A small pearl

The Small Pearl is an Alchemy ingredient, and one of the rarest in the base game. Small Pearls, as well as 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 any size of pearl. However, if Dragonborn is installed, Pearls and Small Pearls can be harvested in Solstheim from Pearl Oysters.

Ingredients

Guaranteed samples can be found in the following locations:

• 1 in Valerica's Study^DG (Castle Volkihar)

• Alchemy laboratories^HF in player-built houses provide respawning samples once they are furnished with wash basins

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 an "uncommon" ingredient.

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

• Peddlers may be randomly encountered in the wilderness (typically being attacked). These peddlers have an 8% chance of carrying 1-3 samples.
• 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.

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.
