Finding Prickly Pear Seeds

Prickly Pear seeds can be found in the first Desert area, most commonly from clearing Squirrel and Bulb Camps. They are also sometimes dropped by defeated Enemies, with a higher chance to obtain them from killing Beeson or when using the Flying Squirrels Weapon. Cutting Weeds may also drop Prickly Pear seeds. See the Related Items section of this page for other sources.

Alternatively, they have a high chance to be obtained when purchasing a Bronze Tier Desert Seed bag. These are sold for 30 at the Garden Shop in Spring.
