Quote:As for this special case: Would it not be a good idea to equip Thinking Cap and one item (junk or whatever) and then try the shrine? In this "scenario", the Thinking Cap would have a 50% chance to have its durability increased, if I understood your post correctly. If I equip other items, the chance for Thinking Cap to be increased in durability would be 1 divided by number of items equipped. So, wouldn't it be best to hit the shrine with just Thinking Cap and another item?
I think you must have misinterpreted something somewhere. When hitting the shrine, 3 out of 4 of your equipped item raise in durability, and only 1 loses. So, with 4 items equipped, you should have a 75%(3/4) chance of your Cap increasing, and only a 25%(1/4) chance of it decreasing.
