As long as the thread stays on topic about how to find a crafter, I think it's safe. It seems to be only when details of goods and costs start appearing that ZOS decide to lock them.
I agree that a guild is a good starting point for finding a crafter. You could also look around the Guild Traders in the hope that someone is selling the sort of things you're looking for.
Merchants of the Wulves is pretty good guild for finding a crafter. The guild master himself has most of all the Motifs on several characters, im sure he can craft you anything if you have the coin
Go to Rawl Ka and search for a crafter through zone, or Craglorn if you are veteran. It's an alternative to joining a guild, or asking your friends if you have any.
I can add you to ESOCrafters, a crafting guild aligned with Sludge Industries.
Shoot me an in game mail and i'll send an invite your way!

Are you on PC?
