So I should start with Culinarian? Do I need to purchase "tools"? And the mats come most from vendors? You can't get the mats from drops?

Just like combat classes need weapons, crafter and gatherer classes need tools to do their job. And just like weapons you will get basic tools that are enough to get by with, by doing your class quests. Better tools can be crafted, or bought from the Market Board.

For low-level recipes (up to level 15) practically all mats can be bought from the guild vendor. Higher level mats can be obtained as random drops from landscape mobs, gathered by a gatherer class, or bought from an NPC vendor, or crafted, depending on the mat. Or you can buy mats from the Market Board, but that is often expensive.
