My favorite trick is to use the 'dust' meant for the repair amulet. Especially the green stuff - I keep needing some stone for patching up the dungeons, or glass for a recipe, or a bunch of other 1-EMC items.

If that won't get you the item, try starting with an empty EMC-storage, then going gradually up.

Specficially for Ingots of varying kinds, I just 'step down' the list of ingots, usually starting at gold.

I find I can usually just start 'downgrading' from whatever list I start with (pick the item you think is the lowest on the list, put it in the middle, and then either repeat with the new items or, if it didn't change, pick one of the others. You shouldn't get 'stuck' until you get down to the 'wood' section.)

Of course, keeping a bag/chest with 1 of every item helps too, and by the time you've got a Tome you should be able to make a 'bag of holding' or two (I forget the exact name. I just type in 'bag' when I need the recipe)
