Talk:Red Iris Flower

I moved this from Red-Iris Flower to Red Iris Flower as there is no "-" that appears in game when referring to these flowers. --Rainith 12:01, 3 Sep 2005 (EST)

I don't think many people would assume it would be valuable after pre-Searing. --Fyren 17:58, 30 December 2005 (UTC)


 * I tend to agree with you -- what kept me from taking out that bit earlier is the number of people I've seen in pre-searing offering to buy Irises at 10 gold (or more) each. I haven't yet seen a reason to do that (other than perhaps too lazy to go find a few flowers to give to Gwen to get the tapestry shred). So figured maybe the reason they were buying them so much was due to a perceived increase in value in post. *shrug* --Nkuvu 18:00, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

How many is "a lot"?
The description says you need to give Gwen "a lot" of Red Iris Flowers. How many is a lot? I've tried a couple of times and know it's greater than 5. 7 worked for me. Should we list a range to give people an idea of how much is "a lot"? What's the minimum people have seen? --Luke1138 00:38, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Salvage
Does this actually contain plant fiber? From what I've seen, it can't be salavaged. -- Anon
 * I will try this today. --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] (gem / talk) 21:21, 3 April 2006 (CDT)
 * Can't be salvaged. --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] (gem / talk) 07:55, 4 April 2006 (CDT)

Map

 * Re: map. OMG the red iris flower farmers are upon us! ;-) --Xeeron 20:28, 3 April 2006 (CDT)
 * That'd be so sweet! Shandy 20:30, 3 April 2006 (CDT)
 * I added the map after searching for a perfect flower farm spot for ages. I am currently trying to collect 250 flowers. :) --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] (gem / talk) 21:21, 3 April 2006 (CDT)
 * Ashford is also a good place to farm. Leave Ashford Abbey and walk a few times around the enclosure, then walk back to the Abbey if there was no drop. Farmed ~50 flowers that way --84.167.9.85 21:16, 20 April 2006 (CDT)
 * the map's path is pretty good.. i've seen a flower everytime, and sometimes more than one. But, its pretty dangerous to a lvl 1. lol. i can't seem to remember, do enemies in pre sear continue to aggro to you after you surpass them in lvl? i think lvl 3's will always aggro to you, which also makes this path a little tedious... for a lvl 2 at least.166.66.108.117 14:43, 30 November 2006 (CST)

If you leave the Abbey, there is a flower a tiny bit to the south, with no fighting at all. Foo 15:18, 30 November 2006 (CST)
 * yeah, seems that there is always one if you follow the path south, past the little lake, then turn towards the pig pen. Sephine 14:09, 14 February 2007 (CST)
 * they must have changed it because I am playing and don't see any flowers. 24.19.205.237 14:50, 11 April 2007 (CDT)
 * No, still there. Foo 16:26, 11 April 2007 (CDT)
 * I see it now, it doesn't drop if you don't go out the Abbey just right. o.O Thanks! Morgan Fairweather 16:46, 14 April 2007 (CDT)

Seen someone today who wanted to trade the Shio mini"pet" for 2500 iris flowers (in the tutorial). OMG?! --217.185.135.144 10:09, 13 December 2006 (CST)
 * Haha! Pretty awesome! --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] (talk) 18:32, 7 January 2007 (CST)


 * someone who has already 100k on his char, and is looking for something to hold instead of gold. Foo 19:13, 7 January 2007 (CST)

Iris flower as collectable item?
Today when atempting Aurora glade in hard mode (and succeeded not that it mathers) a white mantle seeker dropped me 2 red iris flowers. If proof is needed i'll take a screenshot although it doesn 't say alot because it could have been aquired pre searing.84.192.118.21 12:43, 30 August 2007 (CDT)
 * screenshot of it dropping or it didnt happen--[[Image:Marcopolo47 signature new.jpg]] (Talk) (Contr.) 12:44, 30 August 2007 (CDT)
 * well its a while ago and i didn 't screenshotted it back then but i can show you i have 2 of them on a monk who is post-searing. i don 't know if they differ from the pre-searing item.84.192.118.21 12:57, 30 August 2007 (CDT)
 * Well, maybe it was an old glitch. But Red Iris Flowers on post-searing characters don't prove anything. I have about 50 on my ele in post.--[[Image:Marcopolo47 signature new.jpg]] (Talk) (Contr.) 12:58, 30 August 2007 (CDT)
 * well i know, can 't you just take my word for it it dropped of one? well if they drop other people will report, but i think the pre-searing says quest item, whereas thisone doesn 't, it just says value 10gold (5 gold each i found 2 dropped in a stack, like glittering dust or something)84.192.118.21 13:01, 30 August 2007 (CDT)
 * Like I said, it might have been an old glitch, but because you are the only person to report this, I'm afraid that I cannot take your word on it, sorry.--[[Image:Marcopolo47 signature new.jpg]] (Talk) (Contr.) 13:05, 30 August 2007 (CDT)
 * Well if i can prove difrence /b/etween the pre-searing item and mine, will it make a diffrence? 84.192.118.21 13:08, 30 August 2007 (CDT)
 * How would you do that?--[[Image:Marcopolo47 signature new.jpg]] (Talk) (Contr.) 13:09, 30 August 2007 (CDT)
 * Get a pre-searing one and show it doesn 't stack with mine, difrent descriptions, that sort of shit84.192.118.21 13:10, 30 August 2007 (CDT)
 * Different inscriptions? Red Iris Flowers don't come with an inscription lol.--[[Image:Marcopolo47 signature new.jpg]] (Talk) (Contr.) 13:12, 30 August 2007 (CDT)
 * DESCRIPTION not INSCRIPTION, for instance the one in pre-searing says quest item, mine doesn 't, wich makes clear the items aren 't the same... 84.192.118.21 13:14, 30 August 2007 (CDT)
 * Oh, oops. Misread it sorry. Ok, then. Show me ur screenshots about it.--[[Image:Marcopolo47 signature new.jpg]] (Talk) (Contr.) 13:16, 30 August 2007 (CDT)
 * i will as soon as i finished thunderhead in Hard mode.84.192.118.21 13:16, 30 August 2007 (CDT)
 * Ok.--[[Image:Marcopolo47 signature new.jpg]] (Talk) (Contr.) 13:17, 30 August 2007 (CDT)
 * You can get these in EotN, I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if they're a random drop now too. - Auron 05:31, 31 August 2007 (CDT)

you get a quest
it's not listed on the wiki, but you now get a quest after the ebon vanguard quest string is completed. It's different from the one involving the Tapestry shred, and my Ranger from Nightfall can do it. The quest is called: Fire And Pain. The connection may have already been discovered but I didn't see it on this page. Cowboysoultaker 09:09, 5 September 2007 (CDT)

gwen and post iris flowers
i picked up a flower on my canthan monk and triggered a dialog with gwen. it doesn't trigger the dialog with my tyrian character. she also doesn't automatically offer the quest until a condition has been met or something and im too confused atm to edit the article right lol. &mdash; ♥ Jedi ♥ Rogue ♥ 23:39, 5 September 2007 (CDT)

Randomly timed drops?
Twice today I've been out looking for flowers, walked by an area with my alt key on, then when passing through the same area again, found a flower the second time. I mean, I know they don't just drop like presents (or else my LDoA should have been surrounded by them every morning when she harvested her Charr), but still ... they aren't simply placed when you step outside. Or at least that's my experience. Auntmousie 23:12, 11 September 2007 (CDT)
 * Have you ever tried sitting still in one area and watching for flowers? I'm pretty sure they are like List of hidden objects "Hidden Treasures". They are invisible and when you cross within a certain distance of a flower, it will "appear". But, the spawn patterns are never consistant.
