[Satrek2000]

I have trust in Tseng and doubt that he'd allow uber-strong items to be added, and I also expect these to be given out/evented in a proper way, not favoring anyone as far as level and strength are concerned.
Another idea would be... well, probably hard to implement... there is a runestone anyone can craft from, say, a mountain stone, a river stone, a magic icecube and a demon finger. It weights 0.0042 kg and does absolutely nothing. You have to use a diamond on it to personalize it, making it (for example) Satrek2000's Runestone. It also has 4-5 free 'slots' which can be filled using special gems or potions (whatever), which will be evented. These give certain resistances. Now, there would be events where a certain amount of resistance is given as prize, the winner hands his runestone to the EM which will then add the resistance, filling one slot. You cannot have 2 slots filled with the same resistance. And only the owner can use the stone, same as with improved weapons. You can have two or more, but only use one at a time. And you shouldn't be able to wash them. Any comments on that?
