Talk:Potion of holy water

Water prayers are not affected by the BUC status of the potions that are on the altar. You can put any number of potions of unholy water on a coaligned altar and pray to convert them to holy water. So I don't see why the article suggests avoiding cursed potions of water in water prayers. Comments? Djao 05:06, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

It is possible that the person that wrote that got it confused with praying for holy water on an unaligned alter and thus making unholy water. *shrug* --MadDawg2552 05:51, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

It might be that unholy water is difficult to create, and does have a few nifty uses, so using it in a water prayer would be rather wasteful. -- Killian 07:17, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

The thing is, early in the game, holy water is way more useful than unholy water, and later in the game, when you might actually want unholy water, a single blessed scroll of remove curse if properly exploited (i.e. read while confused) can create unholy water at any time. In my opinion a blanket prohibition on "wasting" unholy water is bad advice. At best the article might want to advise that in certain situations it is better to save unholy water than convert it to holy water. Djao 07:27, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Best Items?

What are generally the best items to bless? I'm thinking the following:

• Bag of Holding
• Magic Lamp
• Tinning Kit (if you really have a lot of holy water)
• Wand of Genocide/Scroll of Genocide
• Scroll of Charging
• Gain Ability

Am I missing any (I didn't look at artifacts)? Are any of these false? --Havvy 06:56, 23 March 2011 (UTC)
