1. Crafting Writs - I know they are daily and I think they are tied to level but I have the hardest time finding them. I travel around a bit, throughout the AD realm and I come across writs in Greenshade and then sometimes in Eastmarch but there is no rhyme or reason to when and where I see them, so my question is are they tied to the level of the writ and subsequently to the area, i.e. first writ in Auridon, higher in Coldharbour, higher still Craghorn?? I want to do them daily to build my crafting but just can't figure it out.

They are not tied to your level.
If one is available (once a day once you have done the crafting introduction for that craft), it will always be in the main town of all maps (though not in veteran zones, but thats way ahead of you). There are two signposts. one with the consumable writs (enchanting, provisioning and alchemy) and one for the craftable items (clothier, blacksmith and woodworker). They are normally outdoors (elden root being the exception, they are on the first elvel in the crafting hall).
The item you need to make and where you have to deliver them depends on the proficiency of the crafting. For example If you just started blacksmith, you will need to craft weapons and armor from iron ingots (level 1-14). They need to be delivered in the first town (vulkhel guard for the aldmeri dominion). Once you put one skillpoint into metalworking (top passive in blacksmithing in your skillwindow), you can make steel weapons and armor from steel ingots (level 16-24). The crafting writ will then require you to make them and want you to deliver them just outside of Elden Root in Grathwood. When you put a second skillpoint in, you can make level 26-34 weapons and armor and you need to deliver them in marbruk. The writs will still be available in all the major towns though.

2. Armor sets - I am using Night's Silence (5 pcs) and Vampire's Kiss (3 pcs), I could go with higher sets due to the learned traits but I don't find many that support a Stamina build, I like crit and stamina plus health to offset the very low attribute points invested. I can't do 8 or 9 traits yet so that doesn't help, in 14-15 days I could support 7. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Also are there any dropped sets that I should consider or try to farm and if so, where.

I think with KB in your itnroduction you mean Nightblade (normally shortend to NB)?
I'll be honest. I don't play the NB. But I do know that you should seek a set that compliment your build. It is also not important if it requires 2, 5 or 9 traits. It is important if it works for what you need. My VR4 DK is using armor from three different sets, two of them require only 2 traits to be discoverd. Just cause it is better suited for my build. so look at what you need and not the amount of traits needed!

3. I use a bow and have followed suggested builds that I have found on line and what I have tried on my own but I find that groups of 3 or more and I am just not able to DPS fast enough and live depending on the mob. I use food and potions and burst DPS I am fine. My main is Venom Arrow, Relentless Focus, Swallow Soul, Focused Aim, Silver leash, and Veil of Blades for Ultimate. Back up is 2H and is Brawler, Critical Rush, Impale, Drain Power, and Wrecking Blow, and Veil of Blades for Ultimate. I really like using the bow so suggesting dual wield with shadow is very viable but not my play style. I have 50 in Assassination, Shadow, Siphoning, Bow and Medium Armor so any options in those areas are viable. 2H is only at 27 (wasn't sure what I wanted back up to be, played around with different builds). Any suggestions with my build in mind for group mobbing, not farming so much, I just get tired of sneaking past enemies and leaving that XP on the table.

The bow is somewhat limited for group dps. To solve this I think your second weapon is your friend. As you use stamina the best AoE weapon (destruction staff) is out of question (it's dps scales from your magicka). So you need to seek it in the melee weapons. I think out of the three options, the 2handed weapon is the worse as an alternative, cause it is also very much 1 target dps based. Dual wield has some AoE skills (if you equip them), but I do think sword and shield is better. It makes the fight slower, but cause you can block the damage you have lesser issues. You cleave into one foe, while blocking the heavy attacks from the others. It is personal preference though. So feel free to try both.

Ranique, I did in fact mean NB and not KB, I was thinking a Knight, not Night, anyway. Thanks for the reply, the writs are once a day period, so no matter if in a starter area cause I know where everything is or in a different area all together due to Caldwell's Silver, the writ is the writ, that clears it up a bit. As for the sets I have researched and it seems the 5-7 trait sets just are not that appealing, they certainly don't do much for my build, seems if you are a sorc the choices are many.

You _really_ need to at least try out a full 5 piece set of Hundings Rage, really you do...
