You have compounding and then P, J, S for Primary, Junior and Senior. But what does the + or - with a number behind it mean?

Thank you. ^^

NEVERMIND WHAT I ASKED BEFORE,

I saw that it was about the rank going up or down, But does it matter if there's higher + or not? As for chosing which one U'll use for compounding.

I have a post somewhere where I explained it (I think) x.x just gotta find it........

well I can't find it and I'm to tired to look sooo I'll just try to remember what I wrote lol

In basic terms the higher the + the lower the chance of success. Most people say that a +2 increase in rank is a pretty safe jump and fairly easy to do. Some will even swear that you have a better chance of a success with a +2 than with a +1 rank increase. Not sure if that is true since I don't know all the mechanics behind wlo but in general I kind of believe that a +2 is the easiest to compound. The higher you go with the jump the lower the rate of success is. So when looking at a compound if you see a +4 without a book and then you see the same formula but with a book 2 most people will try the formula with a book 2 to that little extra % of success.

Just want to be clear though that the lower jumps don't mean you have a 100% chance of failing. I'm tried compounding formulas that people say never fail and managed to fail 5 or 6 times in a row so it happens.

Thank you very much, this really helps.
I always look on this site, but I couldn't help but wondering what it ment.

Thank you.

I always thought the higher the number like +5 the better chance you got of getting a successful compound and the lower the number like a -7 means it will fail. Thanks for clearing it up. So far I tried both positive number and negative number formulas and both fail for me. How do you get success rate higher?
