Out of 10 armors and level 4 weapons I attempted to upgrade, 7 broke going from +5 -> +6. Only 1 of the items made it to +7. What are the official upgrade rates for enriched ore on armor and level 4 weapons, and is there any chance of it being tested soon?

I made four +6 and three +7, might have just been a luckier day for me.

as for specifics, please refer to this extremely useful page:

Except for the safe refine levels, there is no official information on the refinement system's probabilities, which I think is absurd.

"Gravity: Hi. Would you like to buy a box of enriched ore for $1.05? It lowers the chance of your equipment breaking when you attempt to refine it.
Customer: By how much?
Gravity: We can't tell you.
Customer: Why not?
Gravity: [Silence]"

In my experience, level 4 weapons seem to break more often than armour, despite what iRO Wiki says. I think we would see some large discrepancies if a comprehensive test of the refinement system was ever performed.

This is the only game I've played that doesn't tell you the rates of various functions in the game.

Give players what we want !
Telling us the rates doesn't do anything bad to the game at all. This is just -_-ty decicions.

Actually, I've +9ed Level 4 weapons much more efficiently than Armor. It has to be the other way around. I've already spent over 1k HD Elu's trying to +9 my one Rideword Hat and have failed, but I've managed to +9 7 Level 4 weapons while using less than 100~ total HD Oris on those +9's. >.>

pretty much 100% with the upgrade bug

One of the few bugs I never had explained to me qq.

The amount of upgrading I've been doing lately and not getting +6 is frightening... and rather frustrating as well.

Well, They have Nerfed the rate quite a few time.

Original Ori/Elu had a decent upgrade rate,
E. Ori/Elu came out and took the original ore rates and Original Ores, rates doped.
Same deal with HD Ores,

But then this is just my opinion

I am thinking of upgrading my most cherished item that is not +5 yet. Is there any chance of an official word on what the enriched ore upgrade rates are?

No, and I doubt there ever will be. I suspect that Gravity Corporation (in South Korea) forbid the companies they license RO to to disclose the probabilities. My advice is to not to overrefine equipment unless you are prepared for the possibility of losing it.

iRO Wiki states that the cumulative probability of refining equipment to +7 using enriched oridecon is:

Level 1 weapon: 100%
Level 2 weapon: 90%
Level 3 weapon: 67.5%
Level 4 weapon: 32.4%
Armour: 32.4%

It also states that enriched oridecon has the same probability of success as regular oridecon in the following cases:

Level 1 weapon: +4 to +7 and +9 to +10
Level 2 weapon: +4 to +6 and +9 to +10
Level 3 weapon: +4 to +5 and +9 to +10
Level 4 weapon: +9 to +10
Armour: +9 to +10
