Tips & Strategies

What are tips for black pearl? Tips and strategies for black pearl in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Ragnarok in Viking Bay around the sunken ship in the middle of the bay and also at 10 90. There’s a tiny tip of a Boulder to land a flyer out there. The water is shallower in that area. Another sunken ship there with lots of lobsters to kill.
Aberration down in the red hazard zone. They can be picked up off the ground down there.
Genesis in the volcano biome. Down in the Magmasaur pit they can be picked up off the ground there too.
For the safest but NOT the most efficient way of getting black pearls is to tame a bunch of otters, and order them to kill a fish in the water. They will usually collect silica pearls, but can sometimes collect black pearls.
If you want to kill Tusos for BPs, tame a Basilo. They can’t be grabbed by the Tuso and still do decent damage
If u play at Ragnarok just get to the ship in vicking bay and farm a lot of black pearls
Use otters it’s fun and there cute.
Use an icthy because they are immune to euripterid torpor
If you own the Abberation DLC and get yourself a weight drake and some hazmat, head down to the radiation zone, right on the edge of the pink lake on most sides there will be abundant amounts of Black Pearl Oysters, I would also suggest bringing a light pet along with you for dealing with nameless.
the fun way to do it is to the "violent dance of the amphibian" dungeon and open the featured loot chest and hope you get 100× black pearls (you can save scum on singleplayer) and then beat the rest of the dungeon by killing the Beelzemorbus (bonus 60 erry element, 85 with "weekly dungeon" pursuit)
In ark mobile I accidentally pressed an advert that gives ya free stuff.After watching I got twenty black Pearl's.... I was surprised this is the only time I was impressed after watching an advert lol
U can use hard way or easy way
Hard way:Kill tuso,water scorpion and trobite
Easy way:Use otter
For the person who is saying that otter can collect black pearls in mobile only is not true you can get pearls by otter's harvesting method on PC also. I hope this was helpful for PC players.
This is a slow process but its just for those who want 1 or 2 black pearls
First:get a chair
Second:Get sap
Third:Find a spot with fish (Coel or salmon)
Fourth: Wait for them to bite and reel them in,the bigger the fish size the more rewards,sooner or later you will get 1 black pearl
Simply make a tuso farm and there you go
Anyone on valguero knows that these don’t exist. I went to EVERY location that Dododex said there was and their wasn’t….. now I’m never going to tame a freaking tuso
If You Have Tuso You Can Easly Kill Alpha Mosa Or Tuso
There are black pearl nodes in the deep water zone on fjordur. The entrance is at about 56 lat 17 long where the hexagon formation are. Swim down.
This area is filled with mosassaurs and squid including alphas. I suggest either a fast mount with good weight, or tame a crab. It’s slower but plenty of weight and the baddies completely ignore the crab. Go grab some pearls and tame a squid :)
Abberation,
Along the forbidden koolaid (down by drakes)at bottom. Can harvest 6k + in one lap around. Make sure you have a dino with a lot of weight to get out or at least the dino retrieval pad. Suggest s-dire bear if you are using the dino retriever.
on ragnarok, you can also bring your farmer tek stryder to 78.3 - 20.6, just go underwater farm black pearls with it. you might need another dino or friend to get ride of megalodons.
p.s. you can also find black peals around 54.1 - 18.9 too.

Kill Giant Squid you will get 30 in minimum or more...
You can grind these out by harvesting dead carni flora, use something with a good aoe so you can just stand still and spam click, I got around 150 harvesting 5 groups with a shadowmane. Up so ppl can see.
