...wear a regular (white text) armour, no shield, no weapon, and your thinking cap. The TC will go up 10 durability always...
That's not correct. The Hidden Shrine would still have ample chance to hit either slot.
And, since there are only two items equipped, the TC only has a 50% chance of improving. With 4 items (and ignoring the shield (IIRC) preference bug) it has a 75% chance of improving. But, wait, it gets worse :) With only two items, each will, on average, go up as often as they go down. Net result is no gain. With 4 items, three will go up, one will go down, for an average of 5 points gain per item.

And there is not a 75% chance, it is a 100% chance, I don't know why, you figure it out. I don't take risks if you knew me.
