Through hours (and billions of gold) in testing, I've come up with a spreadsheet
that chronicles the success and fail rate of intensifying elixirs when used on
items.
All tests include Premium (5% bonus to success with elixirs), and use Lucky
Powders (bought from jewel lapidary/grocery trader)

Keep in mind that "Elixirs req" is only an ESTIMATE. Statistics is a cruel
mistress. I once spent 41 elixirs just trying to get a piece of equipment up
to +3.

To make a +0 weapon +1.
Attempts: 80 (This is how many times I've personally done this test)
Successes: 80 (This is how many times I've succeeded getting to +1, +2, etc)
Failures: 0 (This is how many times I've failed getting to +1, +2, etc.)
Success rate: 100% (This is the chance of success of getting to +1)
Elixirs req: 1 (This is the average amount of elixirs required to get from +0 to
whichever bonus this is)
Avg cost weapon: 300,000 (This is how much is costs to go from +0 to +X if
weapon elixirs are 300k on your server. scale up or down accordingly)
Avg cost armor: 200,000(This is how much is costs to go from +0 to +X if
protector elixirs are 200k on your server. scale up or down accordingly)
Avg cost shield: 100,000(This is how much is costs to go from +0 to +X if
Shield elixirs are 100k on your server. scale up or down accordingly)
Avg cost access: 70,000(This is how much is costs to go from +0 to +X if
accessory elixirs are 300k on your server. scale up or down accordingly)
