Although the majority of the dangers you'll encounter while exploring [[the Dungeon]] simply try to reduce your [[HP]] or afflict you with [[status effects]], some monsters and damage types also inflict '''item destruction'''. Although this won't kill you directly, losing critical consumable items can greatly reduce your odds of survival. Bear in mind that these attacks attempt to destroy every item in your [[inventory]]; carrying lots of useless scrolls, potions, or food will not reduce the chance of your useful items being affected!

==Scrolls==
Any time you suffer [[fire]] damage, there is a chance that your [[scroll]]s will be destroyed. The likelihood of this occurring decreases when your [[AC]] reduces the damage dealt. You can reduce this chance through the following means:
*The [[Preservation]] or [[Conservation]] intrinsics (90% reduction)
*The [[demonspawn mutation#Hurl Hellfire|Hurl Hellfire]] and [[demonspawn mutation#Ignite Blood|Ignite Blood]] [[demonspawn mutation]]s (90% reduction)
*Being a [[lava orc]] (90% reduction)
*Worshiping [[Jiyva]] ([[piety]]-based reduction)

==Potions==
Any time you suffer [[cold]] damage, there is a chance that your [[potion]]s will be destroyed. The likelihood of this occurring decreases when your AC reduces the damage dealt. You can reduce this chance through the following means:
*The [[Preservation]] or [[Conservation]] intrinsics (90% reduction)
*The [[demonspawn mutation#Passive Freeze|Passive Freeze]] and [[demonspawn mutation#Icemail|Icemail]] [[demonspawn mutation]]s (90% reduction)
*Worshiping [[Jiyva]] ([[piety]]-based reduction)

==Food==
Any time you are hit by a [[giant spore]] explosion or [[harpy]] melee attack, there is a chance that your [[food]] will be destroyed. You can reduce this chance through the following means:
*The [[Preservation]] or [[Conservation]] intrinsics (90% reduction, '''does not apply to harpy attacks''')
*Worshiping [[Jiyva]] ([[piety]]-based reduction)

==Corrosion==
[[Acid]] attacks don't destroy items, but they do cause [[corrosion]]. See the [[Corrosion]] page for more details.
