Strategy
Since all luck items in vanilla NetHack are quest artifacts, the ability to obtain a luck item can render the guaranteed luckstone within Mines' End redundant; as a result, such characters may elect to postpone their trip to the Gnomish Mines in favor of Sokoban, for example, or else will choose not to proceed beyond Minetown. On the other hand, players may want a luckstone to tide them over until they obtain their luck item.
As with luckstones, there is little tangible benefit to carrying multiple luck items outside of a container, and blessing is not strictly necessary except to prevent the luck item becoming cursed; however, luck items are preferred to luckstones due to the other possible benefits of their base items.
Variants
Luckblade is an artifact weapon that appears in many variants and acts as a luckstone when carried.
UnNetHack
dNetHack
In dNetHack, the Convict quest artifact, The Iron Spoon of Liberation, acts as a luckstone.
