Question about getting gwens shred

I have missed it with my first couple of characters also. The only info that I can give is I think there comes a time in pre that she won't give it to you anymore. After a certain quest or something. When I get it I usually save all flowers, cape, and flute until I have it all saved up.Then I give her everything at once with the flute first then cape then flowers. I save it up and give it to her before I do any quests. But yes I have had a couple of times that I waited to long and she wouldn't give it to me anymore.

I do it like this:

Get her quest to find the Broken Flute, and get the Flute, but don't talk to her again until you have: Broken Flute, Flute (4g from Merchant), Small Girls Cape (200g from Merchant) and 5 Red Iris Flowers. Then I hand it all over and she usually gives me the Shred.

whats the shred do?

Nothing at the moment.

Don't bother spending 200g on the cape, I got the shred without the cape.

wuts a shred ?

What IS the shred?

Shred of curtain, no known use yet. Maybe in Ch2.
