An Oyster may or may not contain pearls when you open it. An opened oyster becomes either an oyster pearl, oyster pearls or an empty oyster. Usually a non-empty oyster contains only 1 pearl, although on rare occasions they can contain 3 pearls . Pearls of any kind are useful in the fletching skill, as they can be used to make Pearl bolt tips by using a chisel on them, requiring 41 fletching.
Using a chisel on one oyster pearl will create 6 Pearl bolt tips, while using a chisel on the oyster pearls will create 24 Pearl bolt tips.
You may catch an oyster while fishing with a big fishing net granting you 10 fishing experience or while panning at the Digsite, withdrawn from a Granite Crab, or obtained as drops from the following:
- Crab
- Dagannoth
- Dagannoth Prime
- Giant Lobster
- Giant Mole
- Kalphite Queen
- King Black Dragon
- Mogre
- Mudskipper
- River Troll
- Rock Crab
- Sea Snake Hatchling
- Waterfiend
In earlier days of RuneScape, chance of getting pearls from oysters was low. This was increased with the introduction of gem-tipped bolts. Oysters also respawn North-East of Rellekka.
