Well as I globalled, it took me nearly an entire 250 elix before I got +5 on my neck. Only diff was that I was wearing a luck dress. I'm gonna have to test that myself sometime now.
So I just used 150 elixers on my staff, just prem+ and I've gotten +5 maybe 4 times. I have to admit it went faster than the neck I tried, but I still believe this is way too low of a rate for enjoyable alchemy. All of them failed +6 afterwards (with luck stone and dress).
I think I will just buy my items instead of making them myself, leave the alchemy to the 'lucky' chars.
