U added scroll of restroration in S5 it was
3 season ago a still cant do infinity use on items why we must grind another 2-3GA items when we get bad tempering on these items and not just farm scrolls to restore these chances
Updated patch notes:
“Salvaging a 3 GA account bound item rewards the player with 1 Etherial stone. These rare resources are not available through trade channels and are stored in your wanderer’s material tab. Bribe the Blacksmith with 5 Etherial stones for him to use the tricks of his trade to confuse an item’s magical memory into forgetting that you have previously used a Scroll of Restoration on it.
There is a catch.
If when you speak to the Blacksmith and possess any of these materials and if you have been botting or trading in dupes, the Blacksmith invokes Anvils of the Sky. All players you’ve been on the screen with throughout the life of your wanderer will share in the spoils of all of the materials and gold on all your wanderers and all wanderers you’ve traded with before your wanderer is RIP (applies to soft core).”
Tempering adds minor friction. Items on drop are incomplete it just give you a much easier way to get a 5/5.
Perhaps if you dislike tempering this much ask for loot 1.0 back and complete items will drop like they did prior to S4.
That would be the unimaginative dev’s straw man - the type of dev who shouldn’t be making games. Good thing there are more than these two choices, and even non-devs on this forum have come up with some.
Affix bloat was a failure of imagination. Current version of Tempering is a failure of imagination.
