What I mean is that I doubt everyone will be a level 1 right off the bat or end up being level 90 when we start. What I'm trying to figure out is how far or abilities start out as and what we will be able to do. For example a cook with a high level can make food taste like heaven but if a low level cook tries we get purple mush. 
Then we have a blacksmith in the latter known episodes is shown that they invent steam power so what level would we need to be in order to do that.

It's more depending on what you can do. A Level 1's cooking won't taste very good and they can only make simple things with a high failure rate, like salad. Later on in the tree, you would learn new recipes that would "taste" better with a lower failure rate.

Generally, you need to discover stuff with higher levels and the lower levels can replicate it.

I wonder if we can use a face claim from the anime. I'm planning to take Soujiro >.<

Yea... I have no idea what a face claim is, besides from the Urban Dictionary definition (which doesn't help me).
