Drop rate For Blue Perls seems to be better in STV than Wetlands..

Kommentar von 99814

I just completed this quest and had 100% drop rate from the clams. They didn't even drop clam meat 100% of the time, but they did drop a pearl every time. This was in STV at the Vile Reef.

Kommentar von Gwiez

Am I crazy, but didn't Find Treasure used to work on these? As of 2.4.1 nothing is showing up.

Kommentar von SanityImpaired

Don't be fooled by the number of clams shown in Darkshore. The shore there is broken ground, and a lot of the water is shallow, which makes it extremely difficult to find the clams. I'd strongly suggest farming Westfall instead, the water is much more consistent in depth so it's a lot easier to spot the clams.

The object respawn time is (nearby) 10 minutes. I'ts always different.

Kommentar von Nasus

STV not a good place to farm for Tangy Clam Meat as I never got any after 30 min.

Kommentar von 310791

Mostley spawn on areas were there is terrain difference there is 100% chance that there is 1 behind the boat i recomend u find the spawn locations of a few then farm :)

and all so i think u should farm these on a shammy or druid as of risk of drowning

They contain http://www.wowhead.com/?item=4611 For quest http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=705 at The Vile Reef, just west of Grom'Gol Base Camp.

I agree with the above that this is a terrible place to farm tangy clam meat. I found maybe 7 clams and all but 1 had pearls. Definately not recommended for farming unless u need the pearls!

Kommentar von 341217

I opened 30 clams received 27 pearls 11 giant clam meat and 0 tangy clam meat which is what I was looking for...;' (

Kommentar von Isobelle

I found and looted 47 giant clams and received 47 blue pearls, so clearly the drop rate is now greater than 55%. The biggest concentration of giant clams that I personally found were located on the Stranglethorn Vale map where it says The Vile Reef.

This is the wrong type of clam for tangy clam meat! If you are looking for this meat you want to kill murlocs because they are in the 'Thick-shelled Clams' that they drop. I was fishing in Wetlands and saw these clams were found here, but couldn't find any. I killed 2 murlocs and got a tangy clam meat off the second. The drop rate seems fairly high so good luck!

Kommentar von 421908

Yes, you want to farm for tangy clam meat. The best place I've found is south of the docks in menethil harbor, there are murloc spawning grounds down there that drop the clams fairly often.

If you're farming these Giant Clams, it's definately best to have a Druid(aquatic form), or Warlock(Unending Breath) - as you'll be doing a lot of swimming underwater. I found the clams everywhere in The Vile Reif, in STV. I started my search near an underwater ruin that was gaurded by Saltscale Forager's, Saltscale Warriors, and Saltscale Hunters (lvl 35's). The clams spawn back quite fast, about every 5 min.

I opened 30 Giant Clams, and looted 30 Blue Pearls, and 9 Giant Clam Meat. So every single one I opened had a Blue Pearl in it. ...too bad I was looking for Irridescent Pearls.

I finally decided to level my cooking skill on my main. I decided to head for Old Hillsbrad Foothills and was very glad that I did. On the coast between the areas of Azurelode Mine & Southshore, there are LOTS of Murlocs and the respawn time is pretty good. As of the current patch (3.2.2), the drop rate for me of Thick-shelled Clams was impressive (especially off the Oracles). I highly recommend you farm this area for the items in questions.

Kommentar von lovkyne

Strange, when I swimmed upon the Wetlands coast, i found in this clam Agile Boots

Kommentar von 579589

if you're looking for small lustrous pearls, forget about farming the vile reef in stv.
opened 63 clams, got 63 blue pearls, 17 giant clam meat and ZERO small lustrous pearls. ><
also, whoever was indicating the underwater breathing classes, you completely forgot about Shamans :Þ

Kommentar von 754018

What i was looking for was iridescent pearl. everyone keeps posting 'pearl' and not saying what type. I took my 61 hunter and cleared BFD including everyone one of the giant clams underwater. the giant clams produced 23 tangy clam meat
o iridescent pearls. out of the 45 thick-shelled clams i got 4 small lustrous and 1 iridescent. Bluegils in the wetlands after 25 minutes i got 25 thick-shelled with 0 iridescent pearls.
25 minutes up and down the river in hilsbrad farming the turtles produced 8 thick-shelled with only 1 small lustrous {22 med leather & 26 light leather} 0 iridescent pearls.
the murlocks in the purple area of northern STV also dropped the thick-shelled clams as did the naga on western coast of Cape of STV. all in all after 2 to 3 hours of farming these different locations i ended up with 60 tangy clam meat 8 lustrous pearls and 4 iridescent pearls.
Let me know if anyone has better luck on a different location for iridescent pearls. and BTW the giant clams in STV only gave blue pearls and no clam meat.

Kommentar von 766766

The clams near Bloodmyst Isle don't drop tangy claim meat...they drop regular clam meat. Sigh.

Kommentar von Systim

Farmed 47 of them. 47 blue pearls, 23 giant clam meat.

Kommentar von 750237

So the stats above say that the Giant clam has a 4% drop rate for Iridescent pearls. That's 4 pearls for every 100 clams - and 50 clams should mean 2 pearls.

Well, I just farmed 52 clams and did not get 1 freakin pearl - I did get 52 blue pearls and almost as much giant clam meat but no Iridescent pearls.

Again, I think that WOW has lowered the drop rate of all farmable items to such a low count that it forces players to have to join guilds etc to trade. Well, as a preferred solo player, I think this sucks!

I think that forcing players to join guilds or face the alternative which is paying outrageous prices in the AH is an unfair choice.

I mean, come on! It's not like WOW actually has to friggin pay real money to give us more of these drops! Since the shattering, chests are practically non-existent and now the professions are requiring multitudes of items from other "categories" (LW needs Alchemy and BS items for example).

This all means less actual playing and more time spent in AH's and on Trade chat and mailing items from different toons to each other so that I can make 1 bloody item. Not to mention the inventory space now required! It's all non-essential BS that adds up to less quality playtime.

Kommentar von RageTreb

If you're looking for Giant Clam Meat for cooking, this IS the right item to loot, despite it saying it only has Tangy Clam Meat. It's just that the drop rate for Giant Clam Meat is lower than Tangy Clam Meat. Don't give up!

Kommentar von Aphelyite

You sure they still drop irides. pearls? I've been looking for a few hours and I'm starting to think buying it might be worth the 300g. Should've xferred all my old mats from my old server =S
70some Blue Pearls and a little clam meat. bah. I'm buying it on the AH.

Kommentar von 795774

I just found this out myself. I wasn't looking to kill them, but they were in the way of my search, and lo and behold, they dropped clams containing the meat! The murloc fins are great too, to lvl cooking, up to a certain point.

Kommentar von 758264

tnx a lot you saved me lost time.... got some murlocs to kill now :P

Kommentar von maxecuter

Patch 4.1 has the best drop rate on them 1 out of 3 :)

Kommentar von 843721

Your best bet to farm Tangy Clam meat is to kill Nagas by Booty Bay and loot thick shelled Clam. These give you Tangy Clam Meat.

Kommentar von Elmblossom17

I was looking for Giant Clam Meat, followed the links and found this. Around the Vile Reef, I spent 40 minutes, looted about 20 of the Giant Clams, and got 6 Giant Clam Meat (and 20 Blue Pearls) for my trouble. Seems like a waste of time. Isn't there anywhere else to farm Giant Clam Meat?

Kommentar von 755244

i was looking or iridescent pearl. out of 32 thick-shelled clam i got 2 small lustrous pearl and 1 iridescent pearl. mind u i had to kill 3 times that amount of naga to actually get the thick-shelled pearl in the first place.

Kommentar von Luria

Opened 100 Giant Clams in STV.

Drops:
100 Blue Pearl
37 Giant Clam Meat

Guessing all the other drops mentioned was pre-cata. Not that 100 clams is perhaps enough to base statistics on, but still.

Kommentar von 883347

You can find Tangy Clam Meat in STV but not in the clams, you have to kill the murlocks to get it. They drop Thick Shell Clams which give you the meat.

Kommentar von 925886

If you are farming for iridescent pearl, I spent a long time swimming in BFD and never found the pearl. I went to North Strangelthorn and in the purple area, the second murlock I killed dropped it.

Kommentar von 661849

don't listen to the guy in the green chat at the top I found some of this meat on my very first giant clam

Kommentar von Acadiana

As of patch 4.3 I swam around and around the area marked in Northern Stranglethorn, and didn't come across a single clam!

Kommentar von 675774

Dunno if its just me but i just spent 45 min in Northern Stranglethorn and got a ton of blue pearls but I got Giant Clam Meat instead of Tangy.

I've also farmed a whole lot of Blue Pearls from these things in Northern Stranglethorn. So far every one that I've opened has had a Blue Pearl.

Kommentar von Brizag

The data is outdated. I just dived for about ~30 in Nördliches Schlingendorntal. Got 25 of Blaue Perle and 10 of Riesenmuschelfleisch.

Kommentar von bikkethepirate

tried going to blackfathom deeps looking for giant clam meat, only found tangy clam meat.

seems the giant clam drops loot based on location instead of that it is a giant clam.
