So I've had quite a lot of fun and made quite good profits so far with this skill but I'm looking for confirmation on the following:

Upgrading a Lvl4 Weapon from +9 to +10 at an NPC = 10% success chance.
Upgrading the same weapon myself= 20% success chance. Or does it add 10% of the 10% original chance meaning it's just 11%? Personally I'm very strongly leaning towards the former seeing how easy it generally feels to +7/8 Lvl 3/4 Weapons, but can't hurt to ask either way.

I'm just sick of trying to +10 a TSOD with regular means, 6 tries so far, 4 boxes of enriched Ori to no avail. Yea I know statistically I shouldn't have made it yet anyway, still I'm used to being lucky with upgrades and this one is just not doing it for me.

Thanks in advance

It's the first, but it only applies when using the Upgrade Weapon skill, which breaks item on fail. So it's probably not a good idea for +10ing stuff.

Well, for +10ing the cheaper +9 Weapons it certainly seems a lot better to me tbh.

Take the TSOD I'm working on: 10 tries (on avg) vs. 5 tries (on avg) if selfmade.
Can't find your upgrade calc atm. so I'll just go with my first-hand experience: 4 boxes of E.Ori for 5x +9 on it, got them in bulk at 110m/ea so 440m/5attempts= 88m per attempt at 10%.
The +7 items cost me (on average) somewhere around 40m to make myself. So adding the cost of a +7 to the 88m (on average) for +9-+10 brings it to 40m+88m=128m per attempt at 20%. Sure sounds better to me than the former, though of course my upgrading rates are mostly based on recent experiences and not backed by statistical data.

Thanks for answering though, I'll give it a shot and see how it goes.
