This enchantment stands out among the damage reduction ones, because of its infinite potential to keep the items from breaking.

Unbreaking

The Unbreaking enchantment is one of the most common one in the game but is nevertheless, one of the most useful. This enchantment will increase the chances of the item not taking any durability damage when used. This will scale with the Level of Enchantment used, all the upto Unbreaking III.

It will make the Shield disappear if the players drops it upon death. Players will have no way to get the item back.
