Blacksmith Quest

One of the services you can access inside the Pocket Castle is Papi’s Smithy. A total of seven tiers of equipment can be bought here: Iron, Gold, Mithril, Crystal, Dragon Scale, Orichalcum and Prism. She starts out with only Iron Weapons and Armour, the higher tiers can be unlocked through this quest.

Similarly to Vanilla’s Inventory, Papi’s Stock gets reset when you start a New Game+. However, you don’t need to go through the process of recruiting her again, unlike the Vampire Girl.
