Prepare to farm for a while, these have got to be one of the worst items to farm for. If you need just one you have a better chance to get one by doing the quest Blueleaf Tubers. Otherwise you'll have to farm either Big-mouth Clams or Thick-shelled Clam the drop rate from them is extremely low.

I farmed 25 Big-Mouth Clams got 1 Black Pearl and the meat you always get with the clam. I then went and farmed 55 Thick-shelled Clams and got 3 Small Lustrous Pearls and 1 Iridescent Pearl

Probably best to farm this while either doing the quest Soothing Turtle Bisque (Alliance Version) or for the grinding your cooking skill with the recipes Soothing Turtle Bisque or Goblin Deviled Clams.

Where most of the territory that has these is alliance or contested, but closer to alliance(so you are likely to get ganked if horde) they are MUCH more expensive for horde.

Комментарий от BladeMaster0182

Let me give you an idea of how bad the drop rate is. First depending on what you kill you have about a 40-50% chance of getting a thick shelled clam. Each clam has a 3% chance of giving you the pearl. I spend TWO hours killing Torn Fin Murlocs just so I could get two pearls. I got to the point where if I heard another "Mrgrlgrlgrl!" I would snap. Yea, have fun farming these.

Комментарий от Thottbot

I found 2 of these in 2 hours killing murlocs near SouthShore. They are a low percentage drop from anything that drops thick clam shells.
Basically any pearls are most easily obtained from clams dropped by fishy mobs of appropriate levels.

Комментарий от Thottbot

So essentially, by the time you're likely to pick these up from a drop, you're too high a level to be interested in the magic items they let you craft?
Great.

Go to Feleras (lvl 42-45 mobs) and to the northern point of the Isle of Dread. There are mobs of Naga types that drop clams. I got a golden pearl, 3 iridescent pearls, and a black pearl in a hour of hammering. There is also some good mining in the cave there. Just don't let anybody know that I told you this!

Комментарий от Thottbot

Drops from Naga Explorer near Nek'mani Wellspring in Stranglethorn Vale .

Комментарий от Thottbot

I finally got one of these form a drop @ Blackfathom Deeps, from one of the beasties there.

Otherwise, I just watch the AH for a deal.

After buying four of these in the auction house and reading the comments here, I went to the wetlands and killed Murlocks for hours to see if getting an iridescent pearl naturally was even possible. Also, I thought that the giant clams under the water just off the coast seemed like the logical place to find them. I would say that I got a clam off of every third-ish murlock I killed, and I had about twenty of them before I opened them all to find two small lustrous pearls and one iridescent pearl! I never found anything but clam meat in the giant clams on the sea floor, opened about ten of those. Glad I found one naturally, was spending too much time in the auction house looking for these!

Комментарий от Thottbot

I went back to the wetlands today in search of another iridescent pearl. I found one in the second giant clam that I found on the sea floor. I also slayed Merlocks for hours and collected 27 hard shelled clams. I waited to open them all at once so that I wouldn't get frustrated with finding only clam meat. Long story short: 27 hard clams + 3 Giant clams (on sea floor) equaled two small lustrous pearls and that one iridescent (yes, the one I found right away). It's still a pain in the butt, I'm still bidding on them in the auction house because they're so useful, but now I've found two iridescent pearls in two days on the wetlands coast.

Комментарий от Thottbot

Just to confirm, you can in fact get this from the turtles in the river just east of southshore. I ran it about 3 times and found 1 pearl. They're in the thick shell clams they drop.

Комментарий от Thottbot

Farming for iridescent pearls is what makes the small lustrous pearls so ludicrously cheap in AH, because you pull out three of these for every iridescent pearl found in a clam.

Комментарий от Thottbot

If you come out of Booty Bay and make a left towards to Bloodsail Camp. Then when you get to the camp make a right and go over the bridge. Stick to the shore and go north until you reach the NAGA. When you kill them they drop the clams. Out of 15 clams got 2 Irridecent and 1 black pearl.

Good drop rate and easy to farm.

Комментарий от Thottbot

I thought pearls come from oysters not clams?

Комментарий от Thottbot

so i have been hunting these things down, and today it finally happened, GNOMER, grime encusted objects, sparklematic and poof, IRIDESCENT PEARL! i got 3 out of 27 grime encusted objects. best drop rate i have seen for these. hope this helps someone else too.

Комментарий от Thottbot

Blizzard needs to fix the drop rate for these dang things. I just pissed away 3 hours killing murlocs around wetlands without a single drop. I have 65 Tangy Clam Meats woop didi doo. I understand grinding but this is ridiculous.

Комментарий от Thottbot

The quest Blueleaf Tubers, obtained from Mebok Mizzyrix in Ratchet, always gives A Small Container of Gems as a reward, with an 80% chance to contain an Iridescent Pearl. The quest is completed in Razorfen Kraul: 3 minutes to Camp Taraujo by air, 3 minutes to RFK by mount (5 minutes on foot), and 10-15 minutes to complete the quest (for a 58 Hunter), plus the return trip, and you're almost guaranteed one Iridescent Pearl.

There's also a good chance that the Small Container of Gems will contain Moss Agate and Lesser Moonstone, in case you're wanting to smith a Shining Silver Breastplate.

Комментарий от Thottbot

I got 2 Small Lustrous Pearls and a Iridescent Pearl from about 20 murloc kills in the wetlands in about 20 mins. I seem to farm the things.

Комментарий от Thottbot

I was killing the Bluegill Murlocs in the wetlands being a (only 26) horde it was hard getting there. I spent around an hour and a half or more. I managed to get two Small Lustrous Pearls, but no Iridescent Pearls. On the bright side I had enough Tangy clam meat to level up my cooking skill from 150 to 170.

I'm going to South Shore to see if i have any luck there. Oh yea they dropped a ton of Murloc fins, shiny fish scales, and slimy Murloc scales.

My advice? Only go for these Murlocs if you're a leather worker.

Комментарий от Thottbot

Does anyone know if these can be found in any ores from prospecting?

Комментарий от Thottbot

In the AH of my realm they cost at the moment about 15g a piece, so i went to find them myself in hillsbrad foothills.
This is what I came up with:
I just went along the coast west of southshore, killed about 50 to 60 murlocs in 40 minutes and ended up with 3 iridescent pearls and 2 small lustrous pearl, 2 of the iridescent i found within the first quarter of the western strand, the 2 small pearls i found in the final quarter. Another thing i noticed, was the unusual high drop rate of the clams, more than 50% had one of them

Комментарий от Allakhazam

i found one in a chest in vul'gol ogre mound in duskwood, how it got there, dont ask me XD

Комментарий от Allakhazam

got one from a clam from the murlocs below southshore hillsbrad

Комментарий от Allakhazam

I grind at Menethil harbor atthe WEST

i been there 30min and no drops!

waist of time to go there

Комментарий от Allakhazam

WEll, as these were the highest drop rate and I wanted some and didnt want to pay a gold or so each, thought I'd see how tough it was to find em in Giant clams.

First..westfall..they drop Clam meat. so thinking you will only get Small lusterous pearls from those.

Then tried Wetlands, out of the 5? or so Clams I opened I got 1 Iridescent Pearl, and they all had Tangy clam meat..one dropped 3 meat.

So likely..anyone that has Tangy meat will drop it.

As someone mentioned.the ones in STV..though I havent farmed those myself..seem to drop Blue Pearls.

1 pearl for 10 mins swimming and every 5 Giant clams is not too much work for me..I'll try again and see if I was just lucky.

Other reports of What type area/clam meat and what pearl you get would be Great.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Like so many others, I wanted to make the Shadowsilk Boots, which require two Iridescent Pearls as well as several Spider's Silk. Now, both of these go for relatively high prices on the AH; not 7g as a poster would have you believe (at least, not on Silver Hand), but 1-2g each, which I was unwilling to pay.

As it happened, my level 41 Paladin hadn't yet done the Southshore quests htat require killing lots of Murlocs and Daggerspine Nagas, so I headed up there after getting lots of Spider's Silk. I went through the whole quest series- 20 specific kills, 30 more for the heads (which have a 33% drop rate... indicating that two out of three Murlocs have no heads), then 16 Naga. Plus of course the incidental goobers that popped up when you were trying to hit something else.

I got about 30 Big=Mouth Clams as drops, and out of them, one single solitary Iridescent Pearl. And not a single Green item dropped along the way. But I did get the quests done, which was worth a little, and I did get the pearl.

But next time I'm just going to post to the Trade channel "Trading my Spider's Silk for your Iridescent Pearl, 1 to 1." They sell for about the same amount, so why not?

Комментарий от Allakhazam

i guess this wont help low levels much but my best farming spot is beach west of southshore. full of lvl 28-30 murlocs which drop thick shelled clams. 15 mins farming, 40 clams = 5 iridescent pearls and 1 small lustrous one.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Found one in the barnacled clam dropped by Young Threshadon in Loch Modan

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Found these pearls in the instance dungeon in the Strand.I think both came off Snapclaw's.I used WR to upload todays info on them.On the vendor selling pearls:Someone sells to vendor and till you leave or sell another item you can still buy that item back for what they paid you for it.The vendors listed are popular "unload" spots.This should be looked into if thats the case.Generating false info and/or old info that should be removed.None sell them.

Found 5 in the thick shelled clams dropped by naga at The Ruins of Elderath in Azshara

Комментарий от Allakhazam

I think the price for these in the AH on any server is ridiculous! I wish Blizzard would make items like this slightly less rare or hard to get.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Guess what ? I sell theese pearls at AH with a 7 Gold buyout price. AND THE PLAYERS BUY IT.
Im playing on a medium populated server in alliance side, the whole thing was started with the spider silk craftable boots, (the mats contains pearls) so i read this page and went to farm Bluegill Murlocks. I didnt counted the Tangy Meats at farmtime but i just realized, Wow i got 200 gold from selling pearls at AH and selling vendor trash from murlocs, some green as well and they also dropped one blue. So now i got as much gold that i can totally own the Iridescent Pearls at AH , If i see one below 7 gold buyout price i buy it and take it out with 7g buyout price :) Its a really good gold income, This is my second character (lvl 32 human lock) and now i have 312 gold only with selling pearls, this is a great deal belive me. Thats true, at the begining you should farm a lot to get the basic money (about 100 gold), then you can afford to bouyout the other player's Pearls and take it out at your prices. You dont have to listen to me :) but i know this is just AWESOME, i got a lot of gold and i can buy almost anything i see.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

any clue where I can find these pearls?

Комментарий от Allakhazam

I found one of these in a Thick-shelled Clam ( with Tangy Clam Meat ) that dropped off a Bluegill Muckdweller in Bluegill Marsh ( Wetlands, North of Menethil Harbour ).

Must have killed 30-40 before I found it, so rare.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

I think you have to be the right level for the creature you are killing to get the pearl drop. I got a load of small lustrous and 3 or 4 iridescent pearls when i was killing level 30 turtles and level 28-30 daggerspines & murlocs in Hillsbrad, down the river from Tarren mill and then onto the shore. Kill kill kill. Kill any creature round there and you seem to get clams. Open the clams and bingo great drops UNTIL I had progressed to a higher level - no more pearl drops just clam meat.

Tried other areas too, same result. Then with my alt character i went killing in a level 20 area, she was level 20 too and bingo - got clams with pearls again, once she'd progressed - no more pearls.

So my theory is, go for creatures that drop clams around the same level that you are and you should get some decent drops.

The annoying thing is that my leather working patterns requiring pearls seemed to arrive after i'd received pearl drops and sold them.... Likewise on jade and citrine. Sigh.... i'm more careful now in stashing stuff in the bank until i'm sure my leather working won't require it.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

This is just great... these pearls sell for 3-6 G on my server and the actual Spidersilk Boots only sell for 10g, so the chances in making even the slightest profit from these is small. And not to mention those greedy bastards that start making them worth more, so then everybody thinks thats the actual prise for it so ppl start setting the prices too high.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Kolg does NOT drop this.
Kolg is not lootable after he is killed.
At least not for horde members as I tried 3 times.

Who was the crackhead who paid 50 gold for an Iridescent Pearl?

Really...if you have that much money to throw away, please feel free to send it my way.

I can use a mount in another 10 or so levels.

Well the pearls are elusive unless ya want lessers.

I'm rather disgusted and flustered with the general drop rate of ingredients needed for crafting and AH prices on items necessary to craft with.

Soon to close account if this continues.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

I've checked out Innkeeper Trelayne in Duskwood and Falkan Armonis in the Wetlands. Neither of these vendors sell the pearls. Perhaps they did at one time but they do not anymore.

(They did drop 15 greens and a gargoyle's bite, but no pearls ARGH)

Picked up and opened 50 Thick-shelled Clams yesterday, all from Bluegill Marsh. Didn't record which mob dropped which clam. Got 50 tangy clam meat, 3 small lusterous pearls and 2 iridescent pearls. Probably going to collect another 50 today. Whole poiant was to collect Iridescent Pearls.

After grinding again but then to Swamp of sorrow ( all the way to the east) murlocs

i killed the whole beach 4 times and gues what there was a drop x8 times

Next time all grind at Swamp of sorrows

My party picked up about...5 or 6 of these in BFD before we got our asses kicked at the hard part.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Well, I'm going to kill turtles and naga in Black Fathon because I need to raise my cooking skill a few points and tangy clam meat is one of the only things left I can obtain to raise it. So while I collect the clam meat, I'll be looking out for iridescent pearls. I'll let you know.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Opened another 50 Thick-shelled Clams with the following results: 50 Tangy Clam Meat, 4 Iridesent Pearls and 3 Small Lustrous Pearls. Once again all in Bluegill Marsh.

Grand Totals: 100 Thick-shelled Clams
6 Iridescent Pearls
6 Small Lustrous Pearls
100 Tangy Clam Meat

Seems going price in Ironforge is around 1g for Iridescent Pearls and Small Lustrous weren't selling too well.

Someone said these could be found by fishing in certain spots. Any validation on that?

Комментарий от Maaarf

These things are an absolute @#$%^ to get when you want them, I spent sooo many hours trying, and failing, to get these when I need them for something.
My advice, keep any that you find as you go about your wow time, as you may well need them at some point later and it's MUCH nicer just getting them from a bank character then spending hours grinding out clams that don't have any in them.

Комментарий от casonator

A good little money-maker early in Hardcore Classic. Used for Сапоги из паучьего шелка and Сияющая серебряная кираса for some strong low-level blues. Murlocs in Wetlands and on the shores of Hillsbrad Foothills are an early spot to farm these pearls.

Комментарий от Octavia88

Last night in sod I am pretty sure I witnessed a miracle lol. I was completing the kill the murlocs quest in wetlands as a lvl 21 priest first clan they dropped had one in it. By the time I had killed enough to complete quest I had gotten a second pearl. I’m on the realm chaos bolt. I was amazed I never figured they’d drop that fast for me I immediately went and made spidersilk boots

Комментарий от ReelJV

Best way to get these in SoD, in my experience, is to do the Blue Leaf Tuber quest in RFK. You can only do it once per char, but I've gotten 1 on the turn in on all 4 of my 25s. I haven't met anyone who hasn't gotten one from turning the quest either. I can't say its 100% chance to get one, but it is in my experience.

Edit: My friend's 3rd alt DID NOT get an iridescent pearl from blue leaf tubers. I have seen roughly 13 of 14 quest turn-ins give one now. It is NOT 100%, but it is high.
