Red Iris Flower

Red Iris Flowers appear randomly in most explorable areas in Pre-Searing Ascalon. A Red Iris Flower can be picked from the ground as normal loot, but it isn't assigned to any of the party members. It can be sold for 5 gold to a merchant.

If you give a lot of Red Iris Flowers to the little girl Gwen, she will eventually like you and give you the quest item Tapestry Shred. If you also give her a Small Girl's Cape and a new flute, you will only need three of them to make her like you.

Acquiring a flower
The map shows an area which always includes one flower and an optimal route to find it. Be aware of the Grawl Shamans and Grawl Longspears as they will attack you and take any friends with them.

The flowers tend to grow near trees, bushes and bunches of other flowers, but only rarely in open areas. They never grow on ice or snow, but they may grow in river beds. Their name will appear on screen once they are in your danger zone, so to see them from farther distance keep the Alt Key always pressed while you are looking for them. Anytime you get close enough to one of them so it is visible by pressing the Alt Key, you'll hear the sound effect of an item falling. Keep your attention to this sound for if you hear it, you may be near a Red Iris Flower.
