Black Pearls are a resource in ARK: Survival Evolved. They can be obtained by harvesting dead Trilobite,
Deathworm,
Eurypterid,
Ammonite,
Tusoteuthis, Alpha Tusoteuthis and
Alpha Mosasaur. They can also drop as rare loot when catching fish with a
Fishing Rod. Gachas can also produce many items as well as black pearls depending on the gacha.
Black Pearls are used in crafting and are a key component in Tek Tier crafting recipes.

Use an Ichthyosaurus or
Manta to hunt
Eurypterid. They have no knockback and don’t gain any
Torpidity, which the Eurypterids can massively inflict. This allows you to attack and kill them effortlessly. Be wary however, the eurypterid also rapidly drains the stamina of tamed dinos and will leave you vulnerable to the other terrors of the deep.
Otters have an ability to rarely collect Black Pearls from fish corpses.
There is an another way to hunt them is to hit one with a Grappling Hook and then use a fast water mount to drag it to the shore, where it can be harvested by a
Therizinosaur for extra pearls.
An End-Game way is making use of a Megalodon, equipped with the
Megalodon Tek Saddle, it can kill a
Tusoteuthis with the element pulses. When killed, the Megalodon can harvest the Black Pearls very easy. (Also works with / on
Mosasaurus, but harvesting with Megalodon gives more Black Pearls, and the Mosasaur is harder to kill.)
Beelzebufo do increased damage against
Eurypterid and also gather black pearls at an increased rate.
While a Eurypterid only drops a few pearls, an
Alpha Mosasaur drops 100 Black Pearls and an
Alpha Tusoteuthis drops 75.

Ragnarok[edit | edit source]
A black variant of the clam, like Silica Pearls, can be found in Ragnarok. These can be harvested for 5-20 black pearls. Black Pearl collection from said clams now scales with the Harvest Amount setting of your server.
Aberration[edit | edit source]
A black variant of the clam, like Silica Pearls, can be found near the rivers at Graves of the Lost. These can be harvested for 5-20 black pearls, but can be dangerous due to radiation and nearby threats (Such as
Nameless,
Rock Drake and any aggressive dino dropped from above). Moreover, unlike the clams that gives Silica Pearls, the clams disregards loot drop multiplier from server setting, and as such does not give extra Black Pearls at any rate past 1.
Extinction[edit | edit source]
In Extinction, Black Pearls can be produced by Gacha. This allows one to easily acquire large amounts of Black Pearls by feeding
Stone and other resources to a
Gacha. Using the Gacha is the best way to harvest black pearls.
Black Pearls are also dropped by large corrupted carnivores such as Corrupted Spino,
Corrupted Rex,
Corrupted Wyvern, and
Corrupted Giganotosaurus in the north. These creatures have a small chance of dropping 1-6 black pearls.
Crystal Isles[edit | edit source]
A black variant of the clam, like Silica Pearls, can be found in the Crystal Isles. They can be located in the water bubbles in the Eldritch Isle. These can be harvested for 5-20 black pearls. Black Pearl collection from said clams now scales with the Harvest Amount setting of your server.
Valguero[edit | edit source]
A black variant of the clam, like Silica Pearls, can be found in Valguero. These can be harvested for black pearls.
