Tempering - New Crafting System Coming with Diablo 4 Season 4

Diablo IV Posted 2024/03/20 at 4:40 PM by Tharid

Tempering

Through the Tempering crafting system, players can add specific, powerful affixes to Rare and Legendary items.

These Tempered Affixes appear on so-called Temper Manuals, which have 4 different affixes on them and drop from most content in Diablo 4.

Players won't be able to add Tempered Affixes to Unique and Uber Unique Items.

If you combine a certain Temper Manual with an item, it will add one of those 4 affixes randomly.

There will be general Temper Manuals but also class-specific Temper Manuals with powerful exclusive Tempered Affixes, as shown in the screenshot down below:

Similar to Aspects, Temper Manuals have different categories - Weapons, Offensive, Defensive, Utility, Mobility, Resource. These categories indicate which items can be combined with the Temper Manual. For example, a Mobility Temper Manual can be applied to Boots and Amulets.

Ancestral Items can hold up to 2 Tempered Affixes.

Items will also have Tempering Durability (also called Temper Rerolls), which will determine the number of times a player can reroll a Tempered Affix.

Much like normal affixes, Tempered Affixes can roll within a certain range, adding another probability layer to the crafting process.

The developers pointed out that the system includes a lot of new and unique affixes that will add more customization and new ways to play your character.

Comment by DeVeteranMORE RNG the devs are just deaf, this just guarantees it.

WHY oh WHY is this random? Why can't we just select the affix we want from those 4 on the manual, and let that give us a random number?

Why we need DOUBLE rng?

Oh, pray you're lucky you get the RIGHT affix to move... then pray it's not just the base value... noice... yuhuu, S4 saved boys, D4 waaay > over PoE / LE

/sComment by LazyshadowI mean, this is almost exactly like LE's crafting but more restricted. Sure its decent, but the main issue is that there aren't enough build diversity. Compare it to LE that you can do wild things with a single ability. You don't really have that choice in D4.Comment by johntravolta342MORE RNG the devs are just deaf, this just guarantees it.
