Is it finally going to serve a purpose?

And curiously, is anyone stocking up?

Like I would tell you if I was...

Seriously, I've kept most of my Tapestry Shreds, so I have about 7 of them. I honestly hope they do something with the Shreds and Preserved Flowers, but I won't be surprised if they don't. (disappointed, but not surprised).

If there is demand for them, it will be interesting because it will require people to either delete characters and make new ones, or buy new slots.

I have one from my first character still and ive been holding onto it knowing that it will be used at one point. Will that time be now? Here's hoping!

My guess: The Flower and/or Tapestry Shred could be used to unlock special armor for Gwen (if she's a hero).

Not such a big deal to be game-breaking, but a nice bonus for those of us who bothered to save the things.

EDIT: I suppose it could be used in the special Bonus Mission... hmm.

then again, would Factions or Nightfall only players even want Gwen as a hero?

It may also be used to un-lock a quest involving GWEN and they may use any of her junk thrown around the various chapters to do so ( which I think would be neat )....... although I can't recall a thing of hers laying around Cantha and GWEN will be playable from all chapters so....... they may just be useless.

Give her some preserved iris flowers, the tapestry shred and the tattered girls cape (does anyone still have one of these?) and she'll follow you around healing you every once in a while.

Oh, yes, I still have flowers, a couple of unbroken flutes (they don't stack), and some girl's capes. Just in case. (not enough to make any money on, but still...)

I made a pre searing character especially to get some of these pre-searing exclusive items. Hopefully it will finally be useful in GW:EN (And not just for the bonus mission pack owners)

By the way: I enjoyed playing in pre again. It felt like a loooong time ago.

I think it will be useless - I mean - it wouldn't be fair for the ppl owning only factions and/or nightfall

Broken/unfinished quest. I think that this has been stated officially before, but since then it has been hinted that they might have a further use.

And why add a Preserved Flower to Nightfall?

Of course I realize the problem with my theory is that there are no Gwen related items in Factions. Oh, well, we'll find out soon enough!

I'm hanging on to a broken flute just in case. It's next to the preserved flower. My mesmer won't part with either of those... he gets rather emotional on occasion. Of course, the occasional spikes eggnog doesn't help things...

And the next thing once the gwen quest items are usable is that Phantom Residue will be usable...

I have the RARE gwen item called "Tattered Girl's Cape".

I have been holding onto it for a long time. They stopped dropping along time ago. I hope they do something with this for all the people that held onto it!

Of course it would be nice if they did mean something in GW:EN, but I have my doubts since they were items used to basically just show us that gwen was still around somewhere...

Haven't read all the posts yet, but here is my idea!!!

The Tapestry Shred will be used to get an alternative ARMOUR for Gwen, the same way you upgrade armour for other heros in nightfall, by adding those items you get in challenge missions.

Of course I realize the problem with my theory is that there are no Gwen related items in Factions. Oh, well, we'll find out soon enough! GW games made by 2 different teams. Prophs and nightfall made by GW team (A), and Factions by GW team (B). or somthing like that. so that they could release games faster.

I remember reading at the time of nightfalls release, that it was more like; Prophs made by a combined team A and team B. Then once prophs was finished, team A started nightfall and team B started factions. Hence nightfall had a longer development time which is why it felt a lot more 'polished' than factions.
