Gold tempers and rituals

I don't want you to tell me what it is, but do you have a ritual you perform to get the most gold tempers out of refining raw mats RNG? I have one that "works" for me. I also have to say "YAY" verbally out loud in the real world if I get a gold temper from a writ. It totally helps. Honest.

    You have to sell your soul to Sheogorath. Otherwise, no temper.

    Sheogorath is for cheese farmers. Trust in Boethiah and yourself.

    If find it helps to be indifferent about getting tempers, act like tempers are just a by product of your efforts.

    I find tempers from refining can be pretty hit and miss now and have returned to doing writs on 5 characters, which gives me a pretty good return rate.

    No rituals just be happy when they drop. I refined 1.6k ore 2 days ago got 8 alloys, refined 100 yesterday got 3. Although I was sitting upside down on my couch yesterday when I was refining, so maybe that had something to do with it.

    Most definitely I do but it is more things relating to order in the game.

    In the Short Run, yes, I have a system that works. In the long run, it does not matter.

    So, I refine small batches ..... :D
    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

    It's all in your head, just refine when you want, I usually refine about 100, if no purple temps show up I just stop and wait a while.

    A suggestion based on my own method

    Once I have 200 raw materials or more I go to the crafting station on most occasions I get 1 gold rosin drew wax or tempering alloys and then leave and come back later. At times I have got carried away from the ritual and refined all and got a couple or maybe 3 out of 200 they sat that there is a system which I do not belive as I have herd of refining 500 non stop getting 3 gold items and other refining 100 and getting 3 gold items


    So in short do what you feel best suited to myself I stop as soon as I get a gold temper etc and come back after a few quests or when in rawlka


    They do say go to a not so popular armour trait location eg gladiator in hews bane and you may get better output as less used just a suggestion

    Another suggestion is pay 20k for stack unrefined refine should get at least 1 temper then sell stack on trader for 6 to 8 k stack refined

    Good luck either way

    Tap a rhythm with your button taps and sync with the refining sound, sometimes double or triple tapping randomly, and then pausing for a beat.

    If my stack ends with a 0 such as 10,20,30 I usually won't refine. If I have almost a full 200 stack or more, I only refine 120 max. Most times I'll get 2 gold mats then stop and refine the rest later. Otherwise I blow through refining the 13th+ time with a reduced chance so it seems.

    No, I usually just click the button as quickly as I can so I can get onto other things.

    It's mostly superstition, but my method:

    Do not refine if its crowded.

    Refine no more than about 50; stop if no gold mat.

    Stop refining as soon as a gold mat is given.

    I store less raw ore and spend less time refining it.

    I usually get at least one gold mat per day from the three stations this way.

    RNG rarely gives two Gold Tempers in row! so agree better to avoid if got one and should also stop after refining 50 or 100.
