Wait, you weren't actually planning to wear Kromede's Tear as a necklace, were you, Player?

If you give it to me, I can melt it down, coat the Harp of the Judge with it, and make a vastly improved instrument.

Player: "How would you do that?"

Reinforcing the Harp of the Judge would require three things. You already have Kromede's Tear, so that's the first.

The second is a talented blacksmith, like myself. All we need now is the Harp of the Judge itself. Go get that, and we're in business.

Player: Accept.

Player, you're fortunate that Ariel guided you to me. Normally I wouldn't do this for free, but I'm branching out into musical instruments.

Naturally, I'm already more skilled than most of those other smiths, but the legendary Ukon has standards to maintain.

I've heard that Kromede the Corrupt at the Fire Temple in Asmodae has the Harp of the Judge right now. Why don't you go get it?

Player: "One harp, coming right up."

You defeated Kromede, then?

Give me the Harp of the Judge and Kromede's Tear and I'll get started.

Player: "Here they are."

"Hold on a moment, Player. I need both the Harp of the Judge and Kromede's Tear for this to work.

If you're nervous because I'm a blacksmith, relax. I've worked with harps many times.

You won't regret having me improve the Harp of the Judge, I promise you that.

Player: "Okay, go ahead."

Whew! That was more work than I had expected.

But your banjo is in great shape! Ha! The look on your face....

Here's your Kromede's Harp. Now off with you, I need some rest.
