These are my favorite with IWD only (no expansions or mods)
Great little instrument, berserkers are hard to control but they are tough.
1. Bardic Horn of Valhalla - Summons 2-4 berserkers once per day

A nice Talisman and with a party of 3 or more is likely to be kept through the entire game and it is found early.
2. Black Wolf Talisman - +1 AC bonus, +10 Max HPs, +10% cold res., +1 save vs breath

Boost strength of fighter especially good for multi-class who may not have more than 18 str. Good for solo games as well.
3. Gauntlets of Elven Might - +1 saves, 18/51 strength for dual/multi-class fighter

Some penalties but I do like the 50% slashing res as many enimies do slashing damage. You can always remove it as well.
4. Bone Marrow Belt -2 charisma, +50% slashing res., -15% crushing dam.

Similar to 3 but can use on any class
5. Girdle of Stromnos - 19 Strength

My favorite helmet in the game
6. Dead Man's Face - Protects Against Critical Hits, Immune to Horror and Cloak of Fear, -2 charisma

For a paladin, and is what I end up with if I have one.
7. Pale Justice - 5-12 Dmg, THACO +4, +7 dam. and +7 THACO vs evil creatures, immune to fear and charm

Extra items I like in HoW
1. Restored Blade of Aihonen - 6-13 Dmg, THACO +5, +5 Maximum Hit Points, +25% Cold Resistance, +25% Fire Resistance

There are few others as well, and if you ad in TotLM there are even a few more that but I can't think of them of the top of my head.
