The only events currently that is geared towards rewarding when using items are charms, refinement, seal scrolls, cave keys, battle armour threads, and summon scrolls. The rewards tend to vary in relation to the item. There are events that asks you to spend stamina but it rewards you indirectly, like PriaseLuka stated.
If I were you, start tracking when events are usually released as its been working for me for the past 4 months, save the items, and only spend it when the events come out per week.
