 Since all luck items in vanilla ''NetHack'' outside of the luckstone are [[quest artifact]]s, the ability to obtain a luck item can render the guaranteed luckstone within [[Mines' End]] redundant. Some characters whose role this applies to may elect to postpone their trip to the [[Gnomish Mines]] in favor of [[Sokoban]], for example, or else choose not to proceed beyond [[Minetown]]; other players may want a luckstone to tide them over until they obtain their quest artifact.

While an uncursed luckstone can suffice in most cases, blessing one allows bad luck to time out and provides a buffer against the [[curse items]] [[monster spell]] and other similar effects. Other luck items may be preferred in the main inventory over luckstones due to the benefits from their [[base item]]s: all of them are [[intelligent]] quest artifacts that will resist the [[curse items]] spell {{frac|4|5}} (80%) of the time, so blessing them is an unambiguous boon, and the quest artifact for your role will always be generated as blessed.

+A hero wielding a non-cursed weapon that functions as a luck item, i.e. Luck Blade or [[The Tsurugi of Muramasa]], can completely resist the [[gaze attack]] of [[evil eye]]s. Luck items used as weapons also have unusual effects on an evil eye: hitting an evil eye with a cursed luck item will heal it for 4d6 [[HP]], while hitting one with a blessed luck item will instantly kill it.
