Tempering
Tempering is a game mechanic in August that allows you to increase the power of your tiered equipment, by sacrificing duplicate copies of a piece of gear.
To tell if a piece of equipment is tiered, examine it, and it will show a level in brackets in the examine text (For example, Diamond legs say "[T95] I feel like I'd be pretty safe in this", indicating the item is tier 95).
How To
In order to temper a piece of gear, head to the Tempering Bench in the crafting area by running south of home, or using the ::afk command in-game.
Once in the tempering interface, select an item from your inventory, and you'll have the option to temper it, sacrificing a duplicate copy of that item from your inventory to provide a +3% bonus to the offensive and defensive stats provided by the item.
Stat Increases
Items can be tempered up to 4 times each, with each temper providing an additional 3% increased stats:
| Tempers | Increased Stats |
|---|---|
| 1 | 3% |
| 2 | 6% |
| 3 | 9% |
| 4 | 12% |
