The idea:
Let us reset the tempering we do on items, with increasing costs, up to a maximum.
There is no reason to not be able to reset tempering, when we can do that with masterworking, which is as strong as tempering.
Both can sort of increase the power the same way. If you hit “+ level to skill xy” twice or three times with masterworking the damage increase will be significant and you still gate the tempering behind a few tries that often will simply fail.
There could be an increasing cost each time we reset the tempering on an item, maybe for 3 times, after that 3rd reset, the cost to reset it, stays the same.
Play your own game, you would realize how stu|pid it is with the current tempering system.
You will do it anyway when the player count won’t fulfill the revenue generated with this game and you will call it a HUGE CHANGE COMING in Season X…
Just do it now, for the playerbase you always say you love… thanks.
