So I was watching Monty Python and the Holy Grail, and I was wondering if there was an item that was similar to the Grail in Pathfinder that I could sent my group on a massive hunt for. If anyone knows of such a powerful item could you post it on here, so far I have not found something like a Grail yet.
That would be a major artifact I would say.

A quick look through ultimate equipment turns up Branch of Life and Philosopher's Stone among minor artifacts, and nothing real specific among the Major ones.
It's probably because it would be such a powerful artifact, maybe it's best not implemented in game :)

IIRC there were stats for it in 2nd edition...
I would say a holy grail artifact item would have a number of Cure X Wounds per day, a Heal once per day/week, a resurrection once per month, and a true resurrection once per year. Or something to that effect.
If stated as a major artifact, I would give it the ability to grant a Heal + Breath of Life on any imbiber 1/x (day/week/month/ever).
If the drinker is a follower in good standing of the Deity backing the Grail, it instead instantly cures the imbiber of any and all negative status effects, HP damage, Poison, Disease, Ability Damage/Drain, Negative Levels, etc. at the same 1/x rate.
Destroying the Artifact would probably involve a follower of a directly opposing Evil Deity drinking the blood of a powerful goodly Outsider out of the Grail, or something to that effect.
Why would it need to do anything? It's just a macguffin, the fact that it's the Holy Grail should be enough to quest for it.

Heal CL20 infinite use but 1/day on any given target. Major artifact. Can only be moved while coconuts are being used rhythmically by a cohort, familiar, or animal companion. Destroyed by drinking a tear of joy from Asmodeus from the cup

I would go with the cure anything, but after use it disappears, probably giving it a few minor uses as well that don't cause it to disappear (A constant bless or something)
Thank you for all the advice!
