Wait, Player. What are you going to do with that? No, not that. THAT. Kromede's Flame.

You were going to wear it as a necklace, weren't you? Admit it.

There's a better option. You can use it as a coating to improve the Spear of the Judge.

Player: "Exactly how?"

It's a long and involved process, but I think I can pull it off.

The gist of it is this: you bring me Kromede's Flame and the Spear of the Judge, and I can fuse the two of them together.

But I can't get the Spear of the Judge for you. You'll have to get that yourself.

Player: Accept.

The Spear of the Judge is a highly precise item, and it's likely to snap if it's not improved like I suggest.

But before we can do anything, we need the Spear of the Judge, don't we?

I believe that Kromede the Corrupt has it in the Fire Temple. At least, that's what people are saying.

Player: "I'll check it out."

Did you bring the Spear of the Judge and Kromede's Flame? Hope you didn't waste time weeping for Kromede; her grief and hate's twisted her beyond redemption, I think.

Fortunately, you're just in time! The forge has reached just the right temperature. If we're even one degree off, it will destroy both items forever.

Hurry!

Player: "Here! Do it, quick!"

Oh, so you think I might mess up the Spear of the Judge?

Listen, once I made a spear for a Daeva of Flame that was so well-balanced he threw it all the way to Elysea.

Okay, that's not true, but it's a good story. You want your own stories to tell, you come back to me with the Spear of the Judge and Kromede's Flame in your Cube. Understand?

Player: "You're something else!"

All right, we'd better get started. This is a long and difficult process.

Unf. Erf. This is really tough stuff. But I think we're almost...

Done! Here you are, Kromede's Spear. Enjoy!
