A pearl

Pearls, as well as small pearls, are only available as already-harvested samples in the original version of the game. The only shellfish found in Skyrim are clams, and unlike in previous games they do not produce pearls. However, if Dragonborn is installed, pearls and small pearls can be harvested in Solstheim from pearl oysters.

In terms of combinations of two ingredients, Pearls can be combined with 64 other ingredients.

Ingredients

Guaranteed samples can be found in the following locations:

• 3 in the Greathall^DB of Skaal Village (Solstheim), in a locked display case
• 2 in Geirmund's Hall (The Rift)
• 1 in Valerica's Study^DG (Castle Volkihar)
• 1 in Frossel ^DB alongside 4 Small Pearls

This ingredient is not in the VendorItemIngredient category that allows it to be traded by apothecary merchants (see bugs).

The only way to make this ingredient become available from apothecary merchants is to unlock the Merchant perk (requires level 50 Speech), at which point it is a "rare" ingredient.

The remaining way to obtain pearls is in random loot, but the chances of pearls appearing in any given location are generally small. The best bets are:

• Uncommon- and rare-type apothecary's satchels have a 2% chance of containing one
• Warlocks and Forsworn have a 0.5% chance of carrying one

Notes

• Pearls are only a "rare" ingredient for apothecary merchants. For the other leveled lists that might spawn them, they are an "uncommon" ingredient.

Bugs

• This ingredient cannot normally be bought from apothecary merchants, even though it should be available according to their merchandise leveled lists. It also cannot be sold to apothecary merchants; it can only be sold to general goods merchants.
  • The Unofficial Skyrim Patch, version 1.2, fixes this bug.
