Once you get the tool, you just put it on your toolbar, go stand in water (has to be shallow water) and click on the tool in your toolbar. Very boring, very slow, and very useless until they fixe both of the bugs mentioned above.
Arthur hates mollusks lol 
Might I suggest the following? You will need
- a good movie/book/something to do afk (but not going out of the house)
- a nice drink
- a travel pack
- a shellfish harvesting tool
Put the afore mentioned tool in your toolbar in the second to last slot on the top. Make the following macro:
/ui action toolbarSlot10;
/pause 8;
/ui action toolbarSlot11;
And of course you'll want to put THAT macro (above) in the last slot on the top. This will basically call the shellfish harvesting tool, and then pause for it to work and then call itself. You might need to adjust the pause interval for your own machine/circumstances.
Make sure your inventory is as empty as possible and equip the backpack. Stand in the water (like Arthur said). Activate macro.
This is where your drink and movie/book/something to do comes in. If you have 65 spaces free in yourinventory you will need to be afk a minimum of 8 and a half minues (65 x 8 seconds). Therefore plan to come back every 8-10 minutes. Stop the macro!!! If you don't you might delete your harvesting tool which isa pain (to stop the macro use /dump).
Then drag and drop the mollusks and crustaceans one stack at a time into the backpack where they will stack themselves up.
Rince and repeat ...
To get an idea of how long this takes - my computer is in our kitchen so it is easy for me to do this (also I work at it so can minimize the game and work and then open and stack and close again). In about 10 hours of doing this w/o stopping i think I got a good 16K of mollusks. That's coming back every 10 minutes of so.
No wonder Arthur hates mollusks 
Enjoy, Dor
eep

maybe if i need some real bad lol, awesome post though, thx
Hehe, actually I'm ok with mollusks, they are my friends
Back in the "old" days I used fishing to level up survival. I went all the way up the ranger tree (once) and up the scout tree (like 3 times) using mainly fishing And everytime I went fishing I'd inevitably take along my trusty shellfish harvester tool. I've got something silly like 10 crates of (completely worthless) survey tissues now

Oh no, oh no .... resist .... cannot ...
Arthur, we BE's (and I use the term losely) are your friends too, it's good to have friends that aren't completely shellfish ... <--- very very bad pun
thx for the post, now i don't need mollusk

1) all tailor tissues are broken
Knew that
2) even before all tailor tissues were broken, the survey tissues were broken
Didn't know that
If you really want to make some, knowing the above, you need to get a shellfish harvesting tool. I've always been able to find some for sale either on the bazar or in the global vendor search (under tools) but you can also get the schematic yourself and make it or have it made for you. There is some info in the old FAQ about that here

go to tatooine (yeah, that makes sense).
go to anchorhead.
look for a fella in the ditch in the middle of town. talk to him.
I think there are three short 'quests' for the schematic. if you're a pure crafter, you might need a hand... but if you're semi-combat oriented, you'll do fine.
tatooine. bah.
