Best equipment for harvesting silica pearls? (trilobite)

[SuperFluffyBunny]

The gamepedia wikia does not suggest a better alternative to harvesting silica pearls other than a stone pick.

Pretty sure i am getting a little more with my metal pick.

My question is, what is the best equipment (Not tames) to harvest silica pearls from trilobites?

Sword, Pick, Pike etc...

Cheers

Pretty sure its the pick. Any carnivore tame will high melee will gather better than a pick though. Especially aince quality picks are so hard to come by.

Get a higher quality pick and increase your melee damage stat (unless your server clamps the harvest)
I would suggest raiding beaver damn for silica pearls early game, till you can break into the ocean and get an angler fish.

Sorry, what do you mean by "clamp" the harvest?

[KitsuneShiro]

Clamp harvesting is a server setting.

Yes, it acts by removing melee dmg "over harvesting" from the gather calculation. Meaning that more melee makes no difference on gathered resources.

I was wondering why my level 80 character with 350% meelee was doing the same as another character with 100% meelee. (I tested with stone and metal, both had very similar results...) >.>

Use a chainsaw. One hundred percent. Seems like a waste of a chainsaw, but it's incredibly effective and yields a lot more than a pick.

Chainsaw on trilobites

sounds like a good time to me.

I understand you are asking about trilobites specifically but are you aware the lake is full of pearls and likely the best source for them rather than grinding trilobites.

yeah best way to get pearls is using an angler fish to gather them in the blue lake.
