Farming Iridescent Pearl — WoW Classic

WoW Classic · Original WoW / Classic Era
Updated 21 October 2026

How to farm Iridescent Pearl

Open Thick-shelled Clams from aquatic enemies such as Bluegill Muckdwellers in the Wetlands. The clam normally contains Tangy Clam Meat and only occasionally a pearl. Big-mouth Clams can also contain one.

Classic Era, TBC and Wrath use the original Azeroth terrain. Cataclysm and Mists use the reworked world, so use a route for your realm’s terrain.
