Black Pearls

[Veltaine]

ive made black pearls with just the oysters.. buuuuuuuut, theres not just one specific moon phase for it..

its very very random. ive made 5 in one stack, and 1 in another, both on full moons.. lol

i use primary tool only (<-lazy)

so pretty much, you just gotta take a bunch at a time, and just throw em to the sky and hope for the best. gl!

I recently got 6 black pearls from 55 Blackslip Oysters (NQ, except for 1 HQ).

I used my secondary tool (mythril knife) every time, and did careful synths every time. I might have used preserve a few times but didn't use any crafting skills consistantly. I did have guild support and ate +control food.. and I boosted my Piety with rings (someone told me piety has an affect on quality.. there's even an ability for it or something)

I never had luck getting em before...but this little set-up worked for me.. hope it might help someone else. Good Luck~

Where exactly can i find the Blackslip Oysters? I have been killing the Yarzon feeder for the few ive gotten but can they be gathered? and if so where?

Try the Hippocurfs near Camp Glory.

Why don't you just farm the Goblin Bouncers in Mor Dhona. They drop nq and hq black pearls. Seems like trying to synth them is a waste of time.

so they finally did this huh? too bad

but then again, post patch, making pearls now is REALLLLLY easy..

out of 8 HQ oysters, 7 became pearls.. and the other one was just me pressing the wrong button lol

O.o Thanks for the info on what drops the pearls!

Now if you know what drops vampire plants or pineapples, Ill be happy camping.

I get alot of vampire plants as leve rewards and in chests in those same leves. Pineapples? prickly pineapples? also from leves, the wolves in them specifically.

I heard the drop rate from bouncera is super low. Im 50cul and with the right set of abilities and a little bit of patience you could hq blacklip oysters with no problem. So far im 5 out of 10. But the first five loses was me figuring out how to hq. After i got it it was pearls heaven
