1Capture a Pal Merchant or a Black Marketeer
In order to carefully select the Passive Skill of a Pal, capture a Pal Merchant or a Black Marketeer. If the player is unsuccessful with catching the Pal Merchant while an NPC is nearby, the player will become wanted for committing a crime. Attacking Black Marketeers will not anger NPC's.

3If the desired skill is not available, put them in the box
If you don’t see the desired skill in the Pal Merchant’s available Pals, return it to the Palbox. Each time you take the Pal Merchant out of the box, the Pals for sale will change. This means you can repeat the process until you find the skills you want.
