Dialogue[]

Paimon believes in order to meet the adventures that are to come, it would be best to first make some preparations.
- (Upon unlocking the quest)
- Paimon: From now on, our adventures are going to get more and more dangerous, so let's prepare first.
- Paimon: We could start by going to Mondstadt's blacksmith.
- (Passing by the blacksmith's workshop)
- Paimon: There's the blacksmith!
- (Talk to Wagner)
- Wagner: What?
I'm looking for a weapon.
- Wagner: Over there. Take your pick. Or, if you need something else I can make it on request.
I want to find a weapon for Paimon.
- Paimon: This is the first Paimon's heard about it! What, so you want Paimon on the front line now!?
- Wagner: She's a tiny one isn't she. It'd need to be purpose-built.
- Paimon: Wow, he does bespoke weaponry...
- Wagner: Of course. I sell weapons, make them to order, and do refinements. All in the job description for a blacksmith.
- Wagner: All you need is the ore.
Where can I get ore from?
- Wagner: Anywhere. Everywhere.
Do you sell it here?
- Wagner: No. Buy from someone else, I barely have enough for myself.
- Wagner: You look confused. Listen, I'll tell you where the nearest deposits are.
- Wagner: Bring some back and I'll help you forge what you need.
Great. Thanks!
- Wagner: No need. I have other things to do.
- (After talking to Wagner)
- Paimon: He seems like a short-tempered guy... Was it something we said?
- (Talking to Wagner after collecting the materials)
- Wagner: What do you want?
I've got the Iron Chunks.
Remember, you sent me to get Iron Chunks...
- Wagner: Oh. Yes. I'd forgotten about that.
- Wagner: These are okay I guess. Should be able to salvage something from them.
I'd like something made.
- (After forging)
- Wagner: If you ever find ore in the future, you can always come and see me.
- Wagner: Ideally when I'm not busy.
You seem to be in a bad mood.
- Wagner: A blacksmith's work takes focus and concentration. It does not take small talk with costumers.
- Wagner: When the craft is good, business is good. That's all there is to this trade, and anyone who tells you different is trying to con you.
- Wagner: If there's nothing else, I'll carry on with my work.
- (Quest completes)
- Paimon: He's certainly committed to his work, Paimon'll give him that.
- Paimon: His temper isn't great, but leave it to him and he'll be able to forge what you need!
