Giant Clams the real grind of summerset

A friend and I decided to do some fishing in Summerset then moved on to Arteum where we caught the two psijic recipes, the purple 'brings fish to you" and the gold is a better version of the Dubious camoran.
Both recipes seemed great, and I hopped onto my crafter and made 4 of the fishing one, among the ingrdients was 3 of the new 'Clam Gall' which I happened to get out of a bottle fishing in Summerset. The gold recipe takes 4 'Powdered Mother of Perl'.
I decided to go try and farm those so I could make some of the food. Couple hours later and I had a whopping ONE clam gall. The giant clams arent very plentiful, and I probably harvested a dozen and only got 1 ingrdient.
Clam digging makes finding seams feel like childs play. Clam juice is the real grind of summerset.
Anyone know if that gold recipe is the new BIS for stamina characters?
Edit: btw the recipes are bind on pickup so they cant be bought or sold. Get fishin!

✭✭✭✭✭Whats the effect of the purple one that brings fish to you? I tried to test it on the PTS but was stymied by my inability to farm enough clam gall before the server reset, LOL.0 -
badmojo✭✭✭✭✭
✭Its unclear to me exactly what effect it had on fishing, but I did catch the blue rare about two casts after eating it while fishing alone, and both my friend and I seemed to catch a lot of named fish. One thing I did notice it doing was letting us catch multiple fish at once. Sometimes we would pull in a Dhufish and a couple minnows in the same cast.[DC/NA]7 -

✭✭✭✭✭Thank you and that's amazing! I'm gonna have to get this recipe for sure. At least it wasnt hard,to get on the PTS.0 -
AmrayiaSoul ShrivenCan someone post a screenshot of the recipe? I'm so curious and can't find the purple anywhere!0 -

waitwhat✭✭✭✭✭well, I'm not happy that clam gall is so hard to farm, but it looks like that gold recipe is the stamina counterpart to the Clockwork Citrus Filet for magicka. Clockwork Citrus Filet requires a Perfect Roe, so it would make sense to have the stam recipe require equivalently difficult-to-farm mats. I just wish that mat was another Perfect Roe rather than mother of pearl.PS4 NA AD ScourgeVivec Loading Screen Simulator 2017

veloSylraptor✭✭✭Yeah, I was disappointed after picking up a few clams and not getting any. Decided its probably not worth farming clams.
On a side note, did you "catch" the recipe? or was it in those waterlogged psijic container things?0 -

They were in the waterlogged psijic containers.
On the PTS, I'd gotten both recipes in less than a hundred casts, and got the purple recipe on Live pretty quickly in 5-6 containers.Edited by VaranisArano on May 23, 2018 11:32AM0 -

They look kinda like this:
This is a picture of a furniture piece courtesy of mmo-fashion, the actual harvestable clam is nowhere near as big. Its actually pretty hard to spot while you're riding by, I discovered my first by accident. Also, they don't shine like other alchemy materials do under the appropriate passive.
Edit: sorry for not giving a screenshot of the actual thing, tried looking for it for an hour so I can update this post. I didn't manage that, so...Edited by veloSylraptor on May 24, 2018 9:29AM4 -

✭✭✭✭✭Are these clams typically in the water or on land?
Nevermind, found a few. Well I’m not saying they’re too rare but they’re way too hard to see. Requires you to point your view at the ground and run around. It’s awful. And the actual clam gall drop rate is terrible. @ZOS_GinaBruno maybe we can at least make them more visible?Edited by Vapirko on May 24, 2018 12:59PM3 -

✭✭✭✭✭1) Clams need a recolour, they're currently grey and sitting upon grey rocks. Very hard to see.
2) Clams need to light up with alchemy keen eye perk
3) Clams need to drop more gall and mother of pearl. 1 guaranteed drop of either of both ingredient per clam isn't too much16 -
YamiKuruku✭✭✭✭i only found 3 clams so far and in two of them i got alkahest and worms, thank you game xD

making them pinkish would make them look different from the rock texture and the dead coralls and also wouldnt look too strange
i hope they change this somehow!
also, clams are also found on summerset, yes? why not put them all over tamriel like the seams? that would help but i guess then they wouldn't be so rare anymore heh-{ PC EU }-x Khazadaar > lvl50 EP | Khajiit magblade | Main&Master Crafter | Bloodletter

✭✭✭✭✭@Glaiceana
Exactly, for the rarity and the time and effort considered when trying to find these, they should all at least drop 1 clam gall and 1 mother of pearl, with chance for more item drops, furniture items etc.
Finding one of these and then only find trash like that inside is an insult. Gall and Pearl are both consumables, needed in food recipes and potions, they should be more readily available than this.6 -
CaveSquirrel✭✭For those that were asking themselves what the purple fishing food does:
You get 2 fishdrops when you fish with another person.
Only with a single other person though.
So:
When you fish alone= 1 Drop
When you fish with more than 2 at one hole= 1 drop.
When you fish with 1 other person= 2 DropsEdited by CaveSquirrel on May 25, 2018 11:18AM4 -

I still hear a lot of contradicting rumours about this. I even started a recent thread to clarify what the food actually does, and whether it's working as intended.0 -
