[NO SPOILERS] Question about schematics

[frostyshad]

What level of weapon or armor will be according to tier of the crafting schematics?

[Coffeepyromaniac]

There is no level requirement to equip any crafted equipment, if that's what you mean. Schematic tier just determines, how many (different) materials you can use, so higher tier = more stats/defense/offense

Why such? I thought crafted weapon and armor must have the same level requirement system as normal items. For an example my noble orc warrior cannot equip Prismatic Greataxe because of level 8 against level 12 requirements.

No, that's the advantage of crafting. If you can craft it and it is for your class, you can equip it.
Looks like you're mixing "item level" and "level requirement".
As a short explanation:
"Item level" just is the general quality of something. Every weapon/armor has an item level, usually the higher the better (some exceptions with special effects that are independent of that).
"Level requirement" is what level you need to use it. Crafted weapons/armor never have a level requirement.
The weapon in your screenshot is not crafted, that's why it has both: "item level" 15, directly under the dps, and "level requirement" 12, at the bottom.

Weird... O_o

— But I suggest that resources for crafting with schematics that cost ~15 000 in Antiquarian require the resources that I cannot gather on 8th level of character??? (Nightmare, all Trials is ON)

You can use any tier resource with any schematic. So if, for example, you import your schematics from an earlier playthrough via the golden nug statue, you can craft tier 3 schematics as early as Haven. Only resource you may have to buy are fabrics, the rest you can gather easily. Then repeat with better resources once you have them.

Small correction: prior to Skyhold and either one or both of the big plot-oriented encounters--Adamant and Halamshiral--none of the shops stock cloth. The Crossroads Merchant in the Hinterlands sells all of the Tier 1 leathers except Deepstalker Hide (which is functionally identical to Dragonling Hide, so who cares) but you don't get access to the cloth merchant in Val Royeaux until later.

If you want cloth while you're still in Haven, your options are to scour every sack which will give you cloth in onesy-twoesy bits, or killing bad guys, all of whom drop some kind of cloth when they die.

Honestly, I think it's a stupid system: cloth and leather are easy to fabricate, metal much less so. Yet you can get arbitrarily large amounts of metal but leather and cloth only with difficulty.

Too poor then me bought that wooden box from insane merchant in Val Reavaule for 10 000, I need to gather money again to buy a costly schematic from Antiquarian. Something to do more damage...
