Now that there's Eu5, you can get to level 21 without fearing this chadz text.
So no more lvl 2 chadz text with peasant outfits, where you couldn't do anything.
You can then hop to battle/siege/rageball with a pretty decent outfit, depending on what you want to craft, what you want to use. I think that with the appearance of eu5, there's no more problem with the chadz text.
It's just luck anyway, so choose your way :
-be a real craftsman, and carry from lv21 to 31 the same equipment, every time, every map.
-don't give a shit, and do whatever you want
Also, if you want to change playstyle, and don't want to ruin your crafting skills, that's where alts are usefull.
