Lucky 8 Ball

The lucky 8-ball is a unique pool ball in Fallout 3.

Characteristics
It has a weight of 1 and increases the Luck stat by 1 point (up to a maximum of 10) as long as it is carried in the player character's inventory. If it is dropped (including storing it in a container), a dialogue box will mention "no longer feeling lucky," and the Luck bonus will be removed until it is picked up again.

Unlike normal pool balls, it cannot be used as Rock-It Launcher ammunition.

Location
The lucky 8-ball can be obtained by healing the injured Timebomb in Big Town. It will only be given to the Lone Wanderer by Timebomb after the super mutant attack is repelled.

Bugs
Sometimes, the 8-ball's +1 Luck effect will stop working. This can be fixed by dropping it and picking it back up.
