how to find madam nazar

Introduced in the Frontier Pursuits update, Madam Nazar is the most important character in Red Dead Online for any self-respecting Collector, paying you for collectibles and treasure as well as selling you vital equipment that'll help you find even more of both. However, Nazar's profession keeps her on the road, and changes where she sets up shop changes every day without any immediate clue as to where she can be found. We're here to help with that.

How to Find Madam Nazar

The first time you meet her to register as a Collector, Madam Nazar is always in the same place: to the North-West of Armadillo in Cholla Springs, helpfully marked with a yellow icon on your map. However, after you buy a collector's bag, she'll begin to relocate across the world every 24 hours.

Madam Nazar can be found in any of twelve locations, and is valuable for any pursuing the role of Collector. | *Joel Franey/USG, Rockstar Games*

As of this current date we've seen twelve different spots across Red Dead Online's vast map where Madam Nazar may appear on a day-to-day basis, and can be spotted by her large, brightly-lit and highly-decorated caravan. Which of these 12 spots she's in changes randomly every day, and we've marked them below for you to find. If you're looking for the most efficient way to search, we recommend starting at the top-right of the map and working your way South-West through the various hotspots towards New Austin. Unlike the many treasures you bring to her, Nazar's caravan is not hidden in any way, and should be obvious the moment you're in the same area.

How to Find Madam Nazar with a Collector's Map

If you don't want to go through the process of checking every location, there is another, quicker, but more costly way: use one of the Collector's Maps that Madam Nazar will sell you by going into your satchel and reading it. Each map is a one-time use item and highlights three hidden treasures to be found, but if you haven't found Nazar that day, her icon will replace one of those three treasures. It's quicker to find her, but you'll lose out on the opportunity to get an extra piece of lucre. If you've got the time to spare, it might be better just to go searching.

What You Can Get From Madam Nazar

Nazar sells numerous items and trinkets that can't be obtained anywhere else, including rotating cosmetic items such as masks and belt accessories. She also sells Collector-specific equipment that'll unlock as you level up, such as a shovel and metal detector, as well as the aforementioned single-use Maps that can be used to narrow down the location of treasure across the world.
