Hi, guys have not found any valuable answer/guide regarding this question for the current state of the game, hope you can help.

  1. When you enhance your weapons and gear at mythic (red) quality, what percentage is a reliable failstack (25, 30, 40%)?
  2. Also, when you enhance it to lets say +1 should you increase the next failstack (eg. 7.5% failstack for +1...15% failstack for +2) or keep the same, trying and repairing?
  3. Since there is no ingame information about high the current enhancement successrate is (needs totally to be changed), are the chances for weapons and gear the same or is there a difference? (need 7.5% for gear, but 15% for weapon)

Is there a dedicated strategy other than, get a failstack at unlicensed smith than painfully grind/buy embers, add them and hope for the best? Do you buy less popular A gear and use it for failstacking?

Thanks in advance.

The devs are keeping the actual success rates for enhancement secret. We found that the best failstack is between 15% and 20%. I personally never use embers. Even if you were to raise your chance to 100% you could still fail because there is a cap somewhere in the system. Also, I advise against using A gear to failstack ever. Just do field boss runs and keep all B-grade chest and leg pieces, then use those for failstacking. Weapons seem to have the same success and fail chance as armor, but cost more cores, so avoid breaking weapons for a failstack. I just got my weapon to mythic and I can tell you it's a struggle. Take it easy and stop trying when you run out of repair tools. Go do other stuff and try again tomorrow. Forcing it will just burn you out.

I did a guide on this a little while ago. Maybe it will help https://youtu.be/OGzcUCtZR3k
