This was prepared to answer somebody's question in the Q&A Forum.
But it helped me out a lot in the process of thinking so I'll put it here
The original question was: Can you achieve 100% Ice (status) reduce?
This depends on how the game handles status effect reduces.
8th degree accessories can be maxed with 20% Ice resistance.
Note: That's what I remember it is. Also the maximum resistance you can get on the accessory depends on the degree of the item. On lower degree items the maximum values are lower.
Calculation:
4 accessories x 20% resistance = 80% resistance max (at current stage of game. This might change due to the unlockage of 9th degree accessories)
Also you can use that in combination with Fire Shield series that reduces abnormal effect.
Fire Shield Emperior [Book 4 level 1] at level 68 gives -78 effect reduce.

Ice imbue: [Blook 4 level 3] at level 69 have 158 effect.

Again, whether or not you can achieve 100% depends on the way Silkroad client handles the effect reduce
Case 1: Takes % from accessory first, then the effect reduce by skill second.
Original effect: 158
158 x 20% (reduce 80%, 20% left) = 31.6. Rounded to 32
32 - 78 (abnormal reduce from skill) < 0.
100% ice effect reduce achieved.
Case 2: Takes effect reduce by skill first, then takes % from accessory
Original effect: 158
158 - 78 (abnormal reduce from skill) = 80
85 x 20% (reduce 80%, 20% left) = 16
158 effect reduced to 16.
Please feel free to leave any comment and corrections regarding the calculation.
