Global Character RNG or "luck factor" concerning refining

I have research a bit and found that there seems to be a rng factor given to your character either during login or every time you change instances. I noticed this through constant farming and refining raw materials that some days I receive more purple/gold temps/resins/rosins. I also have seen many videos and heard many times from other gamers that you want to reset the refining table after a few raw 10 stacks are refined if you do not receive a gold or purple. IDK if anyone has a definitive answer, but if you do please post it here and save many of us the trouble of refining 1000 stacks and getting 1 temp/resin/rosin...

    I have tried to game the system. I am not having much luck. The best I can do is increase the drop rate of all Tempers, and hope some Golds get sprinkled in.

    What I do is start refining, and if I get no Tempers of any kind for the first 3 Operations, I leave the station and come back another time. If I get Tempers from the first two or three, then I continue to work the stack for a while. However once I get a Gold, I leave the station even if I have raw mats left. Also, if I hit 3 Opps in a row with no tempers after a string of Tempers, I leave the station.

    Too many times I have activated the station and done 7 to 15 operations, or more, and gotten bupkiss for Tempers. But, if I get Tempers in the first three operations, then the Temper Flow seems to be steady for a good 10 to 15 operations. I don't think I am increasing the rate of Gold Tempers, but I do get more Tempers of any kind with the above method. At least I am not blowing through stacks and getting little to no Tempers at all.
    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

    Spam the refine button as if you were trying to heat up a power meter.

    I have tried this many times...I actually use both methods listed above, but still no method to the madness.

    I thought my RnG was weird when I went through 600 with nothing, but the next 1000 gave me 12 and then the next 400 gave me 8.

    So far, in the long run, Im still pretty much at 100:1 (over the last year plus)
