Talk:Tapestry Shred

Queen of the Underworld
Where is this wallpaper depicting Gwen as a queen of the underworld? It's not on Guildwars.com. --Karlos 13:40, 11 Jul 2005 (EST)

I found this: http://gwvault.ign.com/screenshots/full_res.php?ss=445

But it is not an official wallpaper from ArenaNet, it's made by a fan, the different in quality is obvious from this:

http://www.guildwars.com/gallery/wallpaper/default.html

And even the credits attribute the art to a fan. I will remove the reference to queen of the underworld. --Karlos 13:47, 11 Jul 2005 (EST)

Stacking?
Do tapestry shreds stack? I thought I've seen a screenshot showing they do, but two shreds from my characters refuse to stack (which could be a "version" thing). -PanSola 06:54, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Ok got it verified. It does stack, and I do have more than one version of it. -PanSola 22:58, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

Save yourself 200g!
I found that the red cape is not needed for her to give you the tapestry shred. Just continue feeding her red irises until you become her best friend.

Use the 200g for other important things like various kits.
 * I made a pre-searing char for the To Dye For weekend, and didn't bother to buy the Flute or the Cape, I just gave her the flowers I found and after around 5 I got the tapestry shred. Yaki 09:16, 16 June 2007 (CDT)

What do you do with the Tapestry shred
I have the tapestry shred but i have no idea what to do with it can anyone help me out with this

Just saw someone looking for it in Ascalon post. Not sure if he was bluffing on some hidden value, but he promptly left when I told him to use a pre char.Alan Firehazard

Shred not needed for healing
Gwen does heal you from time to time if you allow her to fallow you, however you do not need the Tapestry Shred for her to do so.

theory
has anyone tried taking one of these to Sarah, gwen's mom, after the searing? I have a theory that something might happen if you do. Zamanee 18:00, 5 March 2007 (CST)'
 * That's an awesome idea.I wish my character with the Tapestry shred wasn't going for Legendary Defender of Ascalon title...
 * I'm very sure (passing the 90%+ barrier here) that every item related to Gwen has been tested with Sarah, even having a combination of items. Nothing happens other than her usual NPC talk. --220.233.103.77 18:26, 5 March 2007 (CST)
 * I Don't know why people think that bringing a certain item to NPC's in GW will activate something special. There isnt one instance (That I know of) that has this
 * Nehdukah reacts if you bring a Black Moa - Snow White Tan [[Image:SnowWhiteTan's sig.jpg|20px|omg omg omg!! (My Talk)]] 22:41, 28 April 2007 (CDT)
 * But that doesn't do anything for you, just has him run away. I doubt that they would put a quest that revolves around getting an item in pre. Eric368 22:50, 28 April 2007 (CDT)
 * There are very much quests that require a certain item, sometimes these you have to hold in your hand (like the basket of apples for The Orchard quest), but often also inventory items (quest items 0o) like a Stinger from The Poison Devourer. The diffrence would be that the NPC you have to carry it to doesn't show this with a green dot over him, but gwen also doesn't if you have a flower, flute or shred. -- Zerpha The Improver 07:46, 15 June 2007 (CDT)
 * What the hell does the Tapestry actually do? The Mattster

Spur a lot of speculation and debate. Other than that, absolutely nothing as of yet. GD 16:19, 1 July 2007 (CDT)


 * I thought of that too but I could never find Sarah--67.67.161.12 23:30, 30 July 2007 (CDT)
 * It will probably be an item of importance in GW:EN. Just another theory. Zeke Cefir 03:02, 10 August 2007 (CDT)

tattered tapestry?
I heard a rumor ingame about someone referring to a quest called "Tattered Tapestry" in pre-searing, that involved giving gwen flowers and had something to do with the pearl. They wouldn't tell me anything else.


 * I'd say it's another scam or so. People have since the begining been perpeting rumors that we get the strognest weapon in the game or any other big prize by getting the tapestry to "gwen's mother". But, it has been said many many times over and over that this is just rumors.
 * Maybe it's because of the upcomming expansion named GW:EN that thoses rumors are making a comeback. §: TůζipVõrζąx Talk 22:56, 28 April 2007 (CDT)

Idea
Has anyone tried giving the tapestry to gwen in eye of the north expansion? &mdash;The preceding unsigned comment was added by Damalin the fighter (contribs).
 * And... HOW exactly would anyone know that yet, seeing how it hasn't come out yet? --Gimmethegepgun 10:49, 15 July 2007 (CDT)
 * It better, I've been saving three of these for what seems like no reason over the past year and a half. Zaboomafoo 14:04, 17 July 2007 (CDT)
 * I was saving mine but I deleted it, and when I saw the GWEN trailer with Gwen, I thought maybe Gwen will be in GWEN so that the tapestry shred would actually be worth something.--67.67.161.12 23:34, 30 July 2007 (CDT)

meh
umm i gave her 3 red iris flowers and she wont let me give her the small girls cape or the flute when i talk to her she just starts following me or stops following me plz tell me wtf 68.191.210.244 16:17, 6 August 2007 (CDT)
 * If you go outside with someone who has already given her a flute/cape, she will permanently have them and you cannot donate them. She will give you the shred if you keep giving her Irises.[[Image:Glimmer_of_Light.jpg|20px]] The Paintballer (T/C)


 * i already knew that, but unless it considers a bear as some1 who has already given those items to her i dont know, because she has the flute in her hand and the cape on her back, but i do not remember giving either of those to her. and i never went out there with any1 who did. 68.191.210.244 16:28, 6 August 2007 (CDT)
 * Even not for the Res Sig quest? [[Image:Glimmer_of_Light.jpg|20px]] The Paintballer (T/C)
 * actully i did go out with my freind to get the rez sig but he had just made that char so no.... 68.191.210.244 17:08, 6 August 2007 (CDT)

I gave her 9 red iris flowers because i went out with someone who already gave her the flute and cape, but she wont give me the tapestry shred.


 * That's the glitch. The game thinks it already gave you the tapestry shred since someone else was in your party and got it on their own time --Gimmethegepgun 09:46, 14 August 2007 (CDT)

Proof of her new chat. Added to page
Gwen says this when you enter your Hall of Monuments with this in your inventory. - Yellow Monkey 13:54, 24 August 2007 (CDT)
 * Additional note. I'm a FACTIONS Monk. Any Proph chars confirm what happens is the same? - Yellow Monkey 13:54, 24 August 2007 (CDT)

For me, no dialogue automatically appears. Im prophecies. When i go up and talk to her, all she says is, I cant believe you kept this so long. Then she says the normal stuff and has the normal talk options. -Victoryisyours

Hall Of Monuments
The thing needed for a monument in HoM is a Monumental Tapestry right? Both of these are tapestry maybe at end of GW:EN we will get a monument for each campaing Ex. Preserved Red Iris---> Nightfall Brokenflut. prophecies, only problem is factions--King Of Kamelott 19:32, 28 August 2007 (CDT)
 * Tested a combination of characters, Red Irises, and Tapestry Shreds. Gwen did not respond to my Tyrian or Canthan character with the tapestry shred. The tapestry shred had come off a character not yet level 20 (so I couldn't get her into the Hall of Monuments). Will post the Iris findings on the relevant page and update this one accordingly.
