Farming these from the Silt Crawlers in Swamp of Sorrows seemed like a good idea. However, I killed about 25 of them and they didn't have a drop rate of 30% as listed. None dropped. Monstrous Crawlers drop fine though. Was this just rotten luck on my part or has the drop table changed?

My question is if clams found off different mobs drop the pearls at different rate and particularly if clams found fishing drop differently.

If not then the cave mentioned above is likely the best place because of the kill rate but never-the-less the statistics on goldens has them drop around ever 205 clams which is over 800 kills. Seems that fishing did better but without a huge N hard to know

I just farmed the Spitelash Naga in southern Azshara for a long time looking for a Golden Pearl. I would say the clams drop more frequently than off those the previous poster mentioned, but then again they probably take longer to kill, so I don't know which is easiest to farm. Here's what I got from the clams:

Out of exactly 100 clams:
1 Golden
2 Black
5 Iridescent
0 Small Lustrous

Ironically, the Golden Pearl, what I had been looking for the whole time, dropped on clam #98.

Was killing Hatecrest Naga in Feralas for one Black Pearl. First kill, dropped a Big-Mouth Clam, and I was surprised, a black pearl inside :)

评论来自 Thottbot

I have found... the higher the lvl of the NPC the more chance of getting the higher lvl pearl.

Golden - Highest lvl
Black
Irridescent
Small Lusterous - Lowest lvl

Feralas hatecrest nagas have dropped more black pearls than any other type for me.

I have only gotten golden pearls from the nagas in Azshara.

You can get pearls from fishing the different types of clams... but the drop rate of the pearls seems much lower to me compared to NPC clam drops. I have fished up many small lusterous and irridescent pearls fishing. I have only gotten 1 black pearl and have never gotten a golden pearl.

12 Clams, 1 Golden Pearl, 2 Black Pearls, i guess i was just lucky,

Btw, i got these from the naga explorers north of Booty Bay

评论来自 Thottbot

Look up nearer the top of this page. See the part that says "Dropped By"? Near the names of the various mobs is a column listing their level.

- and for the record: "Perhaps in your boredom, you could look up the definition of percentage" is just too funny. Thank you for taking the imperious twit down a notch.

i am about to try the lowbie dustwallow murk threshers for these big mouth clams, I will let you know if after a at least a few days whether or not it makes a difference for the level of mob. (in relation to the dropping of pearls)

I was farming in Hinterlands.
Got corpse camped by a mage and priest (60) :\
Found 21 clams:

The naga south of Feathermoon Outpost drop big mouthed clams frequently, give good exp (for a level 44), and are eeeaaassyyy to kill. I got about 130 clams - 3 small lustrous, 4 iridescent, 2 black pearls.

It was odd, in the first 10 clams I got the 3 lustrous pearls, over the next 20 I got 4 iridescent pearls, then I saw nothing for about 60 clams, when I got the first black pearl. Then another 40 clams later I got the second. Good xp though, about 75% percent of a level from all of it.

评论来自 Thottbot

I had 10 and got one Iridescent pearl and one golden pearl
Guess i was lucky right?

评论来自 Thottbot

Farmed nagas in STV and Azshara for clams for golden pearls -- 2000 nagas so far, over 800 clams -- and 1 golden pearl.

Either up the drop rate or some making so many golden pearls necessary for high level tailoring or enchanting.

This is an absurd grind.

i was down by the azhera shore for farming little xp i need for leveling and found 5 clams and started opening and found 2 golden pearls got 50g for them 1 hour later ..

0 golden

Drop rate su*ks

评论来自 Thottbot

i farmed them cos iw as in need of 1 golden pearl, cant rmember how much but i cleaned the cave just 2 times (isle of dread nagas, feralas) and got one
if u guys have to spend 3 hours to get one, think about it cos if u spend 3 hours killing some other 60mob even non elite u make enought money to bouy them, at least on my server they are at 23-35 g, rarely rarely 50.

It doesn't matter who drops the clam, the drop rate of pearls is dependent on the clam, not who dropped the clam.

Now it's possible that some mobs drop clams more often than others, but there is no mob that drops super-special Big-Mouth Clams that have a higher percentage of pearls inside. Doesn't take Capt Obvious to realize that. Think about it.

评论来自 Thottbot

These are the correct drop rate for each pearl gained from a Big-mouth Clam:

- Small Lustrous Pearl
- Iridescent Pearl 2.5% 1/40
- Black Pearl 4.0% 1/25
- Golden Pearl 0.5% 1/200

The average drop rate for a Big-mouth clam is 33% 1/3 kills

So statistically it takes 200*3=600 kills for 1 Golden Pearl

Do whatever you want to do with this information, but I'm not gonna grind Golden Pearls anymore, since they are 10-15g on my server.
And 10-15g is easy to make anywhere else in less time.

评论来自 Thottbot

Big waste of time. Easier to farm something else and pay the 30g for the pearl. I spent 3 hours in STV and 2 hours in Ashara and received nothing but a load of crap clam meat, 3silver per kill, and (3) green items.

评论来自 Thottbot

i farm 1 hour in azshara - 70 clams
4 black pearls -6%
2 iridescent pearls - 3%
1 small lustrous pearl - 1%
2 golden pearls - 3%

评论来自 Thottbot

I was grinding turtles in the hinterlands on my hunter and got about 100 clams looted.I found:

2 Golden

3 Black

1 Ire

0 Lustr

I was excited to get the 2 golden pearls since they went for about 15g last time i checked but go to the AH to find about 15 golden pearls on sale, all from different people with an average buyout of 1g...I dont know what happened to the price of the pearls and whether or not the drop rate changed recently or if that was just 15 noobs putting up an item for 1 fifteenth or so of its regular price but i would enjoy an explanation 0.o

评论来自 Allakhazam

I found black pearl inside

评论来自 Allakhazam

I was after a Golden Pearl so I kept track of the drops.

Didn't keep track of mobs killed. Drop rate was about 1 in 3 for the clams from the Spitelash Serpent mobs at the ruins Azshara.

In 37 clams I found: 2 Small Lustrous, 1 Iridescent, 1 Black (came with a Sm. Lustrous), and in the last clam, 1 Golden Pearl.

Happy Hunting!

"Farming turtles that roam the beaches are a good source of the Big-mouth Clams, they are non agressive and can be skinned, but they drop no coin." FYI The Speckled Shell Fragments I get off of turtles in tanaris sell for 9s. Whenever you want money from grinding you should loot everything and vendor anything that you aren't using or putting on AH. Any items marked as grey are meant for vendoring.

Because of the lack of statistics what drops from these clams, I farmed a few and took notes of the pearls I found. During the farming of these clams I also got a few uncommon items which I sold at the AH.

Total number of clams: 100
4 x black pearl - 4%
3 x iridescent pearl - 3%
1 x small lustrous pearl - 1%
1 x golden pearl - 1%

I may update this post if I keep farming these. I felt really lucky as the golden pearl was the 23rd clam I opened, but unfortunately the drop rate was not every 23rd.. :)

And I don't think it makes any difference, but I farmed the clams from nagas in the Ruins of Solarsal, Feralas.

10g would be nice. Send me ten or twenty of them. On my server they sell as high as about 50g with an average of about 30g. Back when we all were young you could buy them for about 3g at the ah but with all those maxed out tailors around the prices are ridiculous.

killed 3500-3700 nagas in the past few days and with 40% droprate, I got roughly 1400 clams. I've got 15 pearls out of them and I've lost counting the other stuff they seem to drop long time ago.
The droprate seems to be a flat 1%

Although pearls can drop from any of the mobs that drop Big-mouth Clams, the clams themselves are the main source of Pearls: Small Lustrous Pearl, Iridescent Pearl, Black Pearl, and Golden Pearl.

The Lustrous and Iridescent pearls can also be found in other types of clams, on lower level mobs.

After opening many thousand Big-mouth Clams, I've gotten 7 Golden, 63 Black, and a smattering of the Lustrous and Iridescent ones.

Farming turtles that roam the beaches are a good source of the Big-mouth Clams, they are non agressive and can be skinned, but they drop no coin. Farming the crab and murloc humanoid types also drop the Big-mouth Clams and coin, but they are agressive.

For me, the humanoid types tend to drop more Green and Blue items for good AH cash, but I've gotten an epic from each type. I tend to enjoy farming the humanoid types and the beach at the eastern edge of Azshara is huge with a very wide range of mobs and areas to hunt. The Azshara beaches will also support a goodly number of farmers unlike other areas that are quite small.

Just finished farming the Hatecrest naga on Sardor Isle (Feralas) at level 40 recieved the following:

37 Zesty Clam Meat
2 Golden Pearls
2 Black Pearls
2 Lustrous Pearls

If someone could tell me the best way to find Iridescent Pearls I would appreciate it.

So these Are suppose to drop from fishing. I have fished quite some time in Tanaris both in pools and in open water and I have not found any clams. Is it possible to catch these with fishing?
