Forum:Crawmerax Pearl Drop Stats

Forums: Index > Watercooler > Crawmerax Pearl Drop Stats

I just wanted to let everyone know about my experiences with farming Crawmerax and how often he drops Pearlescent weapons. I did this on PC if it makes a difference.

I killed Crawmerax between 30 and 50 times solo before I started keeping track of my kills. I couldn't believe I hadn't seen a Pearl drop so I started keeping track of how many times I killed him and with how many people in the game.

To get my first Pearelscent weapon (Serpens) it took the following amount of kills.

Solo: 53 + 30 to 50 = 83 to103 kills and I've yet to see him drop a Pearl on a solo kill.

Two Person Group: 2 kills...no drop.

Three Person Group: 4 kills...no drop.

Four Person Group: 6 kills...Serpens dropped.

UPDATE: On my 87th recorded (so actually more like 125th) solo kill, Crawmerax dropped an Aries.

Two Person Group: 16 kills...no drop

Three Person Group: 22 kills...no drop

Four Person Group: 44 kills...Serpens and Omega (does this shield suck or what?) have dropped.

I have 195 recorded kills now and three Pearl drops.

So it seems to me that if you don't want to waste a ton of time, killing him in a four person group is the only way to go.

So then what? You all duel to see who gets the Serpens? ;) I've solo'ed about 15 times and got an Omega shield but it wasn't as good as the shields I already had. Well, at least it was Pearlescent. MeMadeIt 07:03, March 29, 2010 (UTC)

I did exactly the same thing, and tracked my craw kills so i could try to predict how many times you have to kill him to get a pearl.. ive soloed craw 42 times now, not a single pearl despite 2+ rare item class mod.... but i'v found one in the armory during the super marcus sweep quest, a crappy undertaker.......
