** [[Juniper Bark]]
** [[Succulent Juniper]]
* [[Southern Shiverpeaks]]
** Juniper Bark
** [[Pinesoul]]


''Drop and salvage research is ongoing, and can be found [[Talk:Alpine Seed#Drop research|here]].''

===Farming===
====[[Deldrimor Bowl]]====
[[Hungry Devourer]] [[spawn]]s Succulent Junipers that also [[drop]] Alpine Seeds in addition to the Succulent Juniper Meat quest items.

====[[Frozen Forest]]====
Start from either [[Iron Mines of Moladune (outpost)|Iron Mines of Moladune]] or [[Copperhammer Mines]]. You will encounter four random Pinesoul bosses and several [[Azure Shadow]] group spawns of three. [[:File:Alpine Seed Farming.jpg|Click here]] to see the path.

====[[Ice Caves of Sorrow]]====
The very beginning of this mission contains around ten [[Pinesoul]], along with a few groups of Ice Imps and Mursaat. Can be handled with a reduced group or solo to maximize drops. Groups of Ice Imps can be easily avoided if necessary. [https://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Talk:Alpine_Seed#Farming]

== Notes ==
* This item is required by [[Imperial Chef Reun]] for his salad at the annual [[Canthan New Year]] festival.
* The collector [[Bariel Darkroot]] trades 5 Alpine Seeds for items that sell for 125 {{gold}} to a merchant. This provides a return that is over three times more than just selling the trophies by themselves.
