tapestry shred, what does it do?
Tsunami
So i bought gwen a flute, a cape, and have been giving her flowers non-stop (around 10 or so). On my other character, she gave me the tapestry shred right after i gave her the cape. Does the tapestry shred do anything? I know it's a quest item but is it essential? Should I keep spending time looking for red iris flowers to give her? Any help would be much appreciated.

I've never seen the tapestry shred. I've never had the money to buy her the cape either. I gave her a new flute and 1 flower and she now follows me around occasionally healing me.

I've run through this a bnuch of different ways. Giving Gwen flowers and then a cape. Cape and then flowers. Flowers and then a cape and then some more flowers. I can't discern the pattern yet. Nor have I found a use for the Tapestry Shard.
What I do know:
-Giving Gwen a Flute (4G at any Outfitter) will cause her to periodically heal you for 20 health when you take damage.
-You can buy a cape for 200G and give that to her, too.
-You can give her flowers which sell for 5G at a merchant.
-After she's "happy" enough she'll give you a Tapestry Shard. If you have any flowers or a cape you'll have to a)give them to her or b)drop them before she'll give you the shard.

I have spent more hours in the tutorial than any sane person ever would, doing every quest I could conceivably find .. and yet .. i've never figured out what the Tapestry is for, either. I guess it's just there for effect / story telling purposes.
Tsunami
thanks for the info. spooky, like you i spent an insane amount of time in pre-searing ascalon. two level nine pre-searing characters can attest to that. 
though i still haven't found the combination of what makes gwen happy. there's just too many variables (profession might have something to do with it?) so i decided to just forget trying to attain the shred.
thanks for all the help and information though, i appreciate it.

I just gave her 10 flowers and that made her happy enough to give tapestry. Don't know what it does.

All I've found that the red flowers are good for is easy money and giving to Gwen. They are everywhere. Tho I did notice they weren't so many of them this weekend. In pre sear they are worth 5gp each but in post sear they are only worth 1 gp each. As for the tapestry I never found a use for it either and ended up dropping it in post sear. It seems none of the quest items from pre sear are worth anything in post sear.

does gwen say anything when she gives the tapestry shred? maybe you have to give it to her mother when you meet her in the underworld... but that's just a wild guess...

There is also a broken flute of gwens in post searing Ascalon. Maybe the tapestry and that broken flute are part of a future quest that has yet to be uncovered?
Scaper-X
I was under the impression that the broken flute in post-Searing was just to suggest that Gwen died.
...then again, maybe she just moved on to the saxophone.

Well This might be off track but I think I saw in Ashford someone Named Sarah i think this was on my charcather that I Bought her the flute didnt think much of it cause I thought it was Just an NPC and didnt have an quest Icon. Dont I went to the underworld via the temple of ages and I Found out gwen's mom is named Sarah maybe you can do something with the shred i Ashford that or you give it to someone in the underworld.
I'm thinking in pre-searing if you give her enough something will appear somewhere maybe Sarah in Ashford. I'm really not sure didn't have time to experiemnt but you have to think 200 gold for a little girls cape there has to be something special about it

hmmm. did you guys/gals buy the cape for 200g before you got the tapestry.
cuz the only things i gave gwen were a few flowers/broken flute and let her follow me at diff times and ones she suddenly gave me the tapestry after i gave here a flower, w/o buying her the new cape...but she didnt heal me at any of the times she followed me either. weird. i guess her info is still a mystery if you get into specifics of her story.
It would be a nice hidden/secret side quest to get the tapestry from pre-sear and in order to complete it, u need to give it to someone after academy.
also. I havent read much on her story, but is gwen dead or alive or whats happened to her after pre-sear...cuz it would be funny to see her after pre-sear all grown up which then u can give her the tapestry and she remembers you and rewards you with a "useful" item/weapon?
side note: anyone else get distracted when your fighting and she prances around saying like a paragraph(s) of info about ppl/parents....it makes my eyes get away from the fighting, to just read them....quite funny...

This my sound like a newbie what where is the underworld via the temple of ages is it in Pre-sear because I thought I have explored all of that place. If it is in post-sear then I did not spend as much time there as I wanted to.
Badenstein
i just gave her 5 or 6 flowers and she gave me the tapestry.

Maybe we can use Tapestry Shreds to decorate our guild halls!
Richard
OK, I ran into Sarah a while ago in Ashford Village. She just stated she needed Myrtle Weed. After getting the Tapestry Shred I went back and she's gone!
iczer
I was kind of hoping that towards the end game you would run into Gwen again all grown up (years later obviously) and the tapestry would come in useful at that point. I banked mine just in case.

She's obviously fallen in with the wrong crowd...

Gwen's mom needed the weed, not Gwen.

Not much of a good influence then is she?!
Harlas Kije
I think Sarah gives it to Gwen. You know-- Ascalon's version of ridalin.
After watching gwen prance around all over the plance--I figure she probably is a hyperactive child.

I never bought her the cape. I found the broken flute, bought her a new one, and gave her all the flowers I found (I have no idea how many) and she eventually gave me the tapestry shred. I still have it in my inventory because I'm determined to find out what it does someday.
Emanent Soul
ok this is what i did the little girl GWEN said flute was missing i found it it was broken i then went and bought her a new one then i bought her a cape after she was saying how pretty they are and she wanted one i also gave her flowers tones of them atleast 30 i have been given the tapestry and she also follows me she follows me because she wants me to take her HOME i have taken her around the hole map almost of pre searing days except for out near fort ranik wich is my next venture i hope her home is there and wether or not this broken quest is worth it i also know her father is a warrior of some sort i hope u find this useful 
ill c iff that sarah thing is worth looking up on

I too never received the shred, and I did run into Sarah once in Ashford village... She spoke of needing to heal a widow or something, and she didn't acknowledge Gwen... next instance, she was gone... I think that perhaps your level factors into when/if Gwen gives you the shred, since in the betas I always got the shred, but I always spent all my initial money on getting the flute and the cape... Since release, I gave Gwen plently of flowers, but I was level 8 before I gave her the cape, and I only bought it for her in an attempt to get the shred before leaving for the academy...

Well, this is what I know about Gwen at this point - She asked be to find her flute, I found the broken one, then bought her a new one, I bought her the cloak, and handed her every flower I found and got the shred (I know I didnt need to buy her the cloak but figured mind as well make her as happy as I can just in case) I also continue to give her flowers anytime I find them. While wandering around I found her mom in Ashford just outside of the abby in the area you come back to when you die. I talked to Sarah while I had Gwen with me, and the shred in my bag and got the same message, that she needed the roots. I have not found any type of roots to try and bring back, and I have no idea what makes Sarah show up in that spot (went back a couple of times and each time she is gone). I have cleared every part of that map with the exception of Green Glades and North of the Gate. My guess is that (hopefully) the shred comes in handy later in the game when (so I hear) you see Sarah again.

*looks around*
Who said that?!?

I, too, have found no use for the tapestry shred, and I'm only really posting this so I'm subscribed, and know when people DO find a use for it.
the thing's driven me crazy, and I've been looking around and still have no clue where gwen is in the seared ascalon or if she's alive.
I'm also curious about the thing with Prince Rurik. she says she wants to meet him, but she doesn't do anything if you talk to him. any idea what that's about?

Is it normal that as a monk I don't get the whole broken flute thing? My quest involving Gwen was to go retrieve her from among the Skales on the other side of the river, and she came pre-equipped with both cape and unbroken flute. I've given her every flower I've found (probably about 30 over all) and no tapestry shred yet.
akuryou13
she didn't come with cape or unbroken flute for MY monk. I had to rescue her, but the flute was nearby on the ground.
Tidal Rabbit
Hmm. It's entirely possible my memory's blanking out finding the flute for her, but I know I never bought her the cape she's wearing. I'll experiment with some throw-away monks next time I get a chance.

But she'll still happily take another one if you buy it for her. Greedy little girl.
Tidal Rabbit
Oh, okay, my mistake then.

but she wants a RED cape

I just bought the cape for Gwen and I can not give it to her. When I click on her, she says she'll follow me or stay where she is. Have I wasted 200 gold?

I found some Aloe Roots, they drop off the Large Aloe Seeds (or something like that). They're marked as a quest item, could those be what Sarah wants?
