Just off the top of my head...
A sword called 'Excalibur', obviously. 25-50 base damage, +200% damage, +200% To Hit, two handed but adds the same blocking as a fastblock shield, has haste, +30 to all attributes, Max resists. Requires 100 Strength and reduces AC by 50%.
How about 'The Midas Ring' - every gold value doubles when in your inventory. That is, if you're wearing the ring when you pick up 80 gold pieces from a drop it becomes 160. If Gris will give you 2500 gold pieces for an axe you've found then once you've accepted it becomes 5000 in your inventory. Useless for character and battling nasties but very handy for cranking Gris, Wirt and Adria. And all your pots go gold too.
'Robin Hood's Bow' - it shoots around corners! You place the cursor at either of the two diagonal squares radiating from a corner and the arrow zips around that corner on whichever of those two parallels you've indicated. Okay, I'm dreaming...
'Loki's Beard' - an amulet that turns you into whatever monster-type you first encounter on a level; other monsters of that type get activated but don't recognise you're an enemy.
'Falstaff's Staff' - it turns you into a portly wisecracking old buggar and has 100 charges of alcoholic poisoning.
