Just go to eldrich zone on crystal isles and look for big bubbles that have some black clams/oysters inside of them, put your angler fish inside the bubble, harvest, and enjoy the best black pearls harvester in the entire game, super easy, rank up for people to see this.

On Fjordur, the only way to obtain Black Pearls without going underwater is through, one, the Magmasaur den at the volcano in a cave inside the Fire Wyvern den, or two, from taming Gachas found in Asgard. Hope this helps anyone playing on the new map.

On the new map, Lost Island- there is a sunken ship in the very bottom left corner. I mean, tucked almost right in the corner, where the barriers meet. If you go inside the sunken ship, to the bottom of it, you will find clams full of only black pearls. The devs have a sense of humor, I'll give them that!

Also dropped by alpha tuso and mosa

Just become Jack Sparrow and summon Calypso

first tame an ichthy then go to rag about 75,23 more black pearls then you can carry on the sea floor and not to dangerous just keep an eye out for megs

When you want black pearls in great quantity, here are some things I suggest.

1: Ragnarok: Vikings bay. Bring a good crossbow to one shot any water scorpions, they drop TONS of black pearls.

2:Extiction: Gachas. Sometimes when taming gachas, you can get one that produces black pearls. They produce in big quantities, and for me is by far the safest and easiest way to get the black pearls. Like if this helps!😄

I just threw a my otter in water thinking I could get some fish meat but when I came to it, it gave me 30 pearls! I kept doing this until I got 230 pearls ands that’s how I got a tuso

Carnivorous plants in Gen2 give black Pearls, harvest them with best chainsaw you got

"This is for only mobile players. Just tame a otter and turn on his/her victim item collection from the corner side of your device and give his/her agreesion to attack target and whistle it to follow you. Then go to small fishes and punch them and wait for some time. Keep warned that your otter's have to kill and hervest that not you. If the otter kill and hervst the fish then it will give you black Pearl. But it has only 35.78% chance to give you black Pearl.This is the tip to get black Pearl safely without any damage. Jay hind

The Island- There are 4 steps.

1- Kill EVERY Trilobite you see and use an axe to harvest them.

2- Tame and train a dinosaur to ride underwater (I suggest Baryonix. It’s fast on land and in water and can breathe air and water and fight like crazy)

3- Ride your Dino to the bottom of the Ocean.

4- Ride around the edge of the map and kill every Trilobite, Sea Scorpion, Ammonote and Squid you see.

I got 100+ black pearls going along all 4 edges.

A Alpha mosasaur around level 18 in ark mobile dropped 100 black pearls so now I can tame the tuso 😁

If you run the deathworm cave you can get a fair amount of these, with the benefit of leech blood, deahworms horns and shitloads of chitin

They have a rare chance to be loot from fishing

I'm on mobile and usually play on unofficial but the way I get tons of black pearls and bio tox is just get a high lvl basilos then go around the sea floor and just kill everything

When low level tame otter and make it kill fish there is a chance it will get a black pearl

Otters gather black pearls (along with silica pearls) when they are told to target and kill fish. I’m pretty sure they get more pearls with a higher melee stat too

Fjordur -

#1 - Diplocaulus, eat trilobites

#2 - Wyvern - Park on beach, lure in eurypterid and eat

#3 - Otter - have it kill fish

These are slower, but fairly easy early game ways to collect without going to ocean bottom.

If you’re on ragnarok, go to the sunken ship with a spino that has a couple points into weight and damage , then farm the eurypterids that spawn there for insane black pearls. Since they spawn so often, you can keep going there are get way more black pearls that you’ll need

The one best way on island is to get black pearls by killing alpha mosa they spawn common behind carno or dead island or by erypterid sea scorpions they droop too
