Except that equipment plays no factor in the RNG, for crafting at least.

Your failure rate on a level 1 recipe is the same in full HQ ironworks as in level 1 equipment. The equipment only affects how many times you need to roll by boosting the progression numbers on a successful attempt. In the door example, you'd have a fixed failure rate to open the door (you have to get creative on how that works) and depending on the quality of your boots, shirt, gloves and pants, you'd be able to open it to any degree from barely one inch to fully opening it in one go. And Gucci is OP, clearly.
