Emblem Tempering can be applied to any forged Emblem. Select a non-max quality Affix to temper and increase its tier. Limit: 2 temperings per Emblem.

Tempered Emblems can still be reforged. A confirmation prompt will appear during reforging.

*Reforging an Emblem will reset the number of temperings.

■ Tempering Reset

You may reset a tempered Emblem. After resetting, the Affix effect and quality will revert to their pre-tempering state.

*Please note that items consumed during tempering will not be refunded upon resetting.
