The Tempering system is a crafting system in Diablo 4 that gives you the chance to upgrade Rare and Legendary pieces of equipment by adding new affixes to them. You can add up to two affixes per item. However, don’t expect to find common affixes such as one that increases Damage Over Time. In the Tempering system, you have access to affixes that, in general, interact with the abilities of each class.
Tempering uses recipes that come with a select list of affixes to upgrade items. While some recipes can be used by any class, most of them are specifically tied to a class. Beyond that, there are six types of recipes to temper your gear with: Weapon, Offensive, Defensive, Utility, Mobility, and Resources.
