[edit] Usage

[edit] Pre-Searing Ascalon

Red Iris Flowers are among the items that can be used to win Gwen's favor, along with her broken flute, a new flute, and the Small Girl's Cape. As a token of her esteem, Gwen will give the character a Tapestry Shred (see that article for details on obtaining the shred).

If you have the patience to farm fifty, Professor Yakkington will give you a Small Equipment Pack or Headgear in exchange.

[edit] Eye of the North

Before completion of the Ebon Vanguard primary track, if you enter the Hall of Monuments while holding this item, Gwen says "I can't believe you held onto that for so long. But with the Ebon Vanguard missing, my own past must be put aside for now. We'll have time for this matter after my friends are rescued."

Later if you speak to Gwen with a flower in your inventory she will give you the quest Fire and Pain.

Oggy will take one Red Iris Flower to give to his sweetheart Jezza.
