You can pick Blue Pearls (in Stranglethorn Vale ), even if you don't have the quest. If you quest in Stranglethorn Vale, I suggest you to get the 9 of these Blue Pearls before leaving to Badlands.

Easy to farm these whilst doing another quest: https://www.wowhead.com/classic/quest=1107

After the 2.0 patch the rep is 350 with Booty Bay and -350 with the Bloodsail Buccaneers

Commento di 30936

That's a big waste of time, IMO. If you can buy the Blue Pearls, or if you can do it before you have the quest, do it.
The XP is good though, that's the only good point of this quest.

But if you don't have Underwater Breath, or any "breathable" potions, you'll find this quest boring as hell.

Just an advice from someone who has just done it.

Commento di TorrentKatten

If you are an engineer he will offer you the Schematic for the flash bomb aswell

Commento di Maldito

Any cords on where they might be atleast^^

Commento di 46995

Its at the Vile Reef and you find them in giant clams around 25:23. They are located in a large area and there are loads of Murlocsl. The murlocs are lvl35-36 elites and gives nice xp.

Commento di Lisalv

About the coords. I mean, the clams are like... Everywhere. And you don't have to kill the murlocs either if you don't feel to. I were looking for a Irridescent pearl, or what they are called, and got about 30 Blue Pearls... But it's boring. I had Aquatic form so I didn't need to breath but... It's -really- boring.

Commento di Thottbot

I also received plans to make Flash Bombs along with the normal quest rewards. Is this additional award only for those with Engineering skill?

Commento di Thottbot

(NE 46 Warrior) this wasnt too hard for me considering the mobs are 36 elite. I had to get pretty close to agro them. I was able to get all the pearls and only had to kill 2 or 3 murlocs. When i had to kill one, I would have to kill, swim to surface, swim back down, loot.

clams for me were at:
24,28
23,27
23,26
23,25
23,23
27,24

Commento di Thottbot

the hacker.. your a dumbass.. anyways

26,26(it was guarded by an elite)
24,27(also gaurded)
23,25(guarded)
23,23
25,25(i got it after it spawned)

Commento di Thottbot

I loved doing this quest.... the underwater world rocks.
So peaceful underwater (read no ganking ;)

Commento di Thottbot

Lvl 42 pally - bought a potion of underwater breathing at th AH - make sure you have "The Curse of Tides" and "Encrusted Tail Fins" quests as well. Can do all three with one potion if you're fast (30 minutes).

Like they said above - just swim along the blue line on the map using the num lock key and look down and around for the clams, I had to off two murlocs while I was doing it.

Commento di Thottbot

i found the clam where no Murlocs around and shallow area.

24.27
24.25
26.22

they are between rocks or seaweed thing.
i just backandforth those area and got all 9 pearl

Commento di Thottbot

This quest can be done at the same time as the Encrusted Fins quest, recieved in Shimmering Flats. Every clam had a pearl in it, and every Murloc dropped a Fin as well. Make sure to have some waterbreathing buff, however.

If you swim what looks like a few "meters" below the surface (inches on your screen) around the outside edge of the dark area on the map that is Vile Reef, you should be able to see the clams clearly when looking down. They are located near rocks or at the base of large tree-like kelpweed areas on the sides of the reef valley.Murlocs guard about half of the clams, and can be tough (at least for my clothie mage), and they like to run when they get low on health so save your nuke weapon or spell for that.

Sorry, I don't use coordinates, but Vile Reef is located off-shore, directly west of the Horde Grom'Gol Base Camp on the western shore of Stranglethorn. Both quests can be done here.

Commento di Thottbot

Here's a tip for everyone, there is an item that drops in Gnomeregan calle Hydrocane, it drops off a boss that's fairly early on and fairly easy to defeat if you just grab a couple friends. Hydrocane has only the requirement of being able to use staves, which is much easier then the engineering helm, which is a pain in the butt to build up to, and allows you to breathe underwater. I'm a 47 hunter, got it by the fact that no one else wanted it, and use it for stuff like this and underwater mining since I mostly just use my gun if I run into something.

Commento di Thottbot

If you can re-set the video options for high-detail, you can see the clamshells a little easier. Everyone is right that you can avoid the elite murlocs and you should because they have three annoying traits.

1) Almost all of them are paired or tripled, but the second one is hidden, stealthed or behind some seaweed. Combine that with an odd patrol pattern and a long aggro range and it's hard to fight just one, so be prepared. 2) Although most don't hit very hard (lots of hit points, though), some of the Saltscale Foragers have some kind of random spell. One killed my 39 Voidwalker in 2 hits (twinked murlocs?) and another killed a 41 shielded priest at nearly full health in about 3 blows. Boy, was she surprised, and not very happy because these are 36-38 elites. Weird. 3) Of course everyone tries to pull them from their pals, which is a good tactic, particularly if you can keep hitting them but be careful, if you lose the pull and they stop or start to turn back, they will jump back to full health immediately. Very annoying if you've spent five minutes hammering away on one. Even more annoying when you work hard to kill one for a long battle and he drops 83 copper. I can hear the designers' sarcastic laughter now.

The clams don't respawn very quickly, so for best results (the most amount of clams), go in the early morning or late at night, server time. Otherwise it will take you 45 minutes to an hour to find nine. The rewards aren't much (unless you're an engineer) but the XP is great and the Vile Reef is scenic.

Commento di Thottbot

I started this quest and as soon as I started fighting the murlocs I would have to swim back to the surface. I drowned a lot. Here's what you do. Get close enough the murlocs to agro them, then simply swim back to the surface, with murloc trailing behind you. Once you are safely breathing the cool ocean air, you are then free to kill murloc. Once murloc is dead then swim down to get the clams. You may have to do this a few times(depending on the amount of murlocs). I hope this helps you.

Commento di Thottbot

The Giant Clams are in the reefs surounding the temple. Every clam had a blue pearl. Its easy to avoid the mobs

Commento di Thottbot

Very quick & easy quest and good XP. I did the quest in under 10 mins (following the black reef line as someone suggested). The way I did it was to find a clam and resurface for air, when I went back down to get the clam, I would click it so it tagets and auto opens, while the character was diving to get it, I would be panning around to find others as they tended to all be close together.

Quick tip: If you have less that 3/4 breath when diving, forget about it as this is a struggle at certain depths to get back up on time, then energy drained form me at a rate of 415hp every 2 seconds while I was out of breath!

Commento di Allakhazam

None of those coords coordinate with MetaMap. I just picked ones at the following locations unguarded...

26.25
26.28
26.30

Those are extremely hard to see, but run this line 3 times (have to wait for spawns anyways) and you'll be done. I also don't doubt that there are more, but I don't want to waste that much time finding them. lol

Commento di Allakhazam

The Pearls are found Underwater just next to Grom'Gol Base Camp, you may see a sunken ship in the water, go out to it, then do some diving and look for the Pearls.

BEST POST EVER!

just like rileyporter said:

25,24
26,23
27,29
every loc is correct, only correction to the previous post is that i didnt need breathing spell, probably becuase i did it as a 42 pally (less aggro). Other than that, the BEST POST EVER

Commento di Allakhazam

Look @ this quest Encrusted Tail Fins] too (starts in Thousand Needles).
& take a shaman w/ you - its deep and the air is not enough! ;)

Commento di Allakhazam

3550 XP at level 40 (when the quest is green).

Commento di Allakhazam

Got 2150 XP, Booty Bay Rep +385 and Bloodsail Buccaneers Rep -350 at Lvl 44.

Commento di Allakhazam

I went and grabbed the pearls on another character while doing the quest for him, tossed them on my 34, and was able to hand them in and get a new gun.

Commento di Allakhazam

When I handed this in, he also gave me the Flash Bomb Engineering formula as a reward.

Commento di Allakhazam

Is this quest for engineer's only? Been carrying around 9 Blue Pearls for forever and when I last saw Rigglefuzz it was only for his Powerstones quest and he didn't give me any other quests.

Commento di Allakhazam

I did it on lvl40 without any underwater breathing thing within about 20 minutes.
Simply swim tightly under surface and when u will see calm get it and you will still have time to return up with almost half of breath (if you are attacked with murlock swim up first, and kill him then ;)). Clams are around ruins, many of them.

Commento di Allakhazam

I dunno, maybe the area was farmed before I got there, but I found only 2 clams in about an hour. During this time I was able to get all 10 Encrusted Tail Fins. So, noticing that Blue Pearls were a Trade Goods item.... I stopped by AH and bought the other 7.

IMHO, getting them for yourself isn't worth the bother.

Commento di Allakhazam

For me, didn't find anything at previously listed coordinates. Found them along a diagonal line from 24,28 to 27,26 with one up at 27,24. Wasn't very patient, so found about half without fight and other half had to kill one mob. Perhaps spawn locations vary. Clams are not all tha big but are a fairly light white and pretty noticeable - just not very large compared to the other bottom clutter.

Commento di Allakhazam

It might be fixed, but the return for the time and stress involved is horrid. This is a bad one.

Commento di Allakhazam

First look for clams around the altar where you complete Curse of the Tides. Swim all around that area, especially along the dark line (for the trench) that you see on the mini map. On the larger map of STV, you should be looking around the area just above the "The" in "The Vile Reef". If there are elite murlocs around, that's where you need to be. It took me about 5-10 mins to get nine.

At level 44: 2150xp, +99 rep with Booty Bay, -750 rep with Bloodsail

Commento di Allakhazam

I just completed this as a 38 rogue without a single fight and without a breathing spell. Using the coordinates listed I would find a clam and if it wasn't too close to a mob simply went down (stealthed) and got it. If there was a mob close I stealthed, went down, sapped the mob, opened the clam and vanished. quick and easy.

Commento di Allakhazam

Best place i've found is in STV Vile Reef. Some are gaurded by 35-36Elite Murlocs. Buy, make or trade for its a must. 100% drop rate with a 1/9 ratio of dropping small lustruos pearl. Clam meat is a 50% drop or so.

Commento di Allakhazam

This should be the MOST boring quest EVER.

With the exception to kill the steath dudes in badlands that you have to walk in the water to find them for the Green warden, this q is soo boring.

I have a lock and unending breath, and the clams are quite spread out...
Aint worht the hussle for 3000XP all the way from badlands to BB...

I disenchanted the Wand and received x2

Commento di Allakhazam

A use for my diving helm at last! ^^

Commento di Allakhazam

Found all mine in the Vile Reef soloed it at lvl 30. Most likely this is the lowest lvl you can be to abtain this quest. Definitly worth it if your an engineer trying to get the flash bomb schematic =) Took me about an hour all together and I recieved 3550 XP. Figured I get more but it was worth it just for the schematic. Every clam you open gives you a blue pearl its pretty nice.

Commento di Allakhazam

opened clams in the reef ad naseum for over two hours, and killed many murlocs too!

for my efforts yes i did manage to loot 10 lumious pearls and several stacks of clam meat
but nary one blue pearl was found,

am I doing something wrong?

I managed to find eight different clams, most at or near riley's coords. Only one clam was guarded by an elite murlocs (lvl 35). Took me a little less than half an hour to complete (not counting travel time), so a regular elixir of under water breathing should be fine. Or you could just skip it and buy the pearls at the AH.

Commento di Allakhazam

With using the co-ords from one of they others swim till you can look down and see an area that you think it will be in and run the mose over the area till you find the clams it'll take less time about 5 mins to complete myself but it will give you a birds eye view of the area and let you choose the ones that are un-guarded lol thank to all who give co-ords without them it would take longer :-)

I went by a number of the coordinates listed here and despite their well-intentioned recording the quest is still a hide-and-seek. The coordinates each cover an area which, while totally visible on land, is mired with plants, rocks, hills, and reefs undersea. Put it this way - if you like Easter Egg hunts, you'll love this.

The good news is that I counted at least 15 separate clam locations, so you are very likely to bump into 9 of them. The general areas indicated by the coords are the most fruitful.

Commento di Allakhazam

my bad i didnt see the level 37 but anyways:)

Commento di Allakhazam

I found all the pearls in like 30mins, don't have quest yet but will let you know xp gain at lvl 38

These are the locations of where I got the clams. Hope this helps cause this was a pain in the butt. YOU WILL NEED NO MATTER WHAT A BREATHING POTION ETC.
The clams respawn so there are not 9 but that will do.

Commento di Allakhazam

whats the minnimum level you have to be and also why would a level 40 want any of these items? to disenchant or what

Commento di Allakhazam

I soloed this as a lvl40 warrior, and I didn't need any water breathing. I managed to find all nine clams, here's the coords:

26,23
25,24 (Guarded)
27,27
25,27
25,28 (Guarded)
24,29 (Guarded)
28,29
25,31
25,29

The clam at 25,24 was guarded by an oracle, while the other two had warriors. Level 35-36 elites for the most part.

Commento di Allakhazam

so..i saw a friend doing this quest...and while i was doing the curse of tides i also collected about 20 blue pearls at lvl 40. kept them until i got to badlands. Best with a 30 min. waterbreathing potion and the lvl 35-17 elite murlocs are quite nasty...but they will not aggro on you too much.

Commento di Allakhazam

Right the c-ords are great and all, but can someone tell me WHERE the Vile Reef itself is please? Can't find the damn area to search.

Commento di oresteia

If you are going to solo the quest you should be 40+ lvl. Murlocs are 35 lvl elite and they have around 200 dps. I died multiple times as lvl 38 feral. Ignore addons that shows it as lvl 37 quest. It's impossible as lvl 37 if you are not a mage ofc.

Commento di Naommi

For those playing Classic Wow:

I was able to solo this at level 32 as a warrior.

However my class does not matter. as I did not fight anything or use any "warrior-ish" abilities to complete the quest.

It's my opinion any class can solo this if patient enough and willing to take a few extra minutes to carefully scope things out before you dive every-time you see a clam.

You may (do) want a water breathing potion with you. (I didn't have one and it likely took me a lot of extra time having to resurface for air after every single dive down)

The Details:

What you need to do (besides keep a careful eye out for murloc elites and hopefully (do) bring a breathing potion, is stay away from the main concentration of murlocs. ie: The underwater city /ruins.

How?

If you have a quest helper addon, (cheater) stay to the farthest "outer rim" or edge of where it shows the quest location area.

If you don't have an addon (and many on Classic wont because Classic players never cheat...) swim out as far as you can from the murloc populated ruins while still being able to spot clams in the water below you.

Recap:

You need to swim out as far away from those murloc infested ruins as you are able to go where clams still spawn and murloc elites are far more scarce)

This is where some of that patented Classic Wow patience (and of course non-cheating) will come in handy.

You'll almost certainly need to be patient to spot the clams. Not only that but patience to spot clams away from those murloc badies waiting to ruin your day.

For me, I panned the camera angle directly down into the water from above my toon's head, but you should do it whatever way is best for you.

Some clams are hidden by the terrain and / or even almost completely "buried" in the surrounding scenery.

For me, mousing over the areas I was checking was a huge help (You'll see your cursor become a gear wheel when you mouse over a clam)

Be sure there are no murlocs too close to where you dive or they will attack you.

I was spotted by one of the elite murlocs and attacked only once but I was fortunately able to swim away before I was rendered into warrior pate'

(You can also skip all of the above if you have the gold. Check the auction house as they are able to be farmed and sold there as well)

Happy pearl hunting.

Disclaimer

I personally don't think anyone is cheating when using (most) addons in Classic Wow.

Merely jesting.

No elite murlocs (or low level warriors) were harmed in the making of this post

The Badlands is a harsh place, filled with vicious predators and bold scavengers. Scary, especially for a short little goblin. To survive, I have to be tricky!

I know the recipe for flash bombs. I use those to scare away wildlife. But I'm running low on one of the ingredients: crushed blue pearl powder. Get me some and I'll make it worth your efforts.

Heh, and I hope you have good boots on. The Blue Pearls I need are found from clams at the Vile Reef.

Yep, the Vile Reef in Stranglethorn!
