Quote: Someone please correct me if I am wrong, but I would think that if you have a TC (or any other item) that is below 10 durability remaining (9/21 for example) that it will always go *up* in Durability because the item is skipped for the loss because the game will not destroy it... correct?
NO.
If an item is "selected" for reduction, the other three slots will go up even if the "reduction" goes from 1/1 to 1/1. This is actually a good thing if you're building up dur for all slots, because you're +30 rather than the usual +20 total.
THERE IS NO WAY TO GUARANTEE (short of cheating) THAT A SLOT WILL INCREASE.
(You could deliberately take advantage of the shrine-seed bug, and maybe that would be "legit" but it would most definitely be very very high on the "cheese-o-meter".)
Of course, you CAN guarantee that a slot will decrease. Just clear the other slots. B)
