Condition

The chance of losing durability can be simplified to the following formula: 1 in (1 + maintenanceMod × 2). Where "maintenanceMod" is calculated using the short blade and maintenance skills.
Below is an example of the chance of losing durability at varying levels of the maintenance and short blade skills.

For how this is calculated, see: Durability
Maintenance skill Weapon skill Durability lower chance
0 0 1/1 (100%)
0 4 1/3 (33%)
0 8 1/5 (20%)
4 0 1/5 (20%)
8 0 1/9 (11%)
4 4 1/7 (14%)
4 8 1/9 (11%)
