Between 0.6% and 0.9% since I have no clue what UVH you are on

It was a world drop pearl, so it’s not 0.7, it’s something much lower that atm isn’t known because statistics

u/Constant_Emphasis_66 16h ago

0.7% then, which means every 1 in 143 kills should drop one pearl

Oh I was mainly talking about the pearl, the two legendaries, and the phosphene all together

u/Constant_Emphasis_66 16h ago

Ah I don't remember how to do cumulative percentages but the drop is 0.7%(pearl) 0.5%(phosphine) 9%(legendary)

Be sure to run an update if you’re on a console with a disc. Pearls almost never dropped before the updates. Also, I started seeing Phosphenes around level 50-60. Pearls drop like every 1-3 hours of gameplay now at the level 70. So update and keep playing.

I'm like 130 hours deep, haven't seen a single phosphene.

Actually farm bosses over and over.

Also do the boss of the week and use Eridium to farm that boss instead of cash. Then you’ll definitely see one.

What was all that red lightning coming from?

u/Comfortable-Jelly686 1h ago

if you're farming for hrs not super rare but rare. Now getting that and a phosphene to drop same time like you did, thats rare.

Also sorry for the bad quality, for some reason my Xbox app wouldn’t let me download the clip and I had to screen record it

Pearls aren't as rare as they were in previous games. They drop all the time tbh.

I’m lucky if I get one in 4 hours. They nerfed the drop rate a while back.

u/SenSei_Buzzkill 16h ago

That’s still pretty common compared to BL1 and BL2. I get them all the time

u/NoxKyoki Vex The Siren 13h ago

Ok fair. I’ve literally never picked one up in the other two games. At least not that I remember.

Is very common.

Every day, someone creates a post similar to this one.
