Summary[ | ]

Nms Humming Egg Albumen Pearl

Albumen Pearls are found in Humming Sacs

Albumen Pearl is a tradeable and one of the trade commodities.

It is a valuable gemstone most frequently found enclosed inside of Humming Sacs, which are shells that resemble plants. It currently has no use other than trading.

Game description[ | ]

Gemstone formed over the course of centuries within the egg of a super-incubatory species. Highly ornamental, these gems are themselves living seeds, lucent grains of potential life.

Can be sold at a Galactic Trade Terminal.

Sources[ | ]

  • Albumen Pearls are most reliably sourced in cave systems beneath a planet's surface, inside red shells called Humming Sacs. Taking these will not alarm the Sentinels.
  • On certain planets, they can be found everywhere on the surface inside large pea pod-shaped plants similar to Albumen Pearl Orbs but labelled as Sentient Plants by the Analysis Visor. While these planets usually have a high environmental hazard, this is not always the case. Taking Albumen Pearls from these plants will alarm the Sentinels.

With assistance from a Farmer, Albumen Pearls can also be grown as a product of the Albumen Pearl Orb plant, with a harvest time of 2 hours.

Additional information[ | ]

  • If it stored in the inventory, scanning pirates will target the player during spaceflight. Many players have reported getting involved in large scale space battles when having large quantities of Albumen Pearls.

Speculation[ | ]

  • A possible reference to the xenomorphs of the "Alien" franchise, as hinted at by their in-game description.

Release history[ | ]

  • Release - product part of the initial game
  • Foundation - plants now register on the scanner
  • NEXT - harvesting pearls underground no longer results in Sentinel wanted level
  • Prisms - value changed, was 9,025.0
