Artctic Mussels (ring 9 tainted avalanche ale component)

[JackofSpade]

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
