How do i get 20 Pearls?

[TheTylerLee]

hey! Well im bored because the server is offline, and i decided i want a pearl necklace .. This is what im capable of

I have 75 Marksman and 50 Perception (i can kill bears)

I have 80 Exploration, and 50 perception (I can see most/all Foragables)

thats pretty much my only stats, So what would get me the most pearls? Selling bear corpses? or selling Crates of mid-level Curios, Or selling a few Good curios, Or even just getting the clams myself and cooking thhem myself

Pearls are usually sold by those who have nothing else of value to offer to those with nice metal, clay, soil, water, trees. I don't know if there is a big market for bear corpses vs pearls. I would buy both, but sell none of them.

ahh well I soppose ill have to get my own pearls, i mean i see all the clams anyways ;p

[Skorm]

the only possible option i actually see here is to sell( A LOT) of boiled mussels for uncooked mussels, though rates would have to be crazy high for it to happend ( i doubt you eat all of em anyway)

[TheTylerLee]

well one person in the village eats them , But i mean i see like 10+ in 1 spot, and we are in a very rich Clam area, i see so many i dont even pick them up because its annoying,
But ima just stock up on them like all day tomorrow, and try and get atleast 1 pearl a day

(ive already cooked about 200 and havent got a pearl)

This. But if you were to sell bear corpses at below standard exchange value to someone for pearls, that would work. Remember, when you make a trade, both parties have to get something they want - in this case, you get a pearl for several bears, since your goal is a pearl necklace, and they can trade those several bears to make themselves a profit.

Also, you could try buying something from a more established economy with bears, say a merch robe or something, and then try selling it for pearls. Problem is, you might find it hard to find a buyer, since other people can get bears easier than pearls also... so they would just buy from the established economy too.

And yes, if you pick up all you find, you should be able to find 1-2 per day. Its really boring though, I even prefer searching for frogs. Get an alt with a backpack and 2 trav sacks to do the boiling for you.

when i focus i get around 4 pearls a day(never actually no-lifed a day to hunt pearls, might have to try it) it's just about luck, but my rule is "no mussel left behind"

One thing to note, if you grind enough mussels, you will find high q mussel spots. If you get a pearl higher q than 10, I'm pretty sure people would buy it off you for more than 1 q10 pearl.

someone int he forum suggested before carrying your cauldron and going pearl hunting, fill ur ivnentory then cook and dump and move on.

i eat them for psyche but to get any pearls u need to got hroguh A LOT. u wont be able to eat through all of them

I actually wouldn't value a higher q pearl that much. For RoBs they are not that useful anymore with the changed formula and goldbeaters skin. For necklace ok...but I need 20 of them.
