Just a shame to let Kromede's Tear be wasted like that, your character. Sure, it's pretty and useful, but it could be so much more.

But if you melt it down and blend it with the Staff of the Judge, you'll have the kind of weapon that legends are born from!

Well, you'll need three things before we can begin: Kromede's Tear, the Staff of the Judge, and a very gifted blacksmith.

You already have the first item and, with my well-known abilities, you have the third thing. You just need the staff now. If you can get that, I'll take care of the rest.

You should be thanking Ariel I'm offering to help you, your character. I am one of the finest blacksmiths in all Elysea.

So good, in fact, that I can both enhance the staff AND tell you where you can find it.

It's with Kromede the Corrupt, at the Fire Temple in Asmodae.

How can you not trust me, your character?

I am Ukon! I'm the most famous blacksmith in Elysea! These hands...they're trusted by governors and generals to make their weapons!

But you...you want assurances? You have tarnished my pride.

Did you bring the Staff of the Judge, your character?

Give it to me along with Kromede's Tear, and I'll make you a staff that will be the envy of all Elyos.

Come on, come on, before I change my mind.

Why do you have that worried expression on your face, Daeva?

I am a legend among blacksmiths...my style has been emulated by some of the best out there.

Have some faith, Daeva. I wouldn't tarnish my reputation by making you a shoddy weapon. Put it in your Cube with with Kromede's Tear. You won't regret it.

Whew! Who knew refining a staff could be so much work? I must be getting old.

But it's finished...take it. Kromede's Staff is stronger than ever.

1. Gather the materials needed to refine the Staff of the Judge and bring them to Ukon.

   Staff of the Judge, Kromede's Tear

Ukon said he would refine the Staff of the Judge if you brought him the needed items.

Ukon said that Kromede's Tear would be good for strengthening the Staff of the Judge, and he said he would do it for you if you found the needed items.

You trusted him and gave him Kromede's Tear and the staff. He kept his word and made the weapon stronger, turning it into Kromede's Staff.
