How to Get Goddess’s Tears

The easiest way to get Goddess’s Tears is to craft it at an Alchemy Bench with Ceramics and Mana Stone Powder. However, you need to unlock the Dark Thorn Vine Purification research at the Research Bench first. The prerequisites research unlocks are Basic Alchemy and Staff Crafting.

You can craft Ceramics at the Kiln. To build the Kiln you need to unlock the Metal Processing Research first. The prerequisite researches are Wood Processing II and Bonfire. To build the Kiln and craft Ceramics you will need to get Clay.

Once you have your Ceramics and have turned your Mana Stones into Mana Stone Powder, you can craft as many Goddess’s Tears as you like. Once crafted, it becomes a usable item in your inventory.

Note that you can also get a guaranteed drop of the Goddess’s Tear by fighting the Stone Golem boss that appears in the Boss Room of The Veil of Silence. However, this is a difficult boss fight and it can take a while to get your team to a point where they can consistently clear this boss.

How to Use Goddess’s Tear

Add Tears of the Goddess to a character’s inventory, right click on the item and select use. A cross shaped splash zone will appear and you can hover it over the purple Dark Thorn Vine areas to see how much area will be purified.

How to Get Tech Books

Unlocking research nodes requires a decent amount of Tech Books. The best way to quickly collect Tech Books is by opening Treasure Chests in the Dungeon. You can also get Tech books by harvesting Dungeon Cores in Floor 3 and below, but be warned as they trigger difficult battles. Lastly, some NPC quests also reward you with Tech Books, specifically those given by researcher NPCs.
