If you don't have the recipe they are usually buayble at inns (brewer for drinks, cook for food recipes)
Make sure to check guild traders as well you can get most of the green and blue recipes dirt cheap with a bit of searching.
That or try your luck asking in guild chat your more than likely to get people willing to send you their extra's from doing daily provisioning writs on multiple characters, so that they can free up bank space.
Note, for normal crafting writs, it does not matter who makes the item, as long as it is crafted. It can be you, or someone else. Also, for gear like weapons, you don't have to improve anything. In fact, if you do improve it the normal writ won't complete.
Later on, when you max out a crafting skill and material passive for that skill, you have a chance to get a Master Writ as a reward for doing a normal crafting writ. then you have to make the item in question for the Master Writ.
Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.
