Golden Pearls
The Farm
In this farm, you are targeting the crafting material Golden Pearl. With the 10.1.5 patch that will contain new crafting recipes, the Golden Pearl has become a sought after commodity. These items come from Big-Mouth Clam which drop from Naga throughout Vanilla WoW content.
For this farm, we will target a group of Naga in the Red Reaches of the Blasted Lands that respawn relatively quickly when farmed in a 5 man group.
Getting There
Alliance
Take the flight path from Stormwind to the Shattered Beachead in the Blasted Lands and then fly down from there.
Horde
Take the zepplin from Orgrimmar to Grom’gol in the Stranglethorn Vale. Take the flight path to the Shattered Landing and fly south from there.
Horde - Druid
Use Dreamwalk and take the portal to Duskwood. From there, you can fly southeast to enter the Blasted Lands.
The Route
IMPORTANT: Make sure you are in the old timeline version of the zone. Talk to Zidormi at the top of the zone (she is marked by a speech bubble on the map) and ensure that you are in the Blasted Lands before the invasion. When you talk to her, if she says “Take me back to the present”, you are in the correct instance.
The route is a simple loop where you and all your friends loot and kill. Stay spread out to maximimize your kills per hour.
Macro
The following macro works for druids, but simply replace the /use moonfire
with whatever spell your class uses for instant damage. This macro targets the Naga, casts Moonfire, and then opens the Big-Mouth Clam.

/tar blood
/use moonfire
/use Big-Mouth Clam
The Loot
Your main target for this farm is the Golden Pearl, but you can still get other world drop items and some zone specific drops like the Imperfect Draenethyst Fragment and Flawless Draenethyst Sphere (dropped by rares in the area).
RNG plays a big role when opening the clams, but with a five man group, you should expect 15-40 Golden Pearl in an hour.
