Me and my friend are doing farmory until one of us gets a pearl. Whoever gets a pearl first wins 
. How long will it take us? On average.

There is no average. Itās just when RNG decides that you are worthy. It took me 3 months before I saw my first pearl, but took my friend @FlamesForAll 1 week to get his first 2. Just what RNGesus decides.

And donāt forget the absurd long draughts one can have, Pearl farming wise.
Personally, found 2 Pearls now 3 years ago. 2 Years of finding none followed (partially thanks to BL2) and now I slowly start finding them again by the dozen in the last 6 to 8 months or so.
Also, the chance on getting a Pearl is pretty much <1% per Lance Chest/assigned enemy. Atleast from my own experience and following the rarity points.

Iām curious, what was the chance of us getting a Blue Eridian to drop from a normal pyro?

Good one since Eridians screw over logic when it comes to rarity. Only non-Eridian that does it is the Reaper.
Would place it at the same height as finding a perfect Legendary (1:80/1:90).
Iāve been playing the game since 2010, and I found my first pearl last year. So it can take a while. Or you can be a jerk like @FlamesForAll and get a couple super quick.

Oh boy now it is time to get the third farmory mission because I just read it gives increase drop rate!
Let RNGesus be generous and rain upon you with Pearls!
Oh Iāve only been looking for a serpents forever now!!!
Took me 4 years to get my first (I wasnāt hardcore farming though).
But since I started killing Craw at a decenct rate, Iāve gotten 13 pearls.
Remember to open ALL lance chests as well, Iāve gotten 1 from the highway outpost and 2 from the Deep Fathoms one.
Also kill Drifters, got a (terrible) Serpens from one on the way to Armoury.
Keep trying, it may seem pointless but the adrenalin rush of that cyan beam is a high like no other.
Nope, weāre past that.
Weāre like junkies who can only get pleasure off pure un-cut whale dopamine.
When I see an orange beam my excitement builds as I see the parts, a long slow breath in followed by an exhale worthy of itās quality.
If itās mediocre a short dismissive nose puff.
If itās an upgrade to what I have (or something I havnt seen yet) a long āahhhhhā that turns into a grin.
If itās something with near perfect parts or otherwise ultra rare, short spluttery mouth breaths as my chest convulses and my eyes squint and roll upwards.
But a Pearl, before I even see which one it is, let alone parts. Is always a gut-punch, and as I check the parts my face starts at a smile and moves towards a sh*t-eating grin if I like what I see.
Gearbox created something magical here, sadly I have never felt anything close to this euphoria in either Bl2 or TPS.
