What do you plan on doing with Kromede's Tear? Shame to waste its power by wearing it as a necklace, Player.

You could melt it down and use it to coat Judge's Cipher-Blade, you know. You'd walk away with one very strong weapon!

Player: "Really? How?"

Ha! Knew I'd catch your attention.

You'll need three things to achieve it: Kromede's Tear, a Judge's Cipher-Blade, and a very talented blacksmith.

You already have the first thing and in me, you have the third. Now you just need the cipher-blade. If you can get it, I'll take care of the rest.

Player: Accept.

Consider yourself lucky that you found me, Player.

I don't mean to brag, but I truly am one of the finest blacksmiths in all Elysea. I can even tell you where to start looking for the Judge's Cipher-Blade.

I heard rumors that Kromede the Corrupt at the Fire Temple in Asmodae has it.

Player: "You're quite the informative blacksmith."

Did you bring the Judge's Cipher-Blade, Player?

Give it and Kromede's Tear to me, and I'll start refining them.

Shouldn't take long at all....

Player: "Here's everything you need."

Are you worried that I'll ruin the Judge's Cipher-Blade?

I...I'm the most famous blacksmith in all Elysea, and you really think that I'll damage it?

Just give it to me and I'll show you! Remember I need Kromede's Tear and the cipher-blade in your cube, then I can do my work.

Player: "Nothing's for free..."

This was...harder than I thought! I haven't sweated that hard in years!

But it's finished. I need to rest now. I have worn myself out.
