Tempering - Quenching Process (Improve RNG)

I mean we learned the stats aren’t weighted,

We did? I must have missed that part of the CFC or whatever info the Devs published.

I would like to suggest to add new process at Blacksmith called “Quenching.” For a hefty cost, the Blacksmith will quench an item before it is tempered (preparation step).

I think it should still be open to RNG but “quenching”, if it or anything similar were to become a thing, should lock-in affixes when a desired one appears as well as(possibly more importantly) lock-out Affixes.
It could theoretically still take 4 Rolls to hit the target Affix(or 5 is there’s still going to be Tempering Manuals with 5).
That keeps RNG in the process but much more costly.

Even opting to lock-in an Affix - one might never see it again and exhaust all Tempering attempts trying for a higher value - BUT they’ll still maintain the desired Affix.

A one or the other choice when using your “Quenching” idea BEFORE the Tempering process begins.
Lock-in an Affix or Lock-out Affixes
Kind of a cool compromise.
