I remember I got some easy recommendations by repairing Unique Items. While I had an Advy for a long time and a long time back (Before equipment changes), I remember getting a recommendation from selling an Unique Item, then getting an Unique Item back to repair, which I sold to another Noble in another Realm for another recommendation. While it's pretty dangerous to do, you can get some recommendations pretty quick like that. But I guess it's a risk-reward thing.
