Wait, come back, Player. You're not planning to WEAR that Kromede's Flame, are you?

That would be like carrying around a Stigma Stone in your cube. Pretty, but pointless.

Instead of that, why don't you use it to reinforce the Jewel of the Judge?

Player: "Jewel of the Judge?"

Exactly, the Jewel of the Judge. A legendary item, but it can be made more potent with Kromede's Flame.

Of course, you'll also need a blacksmith, but I think I can squeeze you in between jobs.

You get me the Jewel of the Judge, I'll make it better. Promise.

Player: Accept.

A fine decision. Now, as to that Jewel of the Judge....

I heard someone whispering that Kromede the Corrupt in the Fire Temple has it.

I don't know if that's true, but you might want to check it out. It would seem to make sense. Her being a Judge and all.

Player: "Indeed it would."

Ah, you're back. I guess you've got the Jewel of the Judge with you?

Don't weep for Kromede.... She's been taken over by grief and hate. She doesn't deserve your compassion anymore.

But that's neither here nor there. Give me the Jewel, along with Kromede's Flame, and then step back.

Player: "I'm trusting you...."

You think I might mess up the Jewel of the Judge? Impossible!

See those weapons that the Daevas of Flame carry? I made them all. I was a bit rusty at first, but now I'm pretty good at my job.

Return to me when you have the Jewel of the Judge and Kromede's Flame in your Cube and I'll prove it!

Player: "In my Cube. Got it."

Hmmm...this looks hard. I changed my mind. I don't want to do this.

Wait...what's this behind your ear? Oh look, it's Kromede's Jewel!

Didn't even see me do it, did you?
