    Some of those are hard to HQ until you drastically over-level them, but it's possible.

    When you talk to the NPC and get the ingredients, you'll get a buff/debuff which allows use of the crafting facility but also makes the crafting harder in some way. For some recipes, the debuff lowers your CP. For others it forbids use of cross-class skills. And so on. (If it's not allowing master mend, which every class gets, then this is probably one that lowers your CP, so that you don't have enough points left for it by the time you'd normally use it.)

    Make sure you have only the one crafting facility debuff that's required for the current recipe. If you have another active at the same time (because a previous recipe needed it) you'll be trying to craft with both debuffs and it will be a lot harder.

    If your crafting classes are at different levels, one trick is to use your highest level class to actually make the items, but then switch to the class you want to level up when turning in the quest. Most of your XP comes from the quest turn in.

    And sometimes it becomes just a matter of trying again and again until you get lucky with a "Good" condition right when you need it. You get to try as many times as you need. Just talk to the NPC again if you need more ingredients.
