Nailsmith

"Within his forge the Nailsmith is searching, on an endless quest to create a flawless nail.

''Past failures pile outside his door, exposed to the rains and left to rust. He spares no thought for imperfect things. Nor does he pause to take notice of the countless beings that take their pick of his refuse." '' Found in the City of Tears at the far left of the map from the bottom. He'll provide the first Nail refinement for a small amount of Geo, after which he will require both Pale Ore and Geo to upgrade further. See Nail for more information.

After forging the Pure Nail, the Nailsmith will step outside and ask to be cut down. Obliging him sends him plummeting down into the waters below, awarding the 'Purity' achievement. If the player leaves without attacking, he can be found later at Nailmaster Sheo's, unlocking the 'Happy Couple' achievement.
