'… will aid players in advancing their characters to item level 1370. ’
Then why word it as artisan energy, instead of using 20% success rate and then 10% honing success rate. Word it as 20% artisan energy rate and 10% honing success rate.
I get what your saying, most of us are just on the copium since getting to 1370 has not been an issue for us in a long ass time.
Cause this change helps both things out if you can do some maths
Even so explaning this thing would be difficult anyways
Because they don’t read. It says that in the beginning of the text. Only thing it doesn’t specify is, if it’s for everyone or for the new players, since it’s written right after the mokoko challenge section.
Hope you know that if the buff is from 1302 - 1415 this statement is still correct.
It says in the patch notes “This update also includes a new Growth Support Effect which will aid players in advancing their characters to item level 1370”
That 10% is probably for 1370 to 1415
It wont be for +15 to +25. Even korea doesnt have that
^^This but also probably copy and pasted it in error.^^
this is what i’m inclined to believe but even in this case it should be clarified if it is for 1340 gear +1 to +15 or both 1302 and 1340 gear +1 to +15
yup, that is copium version. Stop reading if you want to believe 
The version that it accelerates the success rate increase upon failure from current 10% to 20% seems more adequate. Meaning you only take 5 fails to reach “the max success rate” instead of current 10 fails.
All only for 1302 gear (up to 1370)
It says 20% (max 20%), and we already have stronghold research to increase the chances, maybe they don’t stack? Like from stronghold AND honing buff, hence the max 20%. So people with or without stronghold buff get max 20% increase.
And then additional 10% on top?
So for new player honing success 30%, tomorrow it will be 30+20+10 = 60%
And for old Player 40% (10% stronghold buff), tomorrow it will be 40+10+10 = 60%
40=30+10 because we already got 10% from stronghold and the max increase is 20
While writing this, this idea does not sound good so I don’t know. Just gotta wait and see tomorrow
What is 100% sure: There will be many more alts at 1370 doing yoho simulator after maintenance

I have a feeling there was notes for 1302 gear to +15 and 1340 gear to +15. I don’t see any chance of a +10% buff on 15+ gear, but could for sure see this working until 1415. It makes sense, and is a lot more consistent then +10% global on all T3.
it would be, if they didn’t said 1-15 lvl.
And they did not say 1-15 lvl for these 2 lines specifically. So are you saying i’m correct? No. But your point does hold anymore? Also no.
it is to help ppl who didn’t do or can’t do the 1385 research. If you have it it doesn’t matter
what i’m saying is, a little interpretation goes a long way.
And interpretation often is incorrect so i guess we back to square 1
Maybe you should re-read the notes, its only a 10% increase.
As you can see below, we currently have a Basic success rate +10% (up to 10%) that will increase to Basic success rate +20% (up to 20%).
They add the “up to” part for morons that cant do basic math and could be confused and think it means 30%, and to clarify even further they even state that its a 10% increase for some people that find it too hard to do “20% - 10% = 10%” 
It’s a solid 10%. If you were at 20% before, now you’ll have a 30% chance.
What does this line refer to then?
" * Basic success rate increased by 20% (max. 20%) when honing Tier 3 item level 1302 gear from level 1 to 15."
Literally wait for patch tomorrow and you all will find out how much your honing % chance has gone up by. There’s no point speculating and not like it does anything for you right now.
