your character, are you really that invested in having Kromede's Tear as a necklace?

Sure, it makes for a nice necklace, but it could be so much more than that.

If I can melt it down and coat the Aethercannon of the Judge with it, it would create a powerful new weapon.

Normally, no. You'd need to track down Kromede's Tear and then find a master blacksmith to undertake the process.

But fortunately for you, you've already done all that. The last thing you need to do is find the Aethercannon of the Judge.

Eager to get started, are we? I'm not too surprised. Not many would pass on the chance to have a weapon crafted by someone as skilled as myself.

Just get the Aethercannon of the Judge from Kromede the Corrupt in the Fire Temple of Morheim, and we can begin.

Hold on a minute, you're saying no?

I'm one of the most famous blacksmiths in all of Asmodae!

You've returned. I assume that means you've got the Aethercannon of the Judge?

Hand that over along with Kromede's Tear and I can get started.

Wait a minute, your character. I can't do anything with these.

If you want me to make that weapon for you, you'll have to get the things I mentioned.

I need both Kromede's Tear and the Aethercannon of the Judge for this to work.

By Marchutan, that was a challenge! Aethercannons may be powerful, but they're incredibly complex.

That didn't stop me from making this into a masterpiece though. Why don't you go try that out on some Balaur or Elyos?

I'm going to go get some well-deserved rest.

1. Claim the Aethercannon of the Judge and bring it to Walter.

   Aethercannon of the Judge, Kromede's Tear

Walter thinks he can improve a powerful weapon with Kromede's Tear. Find the Aethercannon of the Judge.

Walter said Kromede's Tear can be used to bolster a powerful weapon owned by Kromede: the Aethercannon of the Judge.

You obtained the aethercannon and gave it to him, along with Kromede's Tear. Walter fused the two and gave you a strengthened weapon, Kromede's Aethercannon.
