*Chance of being picked to lose durability is weight/total weight, although empty slots or those which contain broken or indestructible items do not add to total weight: for example, if a shield is not equipped on the left arm, total weight is reduced to ..., and ... .

*Each successful melee attack has 4% chance of reducing weapon durability by 1.

However, [[Dragon Talon]], [[Dragon Tail]] and [[Dragon Flight]] do not result in loss of durability for [[boots]] or weapon.

*Throwing weapons have 10% chance of reducing weapon durability by 1 with each successful melee attack. However, their hidden durability values apply to each weapon in a stack individually, so when one is reduced to 0 durability, stack size is reduced by one. Thus a throwing weapon's effective maximum Durability when used as a melee weapon is its maximum durability * maximum stack size: for example, each [[Javelin#Javelin|Javelin]] in a stack has Durability 2 and maximum stack size is 60, resulting in effective maximum Durability 120 (2*60).

*However, [[Impale]]'s loss of durability applies directly to [[javelin]] stack size, not to durability: where a [[spear]]'s durability would be reduced by 1, a javelin's stack size would be reduced by 1. [http://www.theamazonbasin.com/d2/forums/index.php?showtopic=83765&page=6#entry941838]
