Does this have any applications as a thrown weapon, as the inverse of holy water?--PeterGFin 10:37, August 3, 2010 (UTC)

Anyone happen to know if the fountain dipping for unholy water is a one or two step process when done with holy water? (This is somewhat important/relevant in illiterate and atheist games where one often has, or atleast I do, three stacks of water pots: buc id blessed, named blessed and named uncursed, but no buc id'd uncursed. So I'm just wondering if it's easier to just use one buc id'd blessed for it and keep checking inventory or use a named uncursed and see if it re-stacks with named uncurseds) --Kynde (talk) 07:48, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

To answer myself, the Source:Ref/dipfountain 403-405 reveals that the chance is one in 30 and it's indeed cursed straight up even if it's holy water to begin with. (moreover, it seems that aside from dipping into holy/unholy waters, the game more often just curses on blesses no matter the original status than take it through the twostep process) --Kynde (talk) 08:07, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
