I disagree about the importance of the random flaming long sword. You can get the same sword from the adventurer on DE lvl 4, so missing the random one isn't a big deal.
My favourite random item is the Repeating Heavy Crossbow. It isn't critical to the party's survival, but it's hugely destructive in the hands of a crossbow specialist.
If you're running a druid, maybe the most important HoF item is the Bone Marrow Belt. With the right shapechange it gives immunity to slashing weapons, providing a perfect tank against many dangerous enemies.
