Wait, [%username]. Were you planning to wear Kromede's Flame as a necklace?

Only an Elmo would do something like that!

If I were you, I'd use it coat the Staff of the Judge to increase its performance.

"Tell me more."

To reinforce the Staff of the Judge, you need Kromede's Flame, the staff--obviously--and a capable blacksmith.

The first and the last you already have. The Staff of the Judge is something you'll have to go get, however.

You bring me that staff, and I'll refine it like it's never been refined before.

Accept. Decline.

You won't regret this decision. We'll make history here!

But first we need the Staff of the Judge. From what I've heard, [%dic:STR_DIC_M_FireSanctuaryQueenBoss_37_Ae] has it in the Fire Temple.

She should be no match for you, though.

"Certainly not."

You doubt me?

Do you know what happens to people who doubt me?

Their weapons fall apart in the middle of combat, that's what happens! Then they die!

"I'm immortal, though."

Did you bring the Staff of the Judge with you? Good!

Don't weep for Kromede.... She's been taken over by grief and hate. She doesn't deserve your compassion anymore.

Let's get to work. Just hand the staff over, along with Kromede's Flame.

"This had better work."

Haha. I can appreciate caution, but really, I'm sure I can do this.

See that veteran Daeva of Flame? I made all his weapons. On the same day. At the same time.

While I was asleep! Come to me with the Staff of the Judge and Kromede's Flame in your Cube, and I'll fix your weapon up while juggling Klaw eggs.

"This I have to see."

Whoof. Wow, this is harder than I thought. I hope this comes out right.

I guess I should have told you that I've never actually worked with a staff before.

Anyway, here you go, Kromede's Staff. See how that feels. Looks good to me!

Collect materials to refine the Staff of the Judge and bring them to [%dic:STR_DIC_N_Walter].

[%collectitem]

Walter said he'd refine the Staff of the Judge for you if you bring it to him along with Kromede's Flame.

Walter said Kromede's Flame can be used to reinforce the Staff of the Judge.

You trusted him and gave him Kromede's Flame and the Staff of the Judge. He produced the reinforced Kromede's Staff for you as promised.
