Upgrade Pity for all upgradeable equipment
Weapon, Armor, and Accessory, general upgrading, piercing, and element upgrading use an Upgrade Pity system for probabilities. This pseudo-random system aims to lower the extreme variance of luck. This means that it’s less likely to get really lucky while upgrading, but also less likely to get really unlucky.
With the upgrade pity system, your success rate will rise with each failed upgrade attempt, until you get a successful attempt.
Mathematically, this system produces the same upgrade chances but provides a very nice safety net and is less reliant on RNG. This system is based on a simple Markov-Chain; For example, a 2% probability will begin at 0.062%, and go up by 0.062% each failed attempt. With this system the standard deviation for a success is +/- 17 upgrade attempts, instead of +/- 49 upgrade attempts with the old system.
The number of failed attempts is stored on the item, not the player. This means that when trading items between players, the items retain their number of failed attempts for each upgrade. These numbers are visible on the item tooltip:
