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 for whom this applies 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]]; other 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 in open inventory - spare luckstones can be kept within a [[container]] in the event your primary source of Luck is cursed. 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 80% of the time, so blessing them an unambiguous boon, and the quest artifact for your role will always be generated as blessed.
