Leveling "Maintenance" skill from 0 to 1 makes does not reduce chance of durability loss reduction in use of Crafted Spears and Stone Axes

[Crotchfire]

According to the wiki, we should expect that a crafted spear should average 10 hits/20 hits before breaking and a stone axe should average 25 chops/35 chops on a tree before breaking at Maintenance 0/1.  However, neither of these appear to be affected between these levels.  I don't yet know whether this is also the case with higher levels of Maintenance.

My understanding was that either 2 Mainteance, or 2 weapon skill was required before it had any impact of weapon durability (for combat).  Not sure about tree chopping, I think that uses a different calculation.  I usually use proper axes for chopping trees, and stone axes for combat (due to their lighter weight, which reduces their endurance cost).
