Fishing on mobile gives this, easiest and non risk method (i tried with leech blood in a river)

ASA Astraeos

(Starter/Easy) Go to the center of volcano on Therokis, and follow the path of the lava. You’ll find black pearls you can grab on foot alongside the lava river and inside the volcano.

(Endgame/Hard) Go into the water near the Clams under Phokintos. You’ll want to use a water tame like an angler.

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

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

I hear that otters gather them for survivor's

15 points   Sep 1, 2022   Report

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

Gachas get about 60 per good crystal if you’re lucky or they get 25-30

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.

My favorite way to get these is an Gen 1 in the ocean. I kill as many ammonites as I can on a sarco or bary, then run into one of the vaccum chambers and wait it out. Not efficient, but I'm scared of the volcano lol

Heeps of Black Pearl's in a sunken ship , Ragnarok cor 48.6 long , lad 04.5 . And you'll need to bring friends or tames with alot of weight. I gathered over 2k black Pearl's here.

If on the center you can use the a tueso and it’s grab ability to instantly kill alpha mosasaurs by putting them inside the bubble. The bubble beside the skull has three that spawn right next to the bubble at a high consistency. 100 black pearls each one with gear that comes with it

If you are playing console find eurypterids on rag in the VB waters. Lead them to land kill them and mine them with a chain saw to get lots of black pearls
