How to Find Pumpkin Jack (Black Merchant) in Sol’s RNG

Pumpkin Jack is back for the Halloween event, but finding him isn’t as simple as walking around the map — he’s a special nighttime spawn NPC known as the Black Merchant. If you’re looking to trade your bounty medals or grab exclusive Halloween items, here’s exactly how to find him.

Who is Pumpkin Jack?

Pumpkin Jack is the Black Market Merchant in Sol’s RNG, and during the Halloween event, he’s your go-to NPC for exclusive trades. You can exchange Bounty Medals (earned by completing daily aura hunts) for limited event rewards — from Halloween cosmetics to special items you won’t see again after the event ends.

Where to Find Pumpkin Jack

Finding him is easy once you know when and where to look:

Wait Until Nighttime
Pumpkin Jack only spawns during the night. You won’t see him at all during the daytime, so keep an eye on the in-game lighting. Once the world gets darker and the sky turns purple or black, that’s your cue to start moving.

Head Toward the Black Market Location
The merchant spawns near his usual black market area — the same location used in past seasonal events. You’ll recognize it by the glowing orange pumpkins and spooky ambient lighting.

Look for Pumpkin Jack’s Stall
When you arrive, look for a small area lit up with lanterns and pumpkins. Pumpkin Jack stands near a dark wooden stall, easily recognizable by his glowing pumpkin head and black cloak. Once he’s there, you can interact with him to open his shop.

When He’s Available

Pumpkin Jack only appears at night, and once daylight returns, he disappears again. If you miss him, don’t worry — he’ll return the following night. The cycle repeats throughout the entire Halloween event.

What He Sells

Inside Pumpkin Jack’s shop, you’ll find:

• Event-exclusive gear
• Cosmetic Halloween auras
• Special materials or trade items
• Daily bounty rewards (exchanged via Bounty Medals)

His stock may rotate or change throughout the event, so make sure to check back often.

Quick Tips

• If you don’t see Pumpkin Jack, wait until the next night cycle.
• Bring your Bounty Medals before you go — his shop won’t open otherwise.
• Join a private server if you want to check his spawn without server lag or crowds.
