That's what a ship is, you know. It's not just a keel and a hull and a deck and sails, that's what a ship needs but what a ship is... what the Black Pearl really is... is freedom.
They sell for 8g because Enchanters need them to create a Runed Truesilver Rod, you can't get much above 225 enchanting without it.
I finally got one after farming for about half an hour on the Naga cave south of Feathermoon, Feralas.
I was kinda annoyed at the beginning because every time I opened a Big-Mouth Clam I was hoping that was the one which would drop it. After a few minutes I decided to wait until I had a few clams and clicking them all very fast and what do you know, it dropped and the wait seemed shorted, hehe
Anyway, I killed the following number of mobs before seeing it drop:
24 x Hatecrest Serpent Guard
25 x Hatecrest Sorcerest
2 x Lord ShalzaruBasically I cleaned the cave 2 times before it dropped and meanwhile I got the following:
36 x Fish Oil
05 x Moonberry Juice
12 x Raw Spotted Yellowtail
32 x Zesty Clam Meat
01 x Small Lustrous Pearl
01 x Iridescent Pearl
01 x Black PearlI liked this cave because it has decent respawn time, by the time I got to the top, the lower portion and the entrance already have some new mobs. The entrance to the cave is around 26,66.
