It matters not how many items one decides to upgrade in succession. A "x" percent upgrade chance to succeed means there is a "x" percent PROBABILITY of successfully succeeding an upgrade. Say you replace x with 50... This means that every single attempt has a 50 percent chance of succeeding, it remains constant for each try. However, statistically speaking, the more attempts you make, the higher the likelihood of seeing success at least once over multiple tries. If you have a 3 percent chance of success on each upgrade and you do 14 upgrades, then the probability of succeeding at least once is approximately 44.71%, if you go full balls deep and do 100 upgrades, then the likelihood is approximately 95.29%. What I'm attempting to prove here is that you just need luck. I feel like the extremely difficult upgrade rates help in keeping hardcore fans of the server playing, if everyone maxed out everything in a matter of days or weeks, then everyone just quits much sooner and waits for a new release. But hey, who am I to even talk, I HATE THE ANVIL, I told myself a single rule, NO MORE UPGRADING.
