TRI, PEN, DI... what? 

No expert here, bunI know many have no clue what these mean.

Basics

- In the game you obtain a limited amount of base gear(not a lot of choices).

- Depending on the gear, you can decide to keep it and upgrade it.

- When upgrading, you use the Black Spirit to apply Stones(Armor or Weapon) and attempt to upgrade a piece of gear. Not gonna go into fail rates here., but it can fail. Link

- The upgrade path goes +0 +1 +2 +3 +4 +5 +6 +7 +8 +9 +10 +11 +12 +13 +14 +15 PRI DUO TRI TET PEN

So thats what these terms mean when talking gear.

PRI = +16
DUO = +17
TRI = +18
TET = +19
PEN = +20

PC vets can add or correct. Thanks!

this is correct, normal black stones can't be used to go beyond +15. Then you need to have hard black stones  to upgrade armor +16,+17,+18 etc... and sharp black stones for mainhand, awakening weapon and offhands. These will most likely be added with Mediah expansion, (new area, 60 lvl cap, release of some awakenings)

 that fail stacking chart is outdated. It's close but we got he actual numbers on the PC now.

Google doc of the most recent fail stack numbers

This should be near to the correct information. As soon as the enhancement rates come to the black spirit you have to be the judge what to use and not to use. This would just become a guide line of what is ideal.

Just as a PC players perspective, +14 and +15 are cancer, getting DUO will bone you, TRI is hit or miss and is easier than DUO, TET is just luck, PEN you are RNG carried AF.
