How to get Taos

I was thinking, and why are you guys trying to do Joko's exchange quests...Joko said himself that there was a slight chance that you would get some raven gear , but the Tao are from the ShadowKnights. Heres a pic of what he said specifically...

While that's a possibility, the "Raven gear" he's talking about are the weaker weapons, and you can take those to Fiona for upgrading into better forms.

Fiona can also forge certain items from scratch, specifically all the ones with "Crimson" in the name. The forging recipes are ridiculous though.
