92% Artisan for +20 have no clue how many tries were, as after 50 artisan stopped any math and go rage mode after selling even all my gems lol been laughed at on moake wtf 1455 no gems noob 
The obsession on me wasnt for dmg or glow, I tried it like 3 weeks all grind spent for it, just to get rid of the thoughts on future cost and to sell all destruction stone from now.
Worst moments since I play this game, is not worth tbh if is looking go downhill , better let it go an try next week a series, this is painful needs time sink haha

Pities to 10,11,12,13,14,15. yup. every. single. one. on the verge of quitting because it feels awful to see people who die in p1 argos with a 1450+ character. only because the game decided they get lucky and other people don’t. Its just not fun and my time is not rewarded.
Update:
+21 - 6 taps
+22 - 51 taps
+23 - 11 taps
I was 1 tap before hitting pity to +20, after that i wasnt even happy to have weapon +20, quited game after 2 weeks because other gear parts was quite similar situation
+14 and +17 full artisan. +18 few taps, +19 1 tap, +20 5 taps, +21 5 taps.
Then yesterday, my friends were burning mats and were mad how shit their luck is.
So i said “i will stream u my +22 since i finally have enough honor shards”. Wanted to make them happy failing my hones.
Bitch 2 tapped to +22. My guildies hate me. Thx jeff
edit: fun part is i decided to change my main to arcana some time ago so tap only when i have bound mats (including destro/guardians). When i decided it my wep was +19. I think game wants me to stay demonic main
20+ i hit pity and 21+ i reach 92% artisan energy everything is full juiced i spent around 800k gold on 21+ and i still failed to reach 22+ so i went uninstalling the game now i am stress free

Happen the same to me, weapon honing has been quick taps except for +16, that one was full artisan energy, the rest 1 to 3 taps (full juice every single try)
First of all, congratz!
Based on multiple people that i saw live upgrades i would say that ur honing sessions was really insane, i had to pity from +16 all the way up to +19, painful but both sides can happen, its rng all the way till pity.
Spent around 70k gold, but also my gf is a bard so we swap guardian and destruction stones. My armor is mostly still +17
just do what i did and main Gunslinger can’t see shit on the weapons anyway.
Bad thing i can’t say the same for armor, has been hard times 
This isn’t meant to be a brag, but I have gotten incredibly lucky.
Getting to 15 was a straight up nightmare, but it was downhill from there for me. I had completed the 500 honing failure achievement slightly after my first character hit 1370.
My 15-20 weapon was all 1 taps (maybe a singular 2-3 tap mixed in)
21 was 81% Artisan
I fail stacked 2 pieces of armor going from 18-19 my chest and legs. The rest were 3-7 attempts with the majority of them hitting on the third.
After I hit 20 with my weapon I used my remaining honing materials to upgrade my armor. 2 attempts with nothing and the third fully juiced which succeeded most of the time.
I have found the best way to upgrade. Have another friend play the game with prophetic powers and only upgrade the item he tells you to upgrade. It has worked for me. I don’t upgrade without my friend telling me what to upgrade. I have no choice in what I am upgrading, I only choose when I am upgrading.
Foolproof method that works 100% of the time, because I believe it does and you can’t tell me otherwise.
I pittied several times to include +20. So annoying that it cost me 10x as much to get same result as you.
