The Item Bless Deed was a reward option from Clean Up Britannia program in 1999. It cost 500,000 tickets, the highest possible reward item. It allowed a player to Bless a single item, rendering it permanently unstealable and unlootable. The only items which could not be blessed were keys(house, ship, container, etc.), containers and stackable items.

Part of what made the item bless deed so sought after was, at the time, Item insurance did not exist in the game(and would not for several more years). Players were routinely looted of any items of value by all too common murderers as the Trammel facet also did not yet exist. Additionally, owing to the extraordinary number of points required to attain the item bless deed, as well as the relatively short amount of time it was offered as a reward(a matter of weeks), it is now an extremely rare item.

Due to changes in game mechanics over the years, the item bless deed has lost much of it's functional value since most any item may now be blessed via item insurance for a small amount of gold. The players who did acquire the item bless deeds commonly used them to bless clothing, armor or weapons. Compared to weapons and armor of today, those from 1999 pale in comparison with regard to damage and other properties. Additionally, Clothing Bless Deeds now exist and serve the singular purpose of blessing clothing items and are not extraordinarily difficult to purchase or acquire.
