No you don’t.
That seems to be platform dependent and varies between DLC and Bazaar items on PlayStation at least.
DLC weapons require the relevant prerequisite epic weapons feat at least, so they are not available until the level when feat points are irrelevant. Much like the building styles are unlocked as soon as the master mason feat is taken.
Exception being Flotsam.
Flotsam also has the super power of allowing the crafting of awnings, those game breaking things that are usually gated until level 41. Being able to make them as soon as one takes basic masonry is truly a game break atrocity of the highest order.
With the awesome power of Awnings on their side, surely the P2W wretches who bought Siptah are invulnerable to other low level scrubs. Step aside Feroxic daggers, the real whale weapon has arrived!
Of course, the solution of not level gating Awnings to the absurd level 41 is just silly.
Bazaar items seems to be ready to craft as soon as that bench hits the foundation and seem to have no prerequisite at all.
Ancestral knowledge seems to be outside the normal feat progression, whereas the DLCs are more like free additions to it.

That’s the best approach i read all these years in here and actually it’s 100% correct.
I play elder scrolls online too and the best sets both for pve and pvp are in eso plus dungeons 
. Well, that’s pay to win if you ask me 
. When a vanilla player will never be as strong as the “funder”.
I find the balance of some payed situations silly, yet pay to skip is the best approach i read all these years and you’re correct.
Pay to win, or pay to skip however, it’s unfair!

The gates too.
Now i remember. You only have to have the tier, but not the actual weapon recipe. ex: Can craft the DLC epic maces without knowing the star metal mace recipe.

This thing about the DLC bows has been like that for years now.
But it has always been like that. The DLCs were P2W or P2Convenience at least.
This is the way to go. Though it does not solve the problems with abusable building pieces and placeables.
That’s right, gates are usually what, Stonebrick gated?
That’s another issue that sometimes rankles this one, when it feels like DLC or Bazaar items are intended to patch some absence in the base game.
Such as a tier 1 gate
Or the ability to craft tier 1 Awnings before level 41.
Because seriously, why the cluck are awnings stuck all the way in master mason?
No the flotsom gates is not gated.

Have you ever put together a prefabbed awning?

This one finds the pre-fab versions to be an excellent example of tech moves forward and life becomes somehow more challenging.
Like the first generation of self deploying tents.
No.
Just no.
Having set up more Ren Faires than most people will attend in a life time, awnings are easy to make.
As easy as the prefab kits are obtuse to deploy.
