Has any one on XB1 ever actually found a giant clam?

I've combed the Summerset beaches for days and I honestly don't believe they exist.

✭Yes a few but I don't look anymore since you can get the goodies that come in them down in IC for stones

✭I’ve found 1 and only 1. Just try to time it at nighttime in Summerset, max out alchemy keen eye, slot rapids, and take your mount for a breakneck gallop down the beach. Look for he glowy spots, lol.Feric51

SakuraRush✭✭✭Yes. They have strict spawn locations and seem to run a timer managed by a clock with Alzheimer's.
And funny enough in the majority of cases that I've encountered one a previous player kindly left it half looted. Ruining the spawn for everyone else.1 -

AdamskiAlders✭✭✭I've seen 3 and only 3 on Xbox/Eu and I spent the first few weeks of Summerset just trawling the beaches looking for them while fishing for those Bottles. Probably wouldn't have found any if it wasn't for Keen Eye, the glow was very handy at finding them.0 -
Vizikul✭✭✭✭Not sure why you have such a hard time finding them. [removed comment] I have found about 50 in half a dozen of beach walks. Found 12 Clam galls and ~20 powdered mother of pearl ingredients in them.

The respawn timer starts the second the clam is cracked open - it doesn't matter if they leave contents behind or not, timer for respawn is the same - therefore no, they aren't ruining the spawn for anybody else."You must defeat me every time. I need defeat you only once"2 -

Interesting. So you're saying a node that a player leaves garbage in will despawn and respawn again full in the same amount of time that a node emptied would respawn in?
It certainly doesn't seem to work that way. But I have no way to prove it one way or the other.0 -

✭I found 5 on the EU server just doing the Summerfall event. I pick up 5 to 10 every time I go to Summerset to fish. I do have keen eye set for alchemy.
I always loot everything.0 -

Yup it's the same either way, but there are influencing factors to respawn time. More people in the zone at the time = faster respawn rates. There's also the fact that each resource types seems to have different timers. And the fact that a node isn't always going to respawn when it's time - there's some degree of RNG where nodes respawn in "cycles" but won't always respawn every cycle.
It's really boring but you can test yourself by finding a clothing node with worms, and leaving the worms then well... waiting. It will eventually despawn in favour of a new node.
ZOS had posted about it a few years ago to end the debate about whether or not this was the case."You must defeat me every time. I need defeat you only once"1 -
