the chest. It is advised NOT to expect ANY prize from the chest to avoid frustration. Pixonic does NOT guarantee a win, no matter how many (or how few) chests were opened, or real money spent.
Please restrain yourself from spending ANY money you are not comfortable to spend for no particular result. Chances to win great prizes are far less than during the 3rd Anniversary event held in May 2017. Because of this, players who don't intend to spend money or have little gold SHOULD NOT SPEND ANY on the Black Market apart from the first two or three as prices are vastly inflated beyond that.
Introduction
Black Market is just another name for infinite chests that can be opened, Event-style. Player must be above level 5 to use it. Player receives special tokens, key-shaped, for every battle he played through. Amount or keys depends on the final standings, and varies from 5 to 1. If the player leaves a game, he is given ZERO keys. Same as with the usual event chest, keys might be purchased with real money; however it is worth noting that Black Market keys cannot be "gifted" to a clanmate.
Chests and prizes [NEEDS UPDATING]
As with usual event, there are three types of chests, inconveniently named "bronze" - 10 coins worth, "silver" - 100 coins worth and "gold" - 1000 coins worth. This naming has NOTHING to do with currency, tiers and\or prizes that could be recollected from the chests.
Event prizes
Chests are one way to get components for any item.
IMPORTANT: All chests may contain the robots in the second paragraph among other things. However, chances of winning Dash bots are higher for more expensive chests. The better the chest, the better the prizes and the chances of winning better prizes is increased.
Typical prizes that can be found in different chests are as follows:
Super Chest automatically opened after opening a certain amount of regular ones. The progress bar above shows how soon that will happen. The more expensive the chests are, the more it fills up your bar.
What you can get from chests:
Each chest in Black Market has a corresponding chance of dropping certain items.
Items are distributed by their worth:
- Common — up to 20 Au
- Uncommon — 21-200 Au
- Rare — 201-1500 Au
- Epic — more than 1500 Au
Note: As of update 3.8, the above stats are not always relevant. The value of the prizes and how rare they are is determined by the type of chest, for example an Orkan is considered to be common for a Silver chest but is Uncommon/Rare for a Bronze Chest. Also, it seems that unlocking several chests at once (such as unlocking 5 silver chests) can increase your chances of winning a better prize, but could also 'waste' most of your unlocked chests by giving you more 'common' prizes and only a few premium+ ones. However the overall chances of winning better prizes are higher than if you purchased the same amount of chests individually.
NOTE. These rates are relevant for version 3.8 except the percentages. A statistic update is needed.

Every month (approximately 28-30 days) the Black Market resets. Any spare Keys automatically converted into a loot prioritizing most valuable chests. For any number of keys fewer than 10 keys 1 Bronze chest will be opened. For example for 1991 keys the following chests will be opened:
— 1 Golden chest (1000 keys),
— 9 Silver chests (9 x 100 keys),
— 10 Bronze chests (9 x 10 + 1 key on top)
