Mass Refine Before or After 1.6 Hits?

Kragorn

I've read about the nerf to Hireling temper rewards but have ZOS changed tempers from refining raw materials?

I have several hundred of each type of mat. I've harvested over the last week or so running VRs, would I likely get more purple/gold tempers refining them before or after 1.6 hits, or is there no change in this?

After 1.6. In patch notes.

But do make up all your purple fooods!

On PTS I still need 8x legendary to improve one item. So it will be the same or did I misunderstand you?

Kragorn

@Islyn, cheers. I read the notes but I've also seen at least one poster in the PTS forums analysing this and his numbers didn't seem to go along with ZOS' notes. And yes, I've made my cordon bleu food already.

@Lhorion, I'm not asking about item improvement, what I am interested in is the rate of purple/gold tempers you get from refining wood/ore/cloth.

Y same here - but we can only go on what eso Said I guess - and iirc - that post said numbers were similar? Or? Even so - possibly similar is far better than worse. :-)

All I have read about the changes and tests of players suggest: shrug and play. Seems to be not worth bothering at all. I agree with the foods though

If I remember right, and at the moment I can't find the post I'm thinking of, the figures showed it's worse after 1.6 .. wish the Search feature on these forums was fit for purpose.

[edit]

LOL, no sooner I said that than I found what I was looking for by searching for "5000"

but it seems that poster's results differ from what others saw, figures from 1.6.1 seemed to show it's better after 1.6:

After for the "supposedly" increased temper drops.
