Somber Smithing Stone 1
Upgrade material for special armaments, the unique weapons that cannot be reinforced with regular smithing stones. It raises such a weapon to +1.
Special armaments climb in fewer steps than standard ones, so each somber stone matters more. Grab every one you see if you plan to use a unique weapon.

Item description & lore
A shard of smithing stone that has lost all its colour. Armaments with unique traits refuse the coloured stones, and they grow stronger in different steps and amounts than ordinary gear.
