Artctic Mussels (ring 9 tainted avalanche ale component)
 

Has anyone found or foraged any of these any time recently? They used to be a fairly common ground spawn in the water in CS near the otters when I used to look for them, but after spending about 5 hours on and off looking all around I haven't seen even one. No luck on foraging one either over that time period. Does anyone know if they still spawn there on the ground, or if that got changed or if its bugged? or if you have to kill the otter seashell collectors or something to get them to show up? Appreciate any feedback / advice, thanks.

Oh and also WTB Arctic Mussels - overpaying lol

I have quite a few on my Druid - I think. /friend add Xullaea

I'll be on around 6:00 PM EST and can hook you up.

I'm pretty sure that there's no ground spawn, you just have to forage for them. Least, that's how I've got them in the past.

Awesome thank you very much! I'll hit you up =)

There 100% were ground spawns at one point (a little bit into the water near the othmir camps), I used to pick them up from there all the time. So I'm just not sure if that was changed with a patch, is currently bugged, or if I am just having terrible luck with finding them.

Can confirm they get foraged

I did ring 9 on my ranger about a month ago and found them in CS near the otter merchants just in the water off the shore.

Yes I have foraged some lately. Will have to check my logs, but I'm under the impression you can forage some in several zones, not only CS. I've spent some time in GD, EW, WL lately and I definitely got/ate some

I foraged up 3 this morning in IceClad while farming Iceballs.

They used to be a ground spawn, but it was changed imtentionally (with no notice) or unintentionally. I posted a bug report, but noone cared.

I can never see them as ground spawn anymore, perhaps someone else can

I swam around for an hour the other day and never found one.

I randomly decided to hit the Forage button and got one first try.

Someone should update the wiki on the forage info, including being able to in IC.
