I found a recipe from a book of lore. Just walk around and look for them.
Since then I've been looking for a potion of shocking grasp (which I had seen a hundred times before), but it hasn't dropped yet .

The recipe I got from the book got 1 missing item (it was a rune), but I have collected a lot of runes, so once I get that potion I can start trying .

Once question: do tempering recipes work on socketed items?

Tempered recipes all require magic items as the base input so if one of the prefixes happens to grant sockets (eg. Mechanic's) then yes as tempered items retain the properties of the magic items.

[edit]

ALL tempering recipes require just one of each potion btw.

ok, i read the other threads related to this one... but it didnt answer my question...
what exactly is a tempered item? how does one find or make a tempered item?

[Phrozen Heart]

Tempered items are essentially upgradable rares with specific properties that you create using recipes found throughout the game (or in the cube spoiler thread). Once you've created your item (which has darkish green text) you can then find tempering reagents (which have orange text) throughout the game to transmute in your cube with the tempered item to improve it's properties. For instance a piece of oak bark will grant the item a very small armor bonus but repeatedly adding more of the same reagent WILL stack so if you can find enough of the right reagents, you can temper some of the best equipment in the game.

so its basiclly any item that i could toss into the cube (such as a sword, staff, or shield) that i can transmute with one or all of the recipes?
:p i thought it was something more specific than that; thanks

[Phrozen Heart]

Each recipe requires a specific item (eg. magic deacon sword) for that particular recipe but all reagents work on all tempered items.

Were are the gems man???
I played the whole act 1 and only the final boss gave me two.

[Phrozen Heart]

What do gems have to do with tempering? Or did you mean jewels?

::sigh:: i guess i must not be getting these tempered items right ;_;
so im just going to ask all my questions:
1.) when it says runes, does it mean the tablets or the regualar runes?
2.) when tempering an item, does it have to be a set item, or can it be just the item it asks?
3.) can you make a tempered item with more than one of the orange regents? (ex. 3 copper piece, 2 tinderbox, and the recipe)
4.)by jewels it means jewels, or gems?
i bet this sounds stupid, but this is bugging the hell out of me ^_^;

the runes "rune of the guiding hand" for example
2.) when tempering an item, does it have to be a set item, or can it be just the item it asks?
doesn't have to be a set item, just use what it asks for (shiny=magic)
3.) can you make a tempered item with more than one of the orange regents? (ex. 3 copper piece, 2 tinderbox, and the recipe) yes the more u add the more powerful damage or resist you can make the item
4.)by jewels it means jewels, or gems? jewels
i bet this sounds stupid, but this is bugging the hell out of me ^_^;not stupid at all. we all asked similar questions
sry for the repost. just trying to answer best I can

1) Runic tablets are the only ones in game that are supposed to be available so it's them (5 colors, 20 runes per tablet color) even if the old ones still drop in a few places.

2) It has to be a magic item as cc mentioned in the spoiler thread.

3) You need to create the item using the base recipe first then once the item has been tempered (item title turns dark green) you can then transmute the reagents one by one with the tempered item.

4) Jewels as in jewels, the socketable crystals with magical affixes.

Doesn't sound stupid at all, just hope we can help.

Example:

Godly Plate Mail of the Whale + [color=0076ff]Pearl Jewel[/color] + [color=0076ff]Hill Giant's Jewel[/color] + Potion of Fire Resistance + Potion of Strength + [color=007600]Rune of the Dragonet[/color] = [color=007600]{Tempered Plate Mail}[/color]
