Tempering: Difference between revisions

'''Tempering''' allows you to add affixes to your <span class="legendary">Legendary</span> and <span class="rare">Rare</span> items.  Tempering Manuals can randomly drop in any [[Difficulty]] and each manual offers a list of 3 to 4 themed recipes.  The higher the [[Difficulty]] you are playing in the better quality the Manual will be (<span class="magic">Magic</span>, <span class="rare">Rare</span>, <span class="legendary">Legendary</span>) and the drops will be more frequent.  

The Manual goes into your bag. You click it to learn and it is stored in your [[Codex of Power]].

* [[Weapons Manuals]] - Mostly bonuses to specific skills. [[Damage Buckets|Multiplicative]] dmg.

* [[Offensive Manuals]] - Bonuses to broader categories like bonus fire dmg and bonus critical strike dmg. [[Damage Buckets|Additive]] dmg.

* [[Defensive Manuals]]

* [[Utility Manuals]] - Bonuses to size and duration of skills.

* [[Mobility Manuals]] - Movement and Cooldown Duration.

Give your item to the [[Blacksmith]] and select the manual from the chosen category in the Tempering menu.  You can pick which of the 3 or 4 Affixes from the manual will be applied to the item. This was changed in Season 10.

Items can be tempered with only one Affix. You can reroll as often as you want from Season 10 onwards.  

These Tempered affixes will increase along with the other Affixes on an item when you perform [[Masterworking]].

The big takeaway from the Season 11 update to Tempering is that players will no longer be able to [[Bricking|brick]] their items. There is no limit to resetting Tempers.

Players can pick the affix that they want from their Tempering Manuals and no longer roll from a pool.

The max number of Tempered sffixes has been reduced from two to one. To counter this, one more base affix has been added to non-unique items.

*Tempering Manuals randomly drop in all difficulties

*You can Temper the same affix onto two different equipped items and they will stack

*Tempered Affixes can not be [[Occultist#Enchanting|Enchanted]] (rerolled) at the [[Occultist]]

*Tempered Affixes will be boosted with [[Masterworking]]

===In Brief - Seasons 1 - 10===

*Tempering Manuals randomly drop in all difficulties

*1 Temper on Normal items, 2x Tempers on Ancestral Legendaries items (they drop from [[Difficulties|Torment difficulty 1]])

*If applying 2 [[Affixes]] they must be from different Categories

*Once the initial 1 or 2 Tempers are applied, you can reroll a total of 5 times per item (not per Manual). You get one more roll per [[Greater Affix]] on the item

*Affix applied is randomly selected from the chosen Manual.

*You can Temper the same affix onto two different equipped items and they will stack

*Tempered Affixes will be boosted with [[Masterworking]]
