gwen and the flute

OK. so everyone should know gwen outside of pre searing ascalon. You help her out by finding her flute and she follows you around. so now what? is that whole quest ordeal done? Or is there more surrounding gwen and her broken flute that i am missing? I never thought anything of it until recently i noticed going through the rest of the game, and starting a new character, that the flute keeps popping up all over. Can someone tell me if there is more that i am missing and if so, explain it to me?

Thanks

Well to almost everything it seems as though gwen was once a long part of the who guild wars story but was broken off probably due to some technical problems....

After you return the flute to gwen in pre searin, you let her follow you around and on the way around you may see the red iris flower on the ground and give them to her

Can someone take it away I never did the next parts

You give her enough flowers, she gives you a Tapestry Shred which doesn't do anything now. You could also give her a cape for decoration.

Anet from e-mails and such has said that they'll implement the other parts of the Gwen quest sometime.

You can give her a flute, a red cape (these 2 can be bought from any merchant in pre as far as I know), and the red iris flowers.
And as they said below, it gives a tapestry shred.
What I'm wondering is why the price for the flute and the cape went up? It used to be close to free, 1 gold or if it even was completely free, I can't quite remember. The cape is now 200 gold though, what's that about? Does anyone know why the price went up if it's still useless? Or is it still useless?

When you give Gwen a new flute she will sometimes play it and heal you for 20 points. Later game you can get a tattered cape, her broken flute, the tapestry shred she gave you and pre-searing, and something else and give those to her mother in the Underworld as part of a quest, though I've never heard of anyone who has done that.

Do Red-Iris flowers stack in your inventory? I haven't tried and currently don't have any on my pre-searing character.

yes.


msih

ok thanks for the info

She will only play the flute and heal you if you give her enough Red Iris flowers, I think it takes 5(might be anywhere from 6 - 10 though).

Nifty bit of info. Gwen has a use? You don't say!

But other then that, I find her an annoyance and would be best suited if she epicly ran into some charr, took two out before getting one between the lookers. </End Gwen Sarcastic remarks>

why does this game encourage pedophelia?

Why does anything encourage anything? Because of "types" of people.

she is the first step to team work ... people who dont like her , tend to be terrible team players.

You really can't say that. I don't meet random people that just say , "I'm coming with you" and then follow you step-by-step..everywhere..if I found such a person, I'd be inclined to believe you... but I despised her, and I believe I'm a team player =)

Didn't play in pre-searing for a very long time already (sticked around there mostly in the betas) but I think there was no changes since then so here it goes:

- You can find the flute no need to buy it but you can buy it if you want it immediatly.

- after Gwen has the flute, she plays it and heals you while you are in a battle and she is around (she won't enter the catacombs, caves and some other parts as far as I remember)

- you can buy her a cape for 200 gold and give it to her

- you need 5 Red Iris Flowers for her to give you the Tapestry Shred

- you can find her broken flute after the pre-searing in old ascalon

- her Mother Sarah can be found in the underworld and if you have both items with you she would have given a quest to you if it wouldn't be broken (its still broken at the moment)

In the last few betas and a while after the release back then, I meet her mother in the underworld in two places: the entrance and later she was together with the other spirits near a underworld village (the way to the second wraith who can port you back to the first one and vice versa).

I talked to her back then while I had both items with me and the only thing she told me is that she had a daughter before and she wonders if she is well.

Now I saw her at the entrance the last time I was down there and she said nothing.
Not sure if she is still on the second place I mentioned above since I didn't came that far with the team I was down there.

As about Gwen, there was many topics about her before saying she turned evil after she survived and such but those things are mostly rumours due to her "doings" after one of the betas where she appeared around the towns and burned everything down.

She appeared as a ranger but in her saying she would like to be a mesmer too.

i was exegerating of corse , heh

but she is so peacefull and friendly , how can you not like her ?

Except the fact she's a little girl..
And that she follows you everywhere...
I think that tops the list, those two.

What does this tapestry shred do

Instead of double posting to fix and error, use the edit button and fix it. works alot better and you don't get yelled at for double-posting <Your Fairy-GodFather Forum watcher, here>

--The Shim

And, as answered earlier if you'd read the post, the tapestry shred does nothing.... yet.

Well then what would it be used for after then????

I gave her 5 red iris flowers she hasn't givin me anythin

Sigh. No one knows! (except Anet, and they're not talking....)

To get the Tapestry shred, give Gwen the Flute and some flowers all at once (I don't know how many), and she should give it to you.

I've also heard of people buying her the cape and giving her flowers, but that's expensive!!!

(oh yeah, quit double posting please!)

Ive heard thousands of rumers about gwen.

1. She is roaming the uw... errrr yeah right ......
2. She is Grenths second hand w.e. and is in his palace in uw. err no, dissproved that.
3. She is linked somehow to more quests in uw... which i beleive has been dissproven by an article in this forums somewhere.

I don't know if anyone else has seen it, but, while doing quests around Stingray Strand/Twin Serpent Lakes, I happened across an item on the ground called "Tattered Red Cape" or something. I thought it might have something to do with Gwen, but noone I talked to knew anything about it
