Has the rate at which items are heated changed with the July 30 patch?

I am curious if the recent changes to how items are heated has influenced the rate at which they heat in the Clockworks.

I understand that you have to take items to a forge now to level them up, and that you may potentially get bonus heat in this process. But in specific regards to the clockworks, has anything changed?


Solution 1:

According to these patch notes. I wouldn't say there are any changes regarding item heat rate anywhere, including the clockworks. (As of the July 30, 2013 patch.)
