Black Pearls

[Veltaine]

has anyone been able to make this since the HQ system has been modified? im just curious since it was a +3 synth, i havent tried personally, but willing to try if its still available :3

I made a Black Pearl +1 but needed a HQ oyster to do it. Your results may vary.

It's like old HQ1.

ok im lost, is it true that black pearls come from HQ'd Raw Oysters (Oyster + Lemon)? If so which hand, P or S? And that white pearls come from Secondary -> Oyster -> Sea Sand? Cuz a few months ago i got at least 3-5 pearls per stack of oysters(from HQ sea sand recipe). the last few weeks I've gotten exactly ZERO. >.< daddy needs some cash, what am i doing wrong?

You can make black pearls with NQ blacklip oysters with primary tools. I use quality increasing abilities to assist with it. I think if you use a HQ blacklip oyster it has the chance to be a +1 pearl, but I'm not certain. Same goes for R.Oysters and regular pearls. Also, it's rumored that some moon phases up quality per synth, though it's just a rumor.

hmm, thanks for the clarification about black pearls. there's some strange mis-information floating around out there. can this possibly be correct?:

but just so i know im not going crazy:

secondary tool --> rothlyt oysters -> HQ --> chance for white pearl

this hasn't changed right? cuz my success rate is, again, at 0/99 which is kinda bizarre (for white pearls)

I've always made it with primary tools. I haven't had success with secondary.
