Talk:Red Iris Flower

If you find a flower in a GW:EN zone: Add them into the notes section for now. I'll be reformating the article later to better suit the changes from GWEN --Grash 05:47, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

Just got one in Ice Cliff Chasms. - Auron 09:22, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Yep --Valshia 00:06, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

I'm going to do some work on the locations where the flower can be located later. Right now add I'm adding new zones in the notes section.--Grash 10:55, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Got one in Dalada Uplands. dominique · (talk) 11:47, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

I just added Dalada in the notes after finding one there myself. --Grash 05:47, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

- Flowers and the Tapestry Shred: I've given her a lot more than 5 and didn't get a tapestry shred, I think it got changed with the release of GW:EN. Etienne 13:43, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
 * You have to give her 5 at one time.
 * I had 64 flowers, and the bint took every single one of them and gave nothing. Anon-e-mouse 19:17, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

I have not heard any changes to Pre-searing Gwen. I've checked other sources of info. Until then, I've reverted your changes. (I've noted this on the Tapestry Shred Talk page as well) --Grash 14:32, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

Are all flowers noted?
I don't know if this is worth changing, but i always seem to find flowers inbetween Althea's Actors Stage and the gate to the Northlands in Pre.
 * I actually just found one on the gate, right next to the lever. Is it even confirmed that there are only preset points for potential flower spawns? If so, I think there are a lot more than the page lets on. 128.163.7.99 18:11, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, that one is ID'd as "near the stage" (it's always between the wall and the lever, sometimes out of reach).
 * No, all the irises in pre-searing have been noted here (some with more/less detail)
 * Sort of, they are not pre-set; instead, they fall into a pattern of spawning one per drop zone and the drop zones are set.  &mdash; Tennessee Ernie Ford ( TEF ) 19:01, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I've also found one in the water closer to entrance of the Northlands that isn't listed on the page... is it just a static spawn in an area and it moves around within that space?.


 * It's one of the three known irises beyond the wall. The location can vary from the "beach" to the left of the entrance to near the entrance to near the walkway/overlook of the west of the lake that's got the Grawl and 1-2 oaks. (It's not that much acreage, but you can't get from A-B without returning to the main path.)


 * Thanks for double-checking. I'm 99.999% sure this wiki has ID'd all the irises in PRE, but it's worth being sure. &mdash; Tennessee Ernie Ford ( TEF ) 23:24, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

Nicholas the Traveler
Should remain on the page as a collector with the note that he only takes these on specific days/weeks. I think it's fine the way it is now. -- Wyn  talk  08:33, 25 July 2009 (UTC)
 * /agree or the note could even be changed to "at certain times". [[Image:User DrogoBoffin sig icon.png]] DrogoBoffin 08:36, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

Item type
I have changed the item type to Trophy from Quest Item, as this is a better fit: None of the categories are a perfect fit. Irises are, in effect, a Trophy that drops without requiring a monster death (complete with a sound effect that plays when approaching within compass distance of the iris) &mdash; in fact, prior to the 4th Anniversary changes, Irises only appeared (aka dropped) when the player was close enough. &mdash; Tennessee Ernie Ford ( TEF ) 16:20, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
 * You said 'a music' when getting in ramnge, I never heard of it. If it does play a certain sound when seeiing a iris, shouldn't it be in Notes? ````
 * Music? No, it's a sound-effect. IIRC, when you drop an iris from your inventory to the ground, it will repeat that sound (either on drop or pick-up or both). To hear the sound, turn up your various sound-effects (but turn any in-game or non-game music off) and head out to Gwen's garden from EotN outpost. The sound made by the two irises as you get close is louder than the jingles of the jingle pet(s). I don't think it needs a note because pretty much all items make a sound when dropping; the only anomaly about irises is that they drop from the sky (sort of) rather than a dying-foe. &mdash; Tennessee Ernie Ford ( TEF ) 19:41, 24 December 2009 (UTC)

flowers behind portals
I just found an unreported bug - there was a flower behind the entrance to the Catacombs in Wizard's Folly. Are there any more of these about that aren't mentioned on the page? Queenofthedepths 16:24, 11 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Possibly. The borders of the "drop zones" (the areas in which an iris might drop) aren't well marked by players. So, it's entirely possible that there are other undocumented spots in which an iris can pop up behind a portal. &mdash; Tennessee Ernie Ford ( TEF ) 03:56, 16 February 2010 (UTC)
