Refinement Success Rates:
+1 = 100%
+2 = 100%
+3 = 90%
+4 = 80%
+5 = 80%
+6 = 70%
+7 = 50%
+8 = 40%
+9 = 40%
+10 = 30%
+11 = 20%
+12 = 20%
-> note by Dhatcher1: i have read that slotted and blue/green weapons break more often, and that fine or superior weapons break less often than broken or crude ones.

i thought that +9 is the max lvl of refining and if any weapon is + 9 it glows blood red. than what is +10, 11,12?? is there such thing?

[dhatcher1]

On the Korean and Viet servers, yes.

They also have refinement insurance in their item mall...

lol Davie, u giving a wrong idea bout the refining in our own server, our % success is way lower than that due to we only have +9 atm

[dhatcher1]

I also disagree with our odds being worse. Statistically every story I have heard falls within reasonable probabilities given those percentages.

Per Dev, it was clearly stated that you have worse chance with colored weps when the wep refinement system was added. I can link the information here (it is in Korean). Basically it is saying that normal weps have 10% better success rate and 30% better chance on saving weps on failures over colored wep.
The diffrence stated in this thread based on slotted/superior etc are not true. They should all have the equal chance.
