Red Iris Flower

The Red Iris Flower is a trophy that is found on the ground rather than dropping from a foe. They can be found in all explorable areas in pre-Searing Ascalon and in several Eye of the North zones.

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.
 * Nicholas Sandford also occasionally trades for Red Iris Flowers the same as the other collector items he exchanges for Gifts of the Huntsman.

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.
