Mais pour faire un bilan, dans ce type de coquillage, on trouve donc:
-des perles noires
-des perles iridescentes
-des perles dorées
Bon jeu ;)

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?

Commentaire de 63679

It's much easier to just kill the murlocks there so just kill them, wile i was doing ''treath from the sea'' and ''continued the treath'' i got like 30 or 32 st from them.

Commentaire de 97775

the murlocs in dustwallow have a terrible drop rate. killed about 30-50 of them not one clam.

Commentaire de 196216

As of the recent patch, these are no longer containers. Simply right-click them for the meat!

Commentaire de 110973

I tried farming a black pearl by hunting these clams and atm I seem to have 40 meat and 2 irisdicent pearl and none of black pearls, very slow way to get a pearl. It would be easier to just farm 8g and buy one from AH.

Commentaire de Jeice

I ended up having to farm about two hours getting 47 Big-mouth Clam in order to get one Black Pearl, not exactly the best way to get them.

Commentaire de 108724

The easiest way to get those is to fish!

Commentaire de 370422

got one off my 12th clam...wewt

Commentaire de 231954

I don't know if it's only me, but whenever I get this clam, and read the "Open the clam!" it reminds me of some kid that wants to impress on his parent. So everytime I get one of these I always open it because of this invinceble child.

Then I sell the meat.

Commentaire de 362597

For some reason, these don't work for me anymore. I've gathered a dozen of them from turtles, and every time I right click one to open it, it just disappears and that's it. It doesn't create any meat or loot at all. Is there a level limit or something?

Why is enchanting the only profession that gets screwed over by being forced to grind a random insanely rare drop just to continue leveling?

shalzaru's lair in feralas is a very nice place to farm these.

i have almost 200 clams now. going for 500 then opening them all

Commentaire de 619821

Farmed in Shalzaru's Lair, off-and-on over the course of 2 hours. The entrance is found near the Northwest coastline of the Isle of Dread, which itself is the southern island off the coast of Feralas.

Mobs found here:

Level 45ish non-elite nagas (mixed melee and caster mobs)
Caster naga warning: Caster mobs use frost spells which cause various slowing effects (when not resisted).

Respawn rate: Fast enough (The first mobs killed had respawned before I finished clearing the cave.)
Kill speed: Averaged 6-8 mobs per minute as a level 80 hybrid melee/caster class (see note below).
Drop rate: Approximately 1 Big-mouth Clam for every 3-4 mob kills (which is not great).

Note on farming anywhere: Kill speed will vary based primarily on respawn rate and character level versus mob level, but is also affected by mob difficulty (normal or elite), character aggro radius versus mob discovery radius (based on level discrepancy), class, spec, gear, attention span, mob spacing, corpse looting (if applicable), etc.

I stopped farming after looting 100 clams.

Actual results of farming session:
(101) Fish Oils
(100) Big-mouth Clams (see below)
(54) Mithril Ores

(1) Blacksmithing (220) Plans: Blue Glittering Axe
Roughly 1-5 silver per naga corpse looted
Various grey item (sold for approximately 5.5 gold total)

100 Big-mouth Clams yielded for me:
(100) Zesty Clam Meats
(0) Golden Pearls
(3) Black Pearls
(1) Iridescent Pearl
(0) Small Lustrous Pearls

Not fishable during night time (00:00-6:00 am server time). Time doesn't affect on loots from mobs though

Commentaire de Thander

The latest hotfix has added Big-Mouth Clam back the mobs that should be dropping them. =)

Got my 10 Big-Mouth Clam/Zesty Clam Meat in Tanaris killing the tortoises there.

Commentaire de Shashos

In addition to the Makura's in Swamp of Sorrows, I also found that the Murkdeep Murlocs drop these clams. Got a stack of them this morning while questing.

Also of note, you can get these clams off the Elite Giants in Feralas, but only if you have 'zapped them' using the Zapper from the goblin quest and turned them into the non-elite zapped form. The non-zapped giants do not drop them.

Commentaire de 117913

As of 4.01 Tidal Striders just outside Gadgetzan are still a good source for these.

Commentaire de 741373

Bloodwash Barbarian, in blasted lands, actually drops these a lot faster! I farmed 40 of em in like 10 mins. Perfect for clams..

Commentaire de Myhv

50 clams not a single pearl. Screw you RNG >_<

Commentaire de 749641

I worked the Tidal Striders and Steeljaw Snappers for some time off the coast of Tanaris, south of Gadgetzan. I opened 79 Big Mouth Clams and received:

1 Small Lustrous Pearl
1 Irridescent Pearl
1 Golden Pearl

I didn't find any Black Pearls. Also, the last 37 clams I opened gave nothing but clam meat. My assumption would be that Blizzard has screwed up the drop rate again.

Commentaire de 749641

I sent my hunter over to Thousand Needles to skin Stranded Sparkleshell Turtles. On the fourth Big Mouth Clam I opened I got a black pearl. So, perhaps the drop rate has been fixed.

However, I had already given up on finding one after opening 79 clams and getting nothing so I bought one in the auction house. To me, having to go to the auction house violates the spirit of the game. Also, having to play around Blizzards screw ups and patches is quite annoying.

Commentaire de huldu

I was killing the nagas in Blasted Lands for around 45-60 minutes, these are the results:

183 Runecloth
131 clams:
2 Black Pearls
2 Golden Pearls
1 Small Lustrous Pearl
2 Iridescent Pearl

I came here for the black pearl and Iridescent Pearls. Got the black pearl pretty fast, then it really slowed down until the end where i all of the sudden got 2 iridescent pearls, black pearl and a golden pearl.

Commentaire de 455095

Commentaire de GreyMouser

After collecting 150 clams from naga in Red Reaches, I (lvl 60DK) netted:
150 clam meat
180 runecloth
6 iridescent pearls
4 golden pearls
8 black pearls
several greens and about 10g in vendor trash
Time invested was about 75 mins.
Oh and 5 Imperfect Draenethyst Fragments

Commentaire de Immortalsoul

Naga's in the cave under The Dark Portal in Blasted Lands drop it almost always, perfect for farming pearls. They drop Black Pearl, Golden Pearl, Small Lutrious Pearl and meat.

Commentaire de 833726

All I needed was 2 golden pearls and the AH had the cheapest for 400 gold. So I go farming.

Killing 571 Tidal Striders in Tanaris. 20g 28s 75c money drops
9 Green Items 1.57% 4g 81s 95c
20 Grey Items 3.5% 8g 30s 48c
320 Big-Mouth Clams 56%

Clams Had
320 Zesty Clam Meat 100% AH for 43g 20s
8 Black Pearls 2.5% AH for 72g
4 Iridescent Pearls 1.25% AH for (I think) 23g
1 Golden Pearl 0.3125% AH for about 200g

Ended up not needing the pearl anymore. I stopped farming when I got 1 golden pearl. I would never buy something so overpriced. I farmed for 2 hours and 13 minutes. So I guess by not buying it I made over 350 gold in a little over 2 hours.

Commentaire de 622758

I recommend grinding the Murlocs on the coast of the Swamp of Sorrows for these. The drop rate is high, and there are 2 rare murloc spawns along that beach as an added bonus. (Fingat and Gilmorian)

If your a max level toon who just wants to farm a pearl, that may not matter much. If you're anywhere near the level of the mobs, however, the added XP bonus from killing rares makes the Swamp of Sorrows a much more enticing target than the giants in Tanaris.

Commentaire de Thottbot

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

Commentaire de Thottbot

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.

Commentaire de Thottbot

Out of 109clams i got
3-black...
1-iridecent...
1-small...

Commentaire de Thottbot

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 :)

Commentaire de 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.

Commentaire de Thottbot

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

Commentaire de 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.

Commentaire de Thottbot

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)

Commentaire de Thottbot

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.

Commentaire de Thottbot

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

Commentaire de 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.

Commentaire de Thottbot

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 ..

Commentaire de 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.

:)

Commentaire de Thottbot

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.

Commentaire de 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.

Commentaire de 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.

Commentaire de 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%

Commentaire de Thottbot

can you actually get any of those iteams in the clam like (ore)...........

Commentaire de 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

Commentaire de Thottbot

Blizzard has increased the drop rate i think but not only that, not many use the pearls anymore other than to lvl skills on different professions... i was killing naga in azshara for zesty clam meat for my alts cooking quest and got 2 golden pearls in 8 clam drops so i would either say yes its increased or my luck was just running high today... but both have affected the price on golden pearls since the BC release... they used to be expensive now you find then for around 4 g on this server
oh and not to mention that with 3 toons above lvl 35 and playing for almost 2 years i have done the quest for cooking for all of them with all the clams i have opened i had never had any golden pearls drop for me. but since the BC expansion i have had well over 10 in the last 2 months

Commentaire de Thottbot

ive got a nice hint here that many ppl can use for easy money. that is open the clam with a full inventory and if u dot see a pearl close it again and open it and check again, do this until u see a pearl in there and then sell some stuff or just put something in bank to free space. once this is done, put the meat in the bank or sell it, fill ur inventory again and repeat.
ive made about 30g just doing this selling the golden pearls for one gold a piece

Commentaire de Thottbot

A Golden Pearl will drop more often out of a Big-mouth Clam dropped by a high level monster. This statisitc is standard for all the items in WoW, like Elites always drop more uncommon items than regular beasts or mobs enemies of the same level. And it gets even more complicated, like how Linen drops more often from the 11-19 level bracket of monster spawns than it does from the 5-10 level bracket (by 19, you start getting Wool btw).

The Golden Pearl, and the Big-mouth Clam work exactly this way. The higher the level the monster that drops the clam, the more likely you'll get a Golden Pearl from that clam. And since Thottbot only lists the looted times, and makes the ratio from that looted number, it is definately likely that people will be misunderstood on the likelyhood of the pearl dropping.

Overall, my suggestion, if you're locating Golden Pearls, is to focus your farming on higher leveled monsters and mobs that drop the Clam.

***Remember as you comment that this drop is in reference to the Big-mouth Clam drop, and not a drop on it's own. The information chain on the Golden Pearl references to it's own drop, not it's drop from the clam. All replies are asked to be made to the credibility of this topic, and not to the degrading of it's writer. This drop standard is set through all online realms.***

Commentaire de Thottbot

Turtles in Tanaris drop them alot i noticed, in my 1st 6 i opened i got 2 black, 1 gold, and 1 iridescent pearl.

Commentaire de Thottbot

These drop like crazy off the Nagas near Booty Bay. I had spent over an hour killing turtles in the Steamwheedle port area just to get 10 zesty clam meat for the cooking quest, then the next day I go kill Nagas near Booty Bay and get over 40 within an hour. I got one golden pearl as well.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

I found black pearl inside

Commentaire de 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!

Commentaire de Allakhazam

"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.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

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%

This isnt junk, It usually contains zesty clam meat and I have seen them contain pearls

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.

I keep this macro on my toolbar to make it easy to open the clams and reclaim bag space:

#tooltip Big-Mouth Clam
/use Big-Mouth Clam
/use Thick-shelled Clam

Pulled a golden pearl from these today while doing the Akiris Reed bundle quest in STV. Rather lucky, I can't remember the last time I got one that way.

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?
