A '''luck item''' is a general term for any item in ''NetHack'' that changes your [[Luck]] and Luck timeout, such as a [[luckstone]]. Specifically, many [[artifact]]s are designated to "act as a luckstone" when carried, and function in the exact same way as one in addition to any other effects.

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; 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.

There is little tangible benefit to carrying multiple luck items outside of a container; with non-negative base Luck, blessing is not strictly necessary in terms of luck timeout, except to prevent the luck item becoming cursed. However, other luck items are often preferred over luckstones due to the other benefits from their [[base item]]s; as all of them are also quest artifacts, they are [[intelligent]] and will resist the [[curse items]] spell 80% of the time, making blessing them an unambiguous boon.
