black pearls ?

Anyone know what enemies drops black pearls now with 1.21 patch?

I'm really curious as well.

their not dropped at all. you have to make them in the same fashion as you do pearls. via cooking

Cooking blacklip oyster = Sea sand, or HQ will yield Black pearl or black pearl +1


the mobs that drop the blacklip oysters are the anomone in cassiopiea or the hippogryphs in coarethas

Don't think if anyone has found the drop, that they would share it at this point in time

Cornering the market is what people do. ;)

ive been told that some of the lvl 45-50 quirkin drop them but i have yet to verify. also yello gremlin states that theres a chance goblin bouncers drop them http://ffxiv.yg.com/item/black-pearl?id=10004126

Goblin Bouncers do drop them. low rate tho. like an hr for 6-8 pearls.

I'm also very curious which mobs drop these. I'm not sure you can still synth a +1, so it's possible the only way to get a HQ is from mob drop. My very limited, personal window on this, post patch is 7/7 NQ, but that's not to say the +1 can't be synthed, for sure.

Where is the best concentration of goblin bouncers, btw?

I already told Jadi that the black pearls are now droppable too Vasst.
I am currently looking for the mob that does drop 'em.
And i don't think you can make an HQ black pearl since the only tier of HQ is now +1 and since HQing a blacklip oyster is a black pearl...

Only 1 HQ tier now, so no +1 pearls from cooking anymore. If you want the +1 pearls, hunt the mobs that drop it. I read bouncers do on Yg as mentioned in the thread. Hyppocerfs don't seem to drop it, maybe the same mobs that drop the uncultured pearls (the white pearl) drop black pearls now too. Tried the anemone type mobs same drop as before and no black pearls. Bouncers drop them for sure, got 1 out of 3 mobs.

If you used this item to make gil before, I'm sorry for you and it's time to move on. They added two more recipes that use black pearls, so doesn't seem it's a glitch and there (probably) won't be any coming back to "it's hard make and rare". I hope you sold enough of them when they were still worth a millionish the pearl/ring. ;)

I got Black Pearl (lots) off a mob and even dropped a +1 Black Pearl..but when I posted where and which mob I got yelled at by a bunch of people ;~;

Goblin Bouncers drop the pearls.

Goblin Bouncers drop your pearls and they drop them quick. Duoed with a friend and we got enough to make both of us a full set of pearl items in just over 30 mins. (course it also helps to be quick on the claim game as there are usually other people there). So if you don't mind going to odd, out of the way, buttcrack of the world places, you will find them there.

Also, as a rank 50 cul can I just say THANK GOD there is a way to farm pearls directly...I always hated having to grind stacks of oysters for people when they wanted pearls. It wasn't exactly quick and I can make money quicker in other, quicker ways. (even pre 1.21).

...or you could all just wait another weekish...the price of them already dropped about 30% on my server....the jewelry made from them dropped about 20% in price already (last I looked).

I appreciate you sharing this information with the FFXIV community.

Really it's not a big deal that they drop them other than for HQ. It's really easy to make black pearls now as well, so they should be accessible for everyone.

I can hq this as cul very easily but takes time.. I think farming goblin bouncers would yield faster black pearls. Cuase the hq process is long and risky

Well, i confirm that goblin bouncers drop the pearls, i have actually all the black pearl jewelry +1, the drop rate wasnt the bad i thought, but you will have to kill goblins for a while, but its possible to get a lot of black pearls NQ and enough +1 for your jewelry in one afternoon :)

I'm hating the bouncers. They've been more than generous with the nq pearls but when it comes to +1.... i won't believe it til i see one drop! that is just a couple hours of killing without a +1 dropping speaking through me.
