If you really want to boost your weapon, apply damage buffs, and deal damage to your foes, you might want to try Tempering your weapon. Through the use of Stone Needles, you may enhance your weapons, making them deadlier than ever before.
Let’s break down everything you need to know about Tempering your weapon in Wuchang: Fallen Feathers, so you’re able to enhance your abilities and go beyond your normal limits.
What is Tempering in Wuchang: Fallen Feathers?
Tempering in Wuchang: Fallen Feathers is the act of implanting Stone and Bone Needles into your Feathered arm to enhance your weapons' abilities. Once implanted, these needles will enhance whatever weapon you have equipped when using the Temperance item.
Depending on what needles you have equipped, your weapons will receive different buffs. For instance, the first of these needles is the Bone Needle - Flame. This needle allows you to coat your weapon in fire, dealing additional fire damage to any enemy struck with it and causing Burn buildup.

A big part of a Soulslike is completing NPC quests, but these games have the most rewarding side quests to help you out.
Other needles for Tempering include Bone Needles for Lightning, Arcane, Feathering, Frostbite, Blight, Corruption, Magic, and Leech. There are also additional needles that further enhance your weapons. For instance, the Shadow Stone Needle - Strength will increase the strength control of the weapon you’re wielding.
How to Unlock and Use Tempering
The ability to Temper your weapons is unlocked after defeating the Master Raider - Man-eating Dhutanga at Lightzen Temple. This is the same boss thatdrops the Lightzen Keywhen defeated, allowing you access to the area where Shu Sanctum is located.
From this moment on, you will see the Temper option whenever you stop at a Shrine. It is represented by the arm symbol that says Temper next to the Enter Dream option.
To use your Temper ability in live action, go into your inventory and find the item called Temperance that looks like an arm. I recommend equipping this to your hotbar alongside your Manna Vase, as it will be used quite often.
Activate the Temperance item in your inventory or through your hotbar to apply the buffs from your needles to the weapon you are currently holding.
How to Unlock and Equip Needles
To equip needles via the Temper menu, you will first need to visit a shrine. Once there, select the Temper option in the menu. This will bring you to the Tempering menu.

In the Tempering menu, you will see five acupuncture points that you’re able to equip needles to. These are listed as the Yangchi Acupoint, Huizhong Acupoint, Tianjin Acupoint, Xiaolou Acupoint, and Jiaoliao Acupoint.
You will start by having access to the first two acupoints, while the rest will be unlocked later in the game. Choose an acupoint, and if you have needles that can be equipped, they will appear in the menu.
Select the needle you wish to equip, and it will be applied to your arm. More Needles will be unlocked as you progress through the game and defeat higher-ranked enemies and bosses. You will also unlock more Bone Needles by spending Mercury in the Impetus Repository and leveling up.
Upgrading Your Temperance Ability
You can upgrade the Temperance ability through the Impetus Repository at a Shrine. As you make your way through the different skill trees, you will see nodes that look like needles.
The needle nodes will increase your Temperance ability in different ways. For instance, some of them will grant you additional charges, giving you more uses of your Temperance item between Shrine rests. Others will unlock additional acupoints on your arm.
The upgrades for your Temperance ability are found on the central left skill tree. This is the same skill tree that containsupgrades for your Skyborn Might.
