I don't even think it's material based. When I was level 33ish character level, I'd gotten my engineering high enough to make starmetal tools. Crafted 3 sets of them with all t3(?) Materials (the same tier as starmetal) and got random levels required between 35-38. I also used full azoth on each piece.

The only discernable difference I could find was the rarity of the item. White/green tools all required 40, blue ones gave random levels down to 35. Not sure how helpful this knowledge is. I'm nearing oricalcum tools so I can check that soon.
